About this game
A Christmas Tale in a Dystopia
When students Graff and Ott are called upon to celebrate "Natal Untail," a corrupted version of Atlasia's ancient tradition, they'll discover that even in this decaying world, the values of sharing and friendship endure as life's greatest treasures.
Do I need to play BROK the InvestiGator first?
Nope! This story serves as a prequel to the main game, introducing the characters and explain the game’s terminology. While playing BROK the InvestiGator first provides additional context, this visual novel is a valid entry point into the BROK universe.
What is the length?
I have written and made this visual novel in approximately 3 weeks of work, this re-uses a large majority of assets from the main game, and spans about an hour to get through.
Accessibility
This visual novel has full accessibility for blind players in English.
Special Edition
The original version is free, but the upgraded "Special Edition" of Natal Tail, revisited for consoles, with choices, achievements and new scenes is now also available on PC as a DLC to support the developer!
