A Plague Tale: Innocence is a narrative-driven survival adventure from developer Asobo Studio and publisher Focus Entertainment, following siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune as they flee across plague-ravaged 14th-century France. The game weaves stealth, light puzzle-solving, and crafting together with a story shaped by the Black Death and swarms of rats that react dynamically to light and sound.
Combat leans on improvised tools like a sling and alchemical concoctions rather than direct confrontation, pushing players to use the environment and the rat swarms themselves as weapons against pursuing soldiers.
