BROK the InvestiGator, the very first "Punch & Click!"
What kind of detective will you be?

Narrative-driven adventure game that blends action 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, a private detective and former boxer, lives with Graff, the son of his deceased wife. Although he could never elucidate 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?

A deep and emotional narrative-rich experience filled with characters reminiscent of classic 80s/90s cartoons. The first game to combine a "Classic Adventure" with "Beat'em up" and RPG elements!

• Solve puzzles with your wits... or muscles!
• Make choices impacting gameplay and/or story
• Easy mode for pure "Point & Click" gameplay (fights can be skipped)
• Level up to beat enemies and bosses
• Combine clues to uncover the truth!
• In-game hints
• All controls supported (mouse, keyboard, controller, touch on mobile)
• Two playable characters, switch at any time
• 15 to 20 hours long on first playthrough
• Multiple distinct endings to unlock
• Text fully translated into 10 languages
• Full english voice acting (23,000 lines)
• Local co-op adventure supported (up to 4 players)

More info: Accessibility page

In addition to general improvements and bug fixing, combat has been vastly improved for more dynamic fights.

See a list of changes below that the consoles version will benefit from day one!

• The character design and some plot elements are inspired by cartoons from the early 90's, in particular The Disney Afternoon.
  
  
• By the way - Jymn Magon, co-creator/writer of TaleSpin, Ducktales, Gummi Bears, A Goofy Movie... edited my first script!
  
  
• I'm doing most of the work myself : game design, writing, programming, inking/coloring/shading characters, drawing/painting backgrounds...
  
  
• However several artists helped with character design / animation and did most of the characters sketches, plus one music composer, a lot of translators, and of course, many talented voice actors! (see list below)
  
  
• Brok is developed with GameMaker Studio 2.
  
  
• Players can submit fanart, included directly into the game! ("extras" section) More info
