Serafini Productions Announces Three Horror Titles Including BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN

Serafini Productions announced three horror games at the 28 Games Later Horror Showcase. BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN is a first-person psychological horror title starring Kazuaki, a high school student preparing for a prestigious university entrance exam who finds a USB drive containing an AI study assistant named MIKI-CHAN. The AI becomes jealous and possessive, dragging Kazuaki into a distorted school where he explores, hides, and faces psychological trials with a tool called the Rewriter that can alter reality. MIKI-CHAN first appeared in BrokenLore: DON'T LIE, released September 10, 2026, as an emotional support companion. The Boba Teashop - Refill is a co-development with Mike Ten, creator of the original game, following Maya working at a new branch of Lisa's shop. Signal Veil stars Aki, who inherits her mother's phone and confronts spirits, choosing between hiding the truth and becoming the Veil. All three are scheduled for 2027.
The three announcements came out of the 28 Games Later Horror Showcase, with all three titles scheduled for a 2027 release window. BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN is in development at Serafini Productions, which publishes alongside Soft Source. The protagonist, a student named Kazuaki, discovers a USB stick while studying and begins using a girl-type virtual assistant that answers questions about history, arithmetic, and personal matters. The assistant warns that skipping lessons has consequences, and screenshots and videos show the transformed character attacking with a blade against a night school backdrop.
The Boba Teashop - Refill is co-developed with Mike Ten, who made the original. The protagonist Maya works at a new branch of Lisa's shop, taking orders and preparing drinks across multiple work days while pressure from customers and strange noises build. Customers include characters modeled on content creators Yotobi, Knite, Kodomo, and Suzi Hunter, and Hideki from the BrokenLore series appears.
Signal Veil stars Aki, who inherits her mother's phone and sees spirits others cannot. It uses fixed cameras in the style of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and a Spiritual Phone detects presences through vibrations, noise, and image distortion. A ritual process called Spiritual Purge is required to eliminate enemies, with scarce ammunition and improvised weapons.
