Genre mashups are rad, but we’re surprised this combo of flavours haven’t been done enough. Brok The InvestiGator is a game by indie devs Cowcat Games where it’s part point-and-click adventure, and part beat-’em-up.
You play as Brok, an alligator, an investigator (heh) and former boxer investigating this “light cyberpunk” world where animals replaces mankind completely. You’ll be solving puzzles, make choices that may impact the gameplay or story, and if you feel like it, engage in fisticuffs- turning the point-and-click into a beat-’em-up.
The beat-’em-up aspect can be turned off, should you prefer a more straightforward adventure game experience.
A free prologue is available right now on PC via Steam, giving you 2-4 hours of gameplay.
Brok the InvestiGator is releasing in late 2021 on PC, with plans for a console release in 2022. Currently, there’s a Kickstarter campaign for the game to create a “big box” physical release and other merch.
