BROK the InvestiGator - The first ever "Punch & Click!"

03.12.2020, 17:55
Hi!

I could have sworn I had posted this already but I can't find it - was this moved? If so, let me know. (And sorry for writing into English - my German isn't good ^^')

After 4 years of work since Demetrios, I'm finally ready to unveil my new adventure game - "BROK the InvestiGator!"
And I have a surprise for you...
A free prologue is available RIGHT NOW on Steam and GOG!

Steam : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1318790
GOG : https://www.gog.com/game/brok_the_investigator_prologue

Whaaaaat? Fights?!... (runs away)

WAIT! Don't leave yet!
I know. Adventure gamers don't like action scenes in their point & click.
However, it would be a mistake not to give it a chance. Because...

- Brok is 90% a classic adventure game and can be fully played with a mouse.

- All fights and action scenes can be skipped. The game offers a difficulty choice, the "story" mode gives access to that "skip" button.

- And most importantly... The ability to break stuff is a tool added to your regular adventure game panel.

Actually, you'll use it most often OUTSIDE of fights!

All the Brok rooms are highly interactive. Maybe even more than any classic adventure game ever made.

Of course, you can click on any elements like a regular Point & Click and get (voice acted) descriptions by your character, pick up inventory and solve puzzles etc...
But you can also hit and break many elements (including characters!) and jump everywhere!
The whole game was built around this idea.

Now, let's add that choices matter in Brok (multiple endings + a screen summarizes your path) and you can start to realize how this opens a whole range of possibilities.

As for the story... Forget Demetrios.
Brok is on a whole other dimension when it comes to narration. And the few testers who already played through the whole game will attest it :p
But the best is still for you to... experience it.

GRAB the prologue and PLAY it! :)

Let me know if you have any questions!

NB : BROK prologue is already 100% translated into German!

Hey adventure gamers,

Not much activity but hopefully this topic allows some of you to notice the game.

BROK prologue has received a lot of praise! It's currently 98% positive on Steam out of 70 reviews, all ending with "I can't wait for the full release!"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1318 ... _Prologue/

I'm happy everyone approves the risk I took, combining two opposite genres into one big adventure :)

Now the Kickstarter is live!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/co ... vestigator
Already more than 50% funded in 3 hours and Kickstarter added it to "Projects we love!" ^^

I'll complete this game no matter what but this is a good opportunity for some limited goodies such as a PC "big box" physical.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Been a while since the last update!
I have published a brand new screenshot, from the Chapter 2 of the game and featuring the second playable character, Graff:

BROK is now slated for 2022. I'm having great progress but it's a very ambitious adventure game and I want to take the time to make sure it's as good as possible.
For more info, check the latest Kickstarter updates, this one in particular:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/co ... ts/3311945

By the way, the free Prologue is now 97% positive on Steam and 4.8/5 on GOG!

6 long years of hard work coming to fruition... 🔍👊
My new adventure game BROK the InvestiGator will release August 26th on Steam and GOG!

Date release trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JKf3uNTl4A

Don't get fooled by the action, this GATORIFIC "Punch & Click" adventure is for everyone!
A "relaxed" mode lets you skip all the action so you can play it like any other Point & Click adventure 😁

The Prologue was rated 97% by Steam players and 4.9/5 on GOG 😉
