If you’re a fan of psychological horror, there’s a new game to keep an eye on. Publisher Wired Productions and developer Serafini Productions have announced that BrokenLore: DON’T LIE will launch on September 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Players can already wishlist the game on Steam, Epic Games, and console storefronts, while a free PC demo is now available exclusively on Steam. The new demo gives players a glimpse into the world of Junko as she attempts to “reconnect with two patients in a rehabilitation center.” Alongside the announcement, the developers showed off a new release date trailer, running for nearly one minute, which gives players another look at the game’s setting. You can watch the trailer here.
If you don’t know much about the game, its description reads: “Step into the life of Junko, a hikikomori whose carefully controlled world begins to unravel as the past resurfaces in ways she can no longer ignore. Raised by a father who was always present but never truly there, Junko learned early to retreat inward. When her few attempts at connection were met with rejection and humiliation, she shut herself away from the outside world. As the boundaries between memory and reality begin to fracture, familiar places transform into reflections of her past. Through exploration, unsettling encounters, and the gradual unravelling of Junko’s story, she must confront the people, experiences, and emotions she has spent years trying to escape before she loses herself completely.”
At the time of writing, the official price for BrokenLore: DON’T LIE has not been announced, as the game is still a few months away from launch. Pre-orders and final pricing typically become available closer to the release date. However, based on the pricing of other indie horror titles in the BrokenLore franchise, DON’T LIE is expected to be priced as an affordable indie game, likely somewhere between $9.99 and $19.99 USD.
