Much like the first game, siblings Amicia and Hugo’s journey in A Plague Tale: Innocence is filled with death and tragedy.

However, it looks like their situation might finally be improving when they arrive at the island of La Cuna and are taken in by the welcoming Count and Countess. Not only do they discover a way that could stop Hugo’s affliction from worsening, consequently putting an end to the horrific rat plague, but they’re likewise reunited with their mother and close friend Lucas upon returning to the Count's castle following their groundbreaking revelation.

Just as the group are about to leave for the harbour and escape to live a quiet life as a family, the Count summons Amicia for a chat. Given all the harrowing events these characters have endured, players will instinctively brace themself for something terrible to happen as soon as Amicia leaves her family's side. But nobody could have predicted just how far south things would go.

Not only does the Count attempt to kill Amicia, but she then watches helplessly as the Countess executes her mother. Things get exponentially worse when Hugo sees what's happened and consequently summons hordes of rats to enact vengeance.

Somehow, events only get more upsetting for the siblings from here.
