A Plague Tale: Innocence is an unusual medieval story about the Inquisition, which involves adventure, puzzle-solving, deadly combat, and stealth. Players take on the role of Amicia De Rune, a young girl who must protect her brother Hugo and herself from the deadly disease, swarm of rats, and armies of warriors and assassins.
The story is set during mid-1300 when a mysterious plague ravages the Kingdom of France. For unknown reasons, Amicia and Hugo are pursued by the Inquisition through villages devastated by the disease. To escape their pursuers, the protagonists will have to join forces with other children and evade swarms of rats using fire and light.
