As of now, despite not playing it much, Brok the Investigator. The game, according to the trailer, takes place in a polluted world where animals replace humans. Tiny spoiler you learn in chapter 1, but the rich, drummers, live under a dome and have tons of resources and bots to aid them and the poor, slummers, live in squalor outside the dome.
You play as Brok, an alligator (crocodile?) who lives in an apartment in the slums with his cat son Graff. The game has some pretty good accessibility features, from what I've heard (haven't used the vast majority of them since I don't need them). It has some easy enough puzzles that are found in different chapters. Has some basic combat in the game that can be skipped by choosing the easiest difficulty, if I remember correctly.
The story spans 6 endings affected by how you play and the choices you make. Apparently there is a true ending after getting all the endings, but the first ending I got is what I personally consider the "true" ending. All characters that speak are fully voiced acted in English. The game has translations for all text in a ton of different languages. There is a small array of different characters with unique personalities. It even has a co-op mode in case you really feel like playing with a friend for some reason, like struggling in fights.
Over the summer I ordered a thing from Cowcat Games, the people behind the game, that comes with the game on disk and USB, a poster of the kinda hub world map thing, a couple post cards, and an art book. Also got a soundtrack CD and a plushie of both of the main characters. Definitely a game I have fallen in love with, in case you couldn't tell. I'm waiting for the financial aid office at the community college I go to to get me processed so I can at some point get a frame for the poster so I can display it somewhere in my room.
I don't know when it'll be done yet, but they're working on a DLC for the game that is focused on the combat system. I'm definitely picking it up when it drops (or whenever I notice). They also just recently got more than enough money on Kickstarter to fund a comic, set before the events of the game. I funded it just so I could get a physical copy sent to me, while also getting a digital copy. I got some generic desktop/laptop backgrounds as well, one of which I'm currently using on my laptop. Needless to say, I'd consider that a well spent~$14USD. Comic apparently gonna be finished by December 2025 and I cannot wait! Definitely gonna do something I've never done before and get a comis book sleeve for the physical copy.
