BROK: Natal Tail, A New Christmas
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
An official Christmas tale based set in the world of BROK the InvestiGator, presented as an independent visual novel.
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.
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 (Windows and Mac) to support the developer!
To access the "Special" download, donate at least $2.99.
------------------------------------------------------
Do I need to play the main game first?
Not at all! 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.
Free to download!
The game is free, but any donations are greatly appreciated and will help support the development of future BROK projects.
- Any donation of $1.99 or more grants you 15 digital postcards ready to print and send to your friends or family!
- Any donation of $2.99 grants you the Special Edition of the game with new choices and in-game achievements.
Accessibility
This visual novel has full accessibility for blind players in English.

Hi, my name is Dylan. I’m a sound engineer and musician with several years of experience in music production. I’m still early in my professional journey, but I’m fully capable of creating music and sound for video games and eager to grow through real projects.
I’ve checked out your game, and its atmosphere really caught my attention. I’d love to collaborate and help shape its sound identity.
I create original music, sound design, and audio integration tailored to each project’s tone and gameplay. My goal is to enhance the player experience with immersive and coherent audio.
If you’re open to discussing a collaboration or would like to hear examples of my work, I’d be happy to share them.
Thanks for your time, and best of luck with your project.
Best regards,
Dylan
