Point-and-click adventure and beat ’em up hybrid BROK the InvestiGator will launch for PC via Steam and GOG on August 26, followed by PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch this winter, developer COWCAT announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via its store pages:
About
BROK the InvestiGator 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?
