Game Spark reports on the demo for BrokenLore: DON'T LIE, the first spin-off in the horror series. The game follows Junko, a character from the acclaimed BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH, through a surreal blend of dreamlike sci-fi and realistic horror. The demo shows Junko navigating a strange facility and experiencing eye-related body horror, setting up a story that recontextualizes events from the previous game.
Junko wakes in a space where cherry blossom trees float in black liquid. The demo for BrokenLore: DON'T LIE opens on a scene that could be dream, memory, or experiment. She moves through a white research facility, past a sliding door, into a space that feels clinical and wrong. There are no jump scares. The fear comes from a rokurokubi chase, a rabbit-masked figure at her door, and the sight of eyes growing across her face in the bathroom mirror. The itchiness she complains of has a source.
The game is the first spin-off in the BrokenLore series. It follows Junko, who appeared in BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH, the game about a hikikomori. That game followed Shinji. This one retells the same events from Junko's side. The demo ends after the mirror scene, leaving the connection between the two stories open. The full release will explain what the monster in DON'T WATCH was and what happened to both characters.
