1. Killing A Major Character - A Plague Tale: Requiem (2022)
SPOILERS for A Plague Tale: Requiem
--
Taking place six months after the first game, Requiem sees siblings Amicia and Hugo, having escaped their home, travel to the lush lands of Provence in hopes of finding a cure to the youngster’s affliction. However, tragedy is never far behind this pair, and they soon find themselves plunged into another emotionally devastating adventure where they’ll uncover more secrets about this strange illness.
After spending two entire games with this dedicated duo and going through their heart-wrenching journey alongside them, we’re immensely invested in saving Hugo from the disease that’s slowly consuming him.
But this is A Plague Tale and nothing pleasant is allowed to happen.
Towards the end of the pair’s journey, Hugo, who believes his sister to be dead, allows himself to be taken over by the sickness. Amicia does everything she can to reach him, but there’s nothing she can do for him. The only way to prevent the rat plague from spreading is to kill Hugo ourselves.
It’s at this point we must aim Amicia’s slingshot to deliver the killing blow, cutting the screen to black. There’s no way to get out sealing Hugo’s fate either. Wait too long and your companion will simply kill him instead.
