French developer COWCAT has announced that after six years of development its upcoming hybrid point-and-click beat ’em up game BROK the InvestiGator will release on Steam and GOG on August 27 (August 26 global release date).
With a visual style that is inspired by 90s cartoons and gameplay that mixes two vastly different genres, BROK is certainly a unique idea, especially when you throw in the fact that you play as a boxer-turned-private detective alligator.
The game’s synopsis on Steam reads as follows:
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?
BROK has been on my radar for a while now, so I am super excited to get my hands on it in a couple of weeks.
A console release is planned for later in the year, but for now, BROK will launch on Steam and GOG on August 26.
