Evaluation

BROK the InvestiGator - Prologue is a free standalone prologue containing the first chapter of the full BROK the InvestiGator game. It was released on December 2, 2020 and has always been a self-contained, intentionally limited slice of the full game — not a product designed to receive its own ongoing content stream. The store description explicitly states "This prologue contains the first chapter (out of six in the final game)" and notes "The full game is now available!" — directing players to the separate full release (App ID 949480), which launched on August 26, 2022. Since the full game's release, the prologue has received periodic maintenance updates to keep it in sync with the full version's code and accessibility improvements (most recently in March 2023), but these are synchronization patches rather than original content additions. The prologue has no DLC, no season pass, and no announced future content of its own. Its purpose — to serve as a free introduction to the full game — has been fulfilled. COWCAT's ongoing development activity (including a Christmas visual novel spinoff released in December 2024 and a comic book Kickstarter in September 2024) is centered on the BROK universe broadly, not on expanding this prologue specifically. This prologue shipped as a complete, intentionally scoped product on December 2, 2020, and remains available as a free sampler for the full game.

About this game

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?

This prologue contains the first chapter (out of six in the final game)
