From history books we have learned that during the 14th century, a devastating epidemic killed almost one-third of Europe’s population.
This deadly disease, known as the Black plague or the Bubonic plague, took its names from its most visible symptoms: black spots on the skin and swollen lymph nodes called buboes.
At the time, many considered the Plague to be divine punishment for humanity’s sins, reshaping the landscape of the then-known world, and plunging the entire European continent into a state of frustration, abject fear, and impotence.
In Piaga 1348, you play the role of Soldiers of the Ordo Mortis, an undercover army fighting a secret war to eradicate the Revenant Plague (a name lost to history) and its grim consequences.
