Brok the InvestiGator's Festive Spin-Off: A Christmas Visual Novel Adventure
The action-adventure game, Brok the InvestiGator, is getting a free, hour-long visual novel spin-off for the holiday season. This prequel to the main game, titled Brok Natal Tail Christmas, offers a heartwarming Christmas story, diverging from the original's beat 'em up gameplay.
The narrative follows Graff and Ott as they navigate a twisted version of Christmas, "Natal Untail," in their world, Atlasia. Despite the corruption, they manage to find genuine Christmas cheer with Brok's assistance.
While a short experience, Brok Natal Tail Christmas represents a genre shift for developer Cowcat, showcasing their new Brokvn Engine. The free nature of the game makes it a low-risk, high-reward proposition for fans.
A Point-and-Click Christmas Treat
Given its free availability and festive theme, criticizing the game's short length seems unfair. Cowcat's willingness to experiment with a new genre is commendable. There's little to lose by trying it, unless visual novels are entirely outside your comfort zone.
If this piques your interest in point-and-click adventures or visual novels, consider exploring Darkside Detective, a spooky 90s-inspired mystery, or relaxing with some of the best mobile games of 2024.
