For a while now, since I first saw the concept art for it, I’ve been really hyped for A Plague Tale: Innocence. I have to give a thousand thanks to Asobo Studio and Focus Home Interactive for giving me an opportunity for seeing if the hype I’ve had was worth the wait. I’m happy to say, this is possibly the best game I have played so far as a Game Reviewer here at Horror Fuel! A Plague Tale: Innocence Follows Amicia De Rune, whose world was flipped upside down one fateful day when Inquisition forces led by Lord Nickolas murder her parents. Before escaping, Amicia is given the task to look after her little brother Hugo, who has been kept indoors since his birth due to an infliction that made their mother, an alchemist, his full-time caregiver which has led to a tense relationship between Amicia and her mother and resentment towards Hugo. The siblings are forced to bond since

With its May 14th release approaching, Asobo Studios and Focus Home Interactive put up a new trailer that focuses on the human foes in A Plague Tale: Innocence. The trailer titled “Monsters” shows that the plague rats are only a fraction of what our heroes need to worry about, while the rats are driven by nature and instinct, humans are far scarier as they’re driven by something else. The game’s main characters, Amicia and Hugo are orphaned while the plague tears through France and their only salvation is to leave but not just because of the illness and the rats, but because of the inquisition that seeks out Hugo. The sibling’s masked foe is Lord Nickolas, is the commander of the Inquisition’s forces. A worthy opponent who will do whatever it takes to complete his mission and not allowing anyone to get in his way. But every puppet needs a master and his name is Vitalis, a mysterious clergyman whose

Focus Home Interactive has released their third and final episode of their web series showing behind the scenes of the making of their upcoming game, A Plague Tale: Innocence. The final episode titled “Children of the Plague” focuses more on the game’s main antagonists, the hoard of plague-infested rats. The developers at Asobo Studio used their own software to create the hoard of vermin where at times there will be about 5000 rats on the screen, along with being programmed with a “hive mind”, each virtual rat will have its own artificial intelligence and behavior. Spectacularly creepy! Rats for generations have been blamed for the Second Pandemic (Black Death) and have been depicted for a long time as being ravenous hoards attacking at will. Though the idea and imagery of a moving mountain of sleek fur, wormy tails, and deafening squeaks gnawing away at you instill fear and disgust, our own fears give these little dudes a little too much
