France, 1348: plague is spreading through the villages and the Inquisition is hunting Amicia and her kid brother Hugo. You guide the siblings through ruined countryside, avoiding soldiers and the swarms of rats that devour anything in their path, which you keep at bay with fire and light. Along the way they team up with other children and learn to rely on each other.
Asobo Studio's story-driven, third-person action-adventure is grim in tone and centered on the bond between two siblings. It is single-player with full controller support. It suits players who like cinematic, narrative-led games with stealth and survival, and who do not mind a heavy subject.
