Sicarios is a game that allows you to experience this fantasy. The word Sicarios comes from Latin and refers to hitmen or hired killers. In the game, you play as Brena, a poor boy living in a slum with his loyal dog, Rocky. The slum is filled with illegal activities such as drugs, prostitution, and violence, making it an unusual and dangerous place to live. This story-based and message-driven game follows Brena’s journey of survival in this harsh environment. The game includes some puzzles to solve, but they are not too difficult, making it suitable for a wide audience.

The game begins with Brena and his dog Rocky, who is sick. Brena turns to his friend’s wife, Ana, for help and guidance. Ana and her husband, Luiz, are a couple who live in the slum. Brena notices Luiz’s son, Ruan, playing football and joins in, showing off his skills. Afterward, Brena needs to find some chamomile flowers to make Rocky feel better. Luiz, who doesn’t want Brena to live in poverty, offers him some work. He takes Brena to a bar to meet his boss, Davi. Brena doesn’t understand their conversation, but he learns that Davi is a hitman. Luiz and Brena used to work for Davi, committing crimes and receiving rewards. Davi’s latest mission is for them to kill a man named Botu and bring back his bag. However, they have no information about Botu, so Brena goes to the market to gather clues. He discovers that Botu will be visiting a prostitute named Carla. They successfully kill Botu, but Luiz decides to keep the bag instead of giving it to Davi. Brena is against this and the two friends fight, resulting in Brena accidentally shooting Luiz. Brena decides to use the reward money to take care of Luiz’s wife and son and return to his simple way of life. The game’s story is unique and includes multiple languages. The game’s animations are hand-drawn and accompanied by realistic music. Completing puzzles is the key to advancing through the game’s levels.
