Fans of the action-adventure game Brok the InvestiGator have something special to look forward to this holiday season. A new spin-off visual novel, Brok Natal Tail Christmas, is set to release as a free-to-play prequel to the original game. This one-hour adventure invites players to dive into a heartwarming Christmas story, exploring the festive yet corrupted celebration of Natal Untail in the city of Atlasia, alongside characters Graff and Ott. With the help of Brok, they discover the true spirit of the holiday season.
Don't expect any beat 'em-up action in this spin-off, as it marks a departure from the original gameplay. Instead, Brok Natal Tail Christmas introduces players to the point-and-click genre, powered by developer Cowcat's new Brokvn Engine. This brief yet delightful experience not only offers a fresh narrative but also showcases Cowcat's venture into new gaming territories.
Given its short duration and no-cost nature, there's little reason not to give Brok Natal Tail Christmas a try. It's the perfect quick Christmas gift for fans of the series, and an admirable effort by Cowcat to explore a different genre. If you're open to visual novels and looking for a cozy way to spend an hour, this spin-off is a great choice.
For those who enjoy point-and-click adventures or visual novels, this could be the perfect gateway to more titles in the genre. Consider exploring the quirky, 90s-inspired mystery of The Darkside Detective, or wrap up the year with the best mobile games of 2024 (so far).
