A Plague Tale : Requiem

A Plague Tale : Requiem is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Strong Language, and Violence. This is an adventure game in which players assume the roles of siblings Amicia and Hugo as they journey to a remote island in 14th-century France. From a third-person perspective, players traverse dark environments, avoid guards/soldiers, and use light sources to ward of swarms of rats. Soldiers can kill players by using swords and axes or setting them on fire. Players can fight back, using a sling and a crossbow, attacking enemies from a distance; stealth attacks allow players to strangle enemies from behind. Blood-splatter effects occur when characters are hit/injured, and corpses are sometimes depicted with exposed entrails/viscera. A handful of environments depict bound corpses hanging over and/or lying in pools of blood. Additional acts of violence include a soldier striking a villager with an ax and a woman slitting a bound captive's throat (off-screen). The word “f**k” appears in the game.
