From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Plague_Tale:_Innocence):
A Plague Tale: Innocence is an action-adventure survival horror stealth game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Home Interactive. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in May 2019, and received generally positive reviews from critics. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game will be released in July 2021, alongside cloud-based edition for the Nintendo Switch.[1] The sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, is set to be released in 2022.
In A Plague Tale: Innocence, the player assumes control of Amicia de Rune from a third-person perspective. For the majority of the game, players need to utilize stealth to avoid hostile encounters, as enemies will kill Amicia instantly if they catch her. Amicia is equipped with a sling that can throw rocks to break chains, create distractions, or stun guards long enough for the rats to ambush them; she can also kill enemies with a headshot if their head is unprotected. Her sling also has the ability to throw a variety of homemade alchemic substances, some of which can start fires, put out fires, or attract rats to a certain location.[2]
The game consists of a series of survival puzzles, which mostly consist of the player having to use specific methods to scare away or distract the hordes of hungry rats in order to gain access to new areas or direct them towards enemies. The primary method of warding rats off is fire, as they will seldom enter within the radius of burning torches and braziers. Amicia can craft special ammunition and supplies, which include fire-starting sulfur stones that ignite braziers, stink bombs that attract rats, or fire suppressants to extinguish torches carried by enemies.[3] Amicia's younger brother, Hugo, can be directed towards specific tasks when Amicia is busy, and can also access certain areas that she cannot. However, this is risky, as Hugo will start to panic if left alone and can attract unwanted attention. Later in the game, the player can assume control of Hugo, who cannot craft items but can control rats and sneak through small spaces.
The game's development was led by Asobo Studio. It is their first original title since the team created the racing game Fuel (2009), and the company wanted to create a narrative-driven experience inspired by The Last of Us and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The main theme of A Plague Tale: Innocence is "family" and how the characters' relationships are challenged during adverse circumstances.[4] Another important theme is "innocence".[5] Hugo, in particular, will observe the player character's behaviors and slowly transform from an innocent boy to a ruthless individual.[6] Child actors Charlotte McBurney and Logan Hannan provided their voice for Amicia and Hugo respectively. The two also participated in the writing process by suggesting changes to dialogue and alternative takes.[7] Up to 5,000 rats can appear on-screen simultaneously. To ensure the game can handle rendering so many enemies without sacrificing performance, the team introduced four layers of details when rendering the rats, in which rats furthest away from the player character exist as a "background, non-animated mesh", whereas the rats closest to the player are animated in detail.[8]
Publisher Focus Home Interactive announced the game in January 2017 as The Plague.[9] A first look game trailer appeared at E3 2017.[10] The game was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 14, 2019.[11] The Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game will be released on 6 July, 2021; the Nintendo Switch will be playable via cloud.[12]
The "Coats of Arms" DLC is available for all the three platforms, and came bundled with the pre-order version of the game. It adds three alternate skins for Amicia and Hugo's outfits and coats of arms. The additional content is cosmetic in nature.[13]
According to review aggregator Metacritic, the game received "generally favorable reviews" from critics.[14][15] It was the ninth best-selling retail game in the UK in its week of release.[26] In July 2020, Focus Home announced that the game had sold more than 1 million copies.[27]
