The game is set in the 14th Century, in a reimagined dystopian era of history during the time of the Hundred Year War. This war between the English and the French rages on throughout the plot of this second outing, with politics playing a key role in the squabbles that Amicia finds herself in. However, when the rats burst from the ground, it's every man for themselves. This story is a supernatural spin on the true-to-life events of the Black Plague.
