Violence, fear, nudity?
There is blood, gore, violence and the game can be stressful at times. This game is set during the Hundred Hundred War and depicts scenes of violence and war that are relatively intense for sensitive hearts.

Quite strong and a little vulgar. Enemies and soldiers can use an inappropriate language for young people.

Principle of the game
The world of Amicia de Rune is turned upside down when the Inquisition knocks on its door. She must flee with her little brother who is already weakened by a strange disease. She will have to protect him from the danger that the world of France will be subjected during the Hundred Years War and find a cure for his illness.
She will travel around France in search of what can save her brother from the strange disease, when the inquisition will be at her disposal. Throughout the story, learn how to use the powers his brother has over the rats of the plague in order to get you out of situations and unravel the mystery that surrounds your family.
This game is action and stealth style. There are times when you will have to react quickly to certain situations. Others will require a little more subtlety in order to cross the level. Have the powers of the little brother you will be able to solve some puzzles and go through the different levels.
