In the Epic Games Store, you can regularly expect high-profile free games. Especially around the turn of the year. A very special story game focusing on stealth is available for free today, but you need to hurry because you only have until 5 PM to grab the game.
What kind of game is A Plague Tale: Innocence?
- It is set in France in the year 1348, during the height of the plague
- Siblings Amicia and Hugo must flee from the Inquisition and survive the rat and disease-infested villages on their journey
- A special mechanic features massive swarms of rats that Amicia can only fend off with torches and light
- The rats are not only a great danger, but also a way to distract other enemies
The game has, in addition to its story focus, a major gameplay element with stealth around human opponents and the rat swarms. It is varied by smaller puzzle sections where you have to use the various elements in puzzles.
