The game is a first-person walking simulator and a spin-off of 2024\u0026#39;s BrokenLore: DON\u0026#39;T WATCH. It follows Junko, a young woman who has lived as a hikikomori in her room for years. Her isolation, drug dependence, and fractured relationships blur reality into nightmare. Players examine objects like remote controls and doors to advance the story. Enemies include a approaching monster and a man in a rabbit mask. When Junko looks in a mirror, eyes appear on her face and hands. To cope, she plays a retro-style 2D action game called Fantasy Boy, which the player can also control. The store page warns: \u0026#39;Don\u0026#39;t believe what you see... Don\u0026#39;t believe what you hear... Above all, don\u0026#39;t lie.\u0026#39; The game launches on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, plus PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. A demo is already on Steam. In-game text will support Japanese.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"BrokenLore: Don't Lie swaps the series' found-footage setup for a locked-room nightmare.

The series leaves behind the found-footage public spaces of Don't WATCH for a smaller, more intimate kind of dread, the room itself becomes the monster.
