BrokenLore

The BrokenLore series is expanding with a spin-off, BrokenLore: DON'T LIE, and a second in-house title, BrokenLore: ASCEND, both of which will have demos at Steam Next Fest in June 2026.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 7m ago

Serafini Productions is broadening the BrokenLore horror series with two new titles. The spin-off BrokenLore: DON'T LIE shifts perspective to Junko, a secondary character from the original BrokenLore: DON'T WATCH. A demo released in May 2026 shows Junko navigating a strange facility and experiencing eye-related body horror, blending dreamlike sci-fi with realistic horror. The story recontextualizes events from the previous game, expanding the series beyond its original hikikomori theme.

Alongside the spin-off, Serafini Productions will release a demo for BrokenLore: ASCEND during Steam Next Fest, June 15-22. Both BrokenLore: ASCEND and BrokenLore: DON'T LIE are in-house titles. The company is also taking on a publishing role, bringing two other horror games-The Hambagu Shop and Antichrist-to the same event. All four games are planned for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
