The Sickle Family is a dark, emotional adventure about dogs and the real-life trauma of loss and grief. You begin inside a unique in-game OS, uncovering the story of your brother鈥檚 passing and the struggles he endured. Along the way, you discover that he was developing a game about dogs, the very game you come to know as The Sickle Family.
Inside that game, you鈥檒l uncover the mysteries of The Sickle Family and step into the role of Andru of the Roz family, the protagonist whose journey reveals the deeper truths behind the story.
The OS serves as a starting point, offering optional exploration and behind-the-scenes lore that adds depth to the story. You can explore it at your own pace, and while some elements are used later in the game, it鈥檚 easy to navigate and won鈥檛 overwhelm you.
