Brok the InvestiGator is getting a festive spin-off! This free, hour-long visual novel prequel offers a heartwarming Christmas adventure, a departure from the main game's action-adventure style.

Forget beat 'em up gameplay; Brok Natal Tail Christmas focuses on the story of Graff and Ott celebrating a twisted version of Christmas, Natal Untail, in their world of Atlasia. Despite the corrupted holiday, they manage to find genuine Christmas cheer with Brok's help.

This isn't a full-fledged game; expect around an hour of playtime. However, it showcases Cowcat's new Brokvn Engine and explores a different genre entirely.

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

There's little risk in trying it; unless you actively dislike visual novels, this unique take on the Brok universe is worth exploring.
