Brok the Investigator is getting a Christmas-themed standalone release you can play now

Brok the InvestiGator is getting a festive spin-off! This free visual novel, clocking in at around an hour, offers a heartwarming Christmas prequel to the main game. Forget the beat 'em up action; this is a charming tale of holiday cheer.

In Brok Natal Tail Christmas, players join Graff and Ott as they navigate a twisted version of Christmas, Natal Untail, in their world of Atlasia. Despite the corruption, they discover the true spirit of the season with a little help from Brok.

This isn't a full-fledged game, but it's a fun genre experiment showcasing Cowcat's new Brokvn Engine. The short playtime is easily forgiven given it's free and explores a new direction for the franchise.

It's a low-risk, high-reward experience. Unless you actively dislike visual novels, there's little reason not to give this unique Christmas treat a try. If you enjoy it, consider exploring other point-and-click adventures like the spooky Darkside Detective or unwinding with some of the best mobile games of 2024.
