About This Game
"Brok" is a narrative-driven game that blends action, puzzles and investigation in never-before-seen ways. Will you use your brain... or your brawn?
In a futuristic "light cyberpunk" world where animals have replaced humans, privileged citizens live under a protective dome from the ambient air pollution while others struggle to make a living on the outside.
Brok, private detective and former boxer, lives with Graff, the son of his deceased wife. Although he could never elucidate the nature behind her accident, recent events may shed some light on an even more tragic outcome... one that may be linked to their own existence.
Will they be able to withstand the threats of this corrupted world and face their own destiny?

real good story top tier voice acting and brok is super hot
𝘽𝙍𝙊𝙆 𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒 - 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙋𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙖𝙜𝙚 🐊🔍 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗞 - 𝗠𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘 Brok the InvestiGator, an experience you will never have in any other game. An deep story that holds you from beginning to the end, unique type of gameplay with a mix of POINT N CLICK with BEAT EM UP adventure! I cannot express in words how much I loved this project, it shows how much care and love it was put into it. Speaking of love and care..we have the most likeable characters I have seen in a GOOD WHILE, there wasn't a single character that was bad written or generic. ALL of THEM had their own style, their own way to live in this world, BROK (The Detective) being my favorite, I could relate to him and his decisions all the time, and seeing how EVERYTHING can change by your decisions.....
Do you like Beat em Up games with s̶e̶x̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶e̶a̶l̶ pen and paper/what if decisions sprinkled with point and click adventure elements? Then this is the game for you. Think Final Fight Meets a Tell Tale like game (light on the cinematics, but still pretty good.) Good voice acting, silly sci fi stuff, and the ability to make stupid decisions. It made me think of early saturday morning cartoons and early Disney cartoons like Ducktales and Talespin. Almost every NPC can be killed or lost. Most choices or routes matter to the story (i.e. choosing to cross a minefield without deactivating the mines or punching a death trap roomba with your bare hands.) About 8 to 10 hour game depending on how you get to your first ending. Still going through it and trying to beat the new DLC and acquire all the endings. I really hope this game comes out with a sequel or a spin off in the same universe. I wish there were more games that were like this around to play.
BROK the InvestiGator is a vibrant and inventive blend of visual novel storytelling and classic beat ’em up gameplay, wrapped in a charming anthropomorphic detective tale that stands out for its unique tone and style. The game delivers a refreshing twist on the noir detective genre by injecting humor, heart, and a colorful cast of characters into a world where all inhabitants are anthropomorphic animals. From the moment you start, BROK promises an experience that balances narrative depth with engaging action sequences, creating a hybrid that appeals to fans of both story-driven games and retro arcade-style combat. The game’s narrative is one of its strongest assets, centering around Brok, a gruff but good-hearted alligator private investigator trying to rebuild his life after a personal tragedy. The story is richly layered, blending mystery, humor, and emotional moments to craft a tale that feels both sincere and entertaining. The dialogue is sharp and often witty, with a cast of ...
Fantastic point and click adventure game with good puzzles and an engaging story. Brawling mechanics are entertaining enough and add another dimension to the gameplay.
This game blew me away. I bought it on a whim while bored and I was hooked The story is interesting, the puzzles are challenging and thought trough, the fights are also quite entertaining. Most importantly - your choices MATTER. I am so used to games with small impacts but here you can play it again and experience new zones, characters and development! 10/10 will play again
You ever wondered what it would be like if put-put saves the zoo was about put-put's dog pep being radicalized against the treatment of the animals in the zoo? Maybe Freddie fish was about a dystopian government polluting the ocean she lived in? What if Pajama sam was afraid of darkness because he had PTSD and learned that punching darkness in the face helped him cope with his trauma? or Maybe during a mission spyfox killed a man? That's what playing Brok the investigator felt like. You go in with a expectation with the game's silly pun of a title and charming 90's era art style. Then you side swiped with commentary that aged maybe a little bit too well 3 years sense it's release; packed with characters who has some serious baggage. With 11 endings that will either make your heart melt. Or break it Depending on what you choose to do in the game. Also did I mention you can punch every one in the game I spent a entire day punching the main characters just for laughs. P.S Graff Fi...
Brok is that Croc
A fun blend of combat and mystery-solving!
