■ What is 'BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH'?

 'BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH' is part of the BrokenLore series, known for its complex storytelling.

Shinji is a young hikikomori, trapped inside his small Tokyo apartment. With unpaid rent, mounting bills, and a family that doesn’t understand him, he feels isolated from the world—and from himself.

His only escape is video games, but even that can’t ease the crushing weight of his anxiety.

You’ll explore Shinji’s mind as it unravels, but be cautious. Hyakume, a malevolent entity with a hundred eyes, is watching, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Your PC is the only link to the outside world. But even there, safety is an illusion…

■ A comment from Sebastiano Serafini, the developer who also sang the ending theme, has arrived!

We are incredibly excited to finally bring our games to consoles. Playing BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH on PlayStation for the first time was an unforgettable experience for me, especially since I grew up with that platform. It felt like a full-circle moment.    

This marks an important step for us, not only with BrokenLore, but also as a commitment to releasing our future titles on console as well. We’re proud of the journey so far and grateful to everyone who believed in the project, from the early demo to today.

 We’re also happy to share that the official soundtrack is now available on Steam. A lot of heart went into creating it, and we hope players will enjoy it as much as we did making it.

 This release, made possible through our collaboration with Shochiku, is just the beginning.
