What is "BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH"?

BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH is part of the BrokenLore series with a complex storyline.

Shinji, a young man holed up in a small apartment in Tokyo, was unable to pay his rent, was overwhelmed by ever-increasing bills, and was troubled by a family that did not understand him. Gradually he began to feel isolated from the world and from himself.

The only thing he enjoys doing is playing video games. But even that does nothing to ease his anxiety.

You, the player, enter Shinji's crumbling mental world. There, Hyakume, an evil entity with a hundred eyes, is staring at you, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Your laptop is your only connection to the outside world. There is no guarantee that it will reveal the truth, or that it will be too late, or that you will return safely…

• A comment from the developer has arrived!

This game is very emotional for me - it is a tribute to those who were passionate about the

BrokenLore series, and a memorial to those who have unfortunately already passed away.

Like our upcoming film, BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW, it explores the themes of social anxiety and depression, not from a social media perspective, but through a reflection on the pressures of modern society. Cyndi's journey reflects the quiet struggles that people face today. Namely, the pressure to meet society's expectations, family comparisons, and immersion in video games as a means of escape.

One very personal element is the ending theme song. I was given the honor of writing the lyrics and music for this song and singing it myself. Music has always been a part of my identity and performing the final song was a truly meaningful experience.

DON'T WATCH is a stand-alone story, but it is also an important component of the vast world of the BrokenLore series. This is just the beginning, and we promise to continue to expand the BrokenLore universe through future titles already in development.
