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, hour-long visual novel prequel, Brok Natal Tail Christmas, offers a heartwarming Christmas story, a departure from the main game's action-adventure gameplay.

The game follows Graff and Ott as they celebrate a twisted version of Christmas, Natal Untail, in their world of Atlasia. Despite the corruption, they manage to find genuine Christmas cheer with Brok's help.

This isn't a full-fledged game, clocking in at around an hour of playtime. However, it showcases Cowcat's new Brokvn Engine and explores a new genre for the developer.

Given it's free and a fun Christmas treat for Brok fans, criticizing its short length seems unfair. Cowcat's willingness to experiment with a new genre is commendable.

There's little downside to trying it; unless you actively dislike visual novels. If you're open to something different, give it a shot!
