Developer Serafini Productions has announced BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY, the latest entry in their psychological horror series.

BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY is in development for Windows PC (via Steam and the epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5, though a release date wasn’t announced. 

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY is a first-person psychological horror game that follows Hideo, a young hikikomori obsessed with video games and the need for recognition. When he receives a mysterious experimental console in the mail, he decides to play it, convinced it could change his life.

But each level brings increasingly unsettling consequences into the real world. His apartment begins to shift, time starts to distort, and something dark slowly emerges as the line between what he plays and what he lives begins to break down.

Across five levels that draw Hideo deeper into his obsession, BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY takes him on a disturbing psychological descent, exploring themes of alienation, the need for validation, and identity loss.
