    I have become a big Brok The InvestiGator sucker, so I am absolutely looking forward to the spin-off survival visual novel Celsius Strays.

    In Brok The InvestiGator, rats are known as squealers and are banned from Atlasia, where the game takes place. That’s a very minor spoiler since they’re mostly a nothing burger group you basically don’t see at all after the first chapter.

    But in this spin-off game, which has a playable demo, you play as the chief of the squealers. The whole entire plot is centered around you making choices to help your colony survive as the hot months are coming soon. Your choices can end up getting more food, more things like bedding and clothing, machine parts to fix a water purifier thing, and I think one other thing I can’t remember right now. All supplies needed for the survival of your people.

    There’s also a plot featuring a mystery character that is brought in during the chapter 1 demo, so I am absolutely pumped to learn about this mystery fellow and how he plays a role in what happens in chapter 1 that really kicks things in motion.

    The moment I found out about it, I immediately downloaded the demo and played through it. For the most part, it feels like it has a pretty dark story with some minor comedic relief so far, with a little lighthearted moment in the end of the demo.
