  • Stealth
  • Narrative
  • Adventure

A stealth adventure set in France in 1348: you guide Amicia, holding her brother Hugo by the hand, past soldiers who kill in one hit, using fire and light to cross swarms of rats, armed with a sling and alchemy recipes.

Why play it now

When you're in the mood for a linear, moving story over a few evenings: it lasts between 10 and 15 hours, across 17 chapters.

Who it's for

For anyone who prefers stealth and simple light-and-rat puzzles to combat.

When not to pick it

If you want challenge or freedom: it's very guided, easy, and some of its bosses feel clumsy.
