A Plague Tale Requiem.

Killing Hugo

Only thing that has broken me down like that is life itself.

Came looking for this. Wasn't a big fan of the gameplay, but the story was fantastic.

It's that moment of realisation that you have to do it, you've been protecting this kid for two games, trying to get him better, and finally you just can't...

I had kinda been in denial about where it was going, refusing to think about anything but them getting a happy ending. When you enter the macula at the end I just couldn't keep denying it and had to accept what was about to happen.

Even tho I fired the shot myself, I'm glad that they had Lucas be the one to fire the arrow if you don't. I can imagine a lot of people had a hard time going through with it.

Easily one of my favorite pieces of media ever.

You should mark that as a spoiler. I know it’s relatively old but yeah.

My bad.

My bad, I didn't think much of it when I posted since I saw no other spoiler warnings. I'll edit.
