It is the sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence , and follows siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune who must look for a cure to Hugo's blood disease in Southern France while fleeing from soldiers of the Inquisition and hordes of rats that are spreading the black plague. In the game, the player assumes control of Amicia and must face off against both soldiers from the French Inquisition and hordes of rats that are spreading the black plague. Amicia is equipped with weapons such as a knife to stab enemies, a sling that can be used to throw rocks, and a crossbow which allows her to easily defeat armoured opponents. In addition to Ignifer and Extinguis, which allows the player to light and extinguish flame respectively, the game introduces tar, which increases the radius of the light source, and can be used to ignite enemies. Locations are also larger in Requiem, giving players additional options to progress. Similar to the first game, the rats, which are light-averse, play a huge role in the game. Amicia and Hugo must stay in the light, or they will be devoured by the rats. Amicia can use the rats to her advantage, manipulating them to solve puzzles, or even lure them to kill enemies. The game also features a progression system in which the player will be awarded additional skills and abilities. The player's gear and equipment can also be upgraded at workbenches. Six months following the events of the first game, siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune , along with their mother Beatrice and her apprentice Lucas , seek refuge among an organization of alchemists called the Order. A hostile group of beekeepers attacks the siblings, causing the Prima Macula to reawaken in Hugo. In a town in Provence, Beatrice and Order representative Vaudin's attempts to treat Hugo only exacerbate his condition, resulting in the town being swarmed by rats and left in ruins.
