A Plague Tale: Requiem is not an open-world game. It is a linear action-adventure game that follows a set story and path. The game is set in medieval France and follows the journey of two siblings, Amicia and Hugo, as they try to survive and escape the clutches of the Inquisition during the time of the Black Death. Players will need to solve puzzles, avoid enemies, and make decisions that affect the outcome of the story.
