A Christmas tale set in the world of BROK the InvestiGator, presented as an independent visual novel. When students Graff and Ott are called upon to celebrate "Natal Untail," a corrupted version of Atlasia's ancient tradition, they'll discover that even in this decaying world, the values of sharing and friendship endure as life's greatest treasures. --------------------------------------------------- - Do I need to play BROK the InvestiGator first? Nope! This story serves as a prequel to the main game, introducing the characters and explain the game’s terminology. While playing BROK the InvestiGator first provides additional context, this visual novel is a valid entry point into the BROK universe. - What is the length? I have written and made this visual novel in approximately 3 weeks of work, this re-uses a large majority of assets from the main game, and spans about an hour to get through. - Accessibility This visual novel has full accessibility for blind players in English. - Free to download! The game is free, but any donations are greatly appreciated and will help support the development of future BROK projects.
