‘The Backrooms: Lost Tape’ Finds Its Way to PlayStation 5 Today [Trailer]
If you haven’t gotten your fill of Backrooms games yet after the success of the Kane Parsons film, Cortez Productions and Perp Games are here to fix that, launching The Backrooms: Lost Tape today on PlayStation 5. Originally released on Steam back in 2022, The Backrooms: Lost Tape ushers you back, quite literally, into the movie theatre.
Separated into two chapters (tapes), you’ll first play as an usher, Josh, who accidentally falls into the Backrooms. As you explore, you will be desperately trying to unravel the mysteries of the intertwined, sprawling yellow rooms to find any means of escape. Each empty space may not be as empty as it seems… malevolent entities stand in your way of freedom.
With the second tape, in an intense mission to find out what happened to Josh, more of the haunting story starts to unfold. Take a deeper dive into the unsettling and eerie world as Nikolas, as this chapter introduces its own unique challenges. Will Nikolas ever discover its secrets and find out what happened to Josh?
The PlayStation 5 release of The Backrooms: Lost Tape coincides with a major update for the Steam version, which has seen the game upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.6. That also entails updated visuals, full controller support, and various bug fixes.

‘BrokenLore: DON’T LIE’ Launches September 10 on PC, Consoles; Steam Demo Available Now [Trailer]
After announcing a release window for BrokenLore: DON’T LIE last September, Serafini Productions and publisher Wired Productions have announced that the game will launch a this September 10 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. And with Steam Next Fest in full swing, you can check out the brand-new demo for the game now.
A Japanese psychological horror experience inspired by themes of isolation, trauma, and fractured memory, BrokenLore: DON’T LIE places players in the role of Junko, a hikikomori whose carefully controlled world begins to collapse as long-buried memories resurface.
Junko withdrew from the outside world years ago. Now, as reality begins to distort around her, familiar places become twisted reflections of her past, forcing her to confront the people, experiences, and emotions she has spent her life trying to escape.
“At Wired Productions, we’ve built a reputation for publishing distinctive horror experiences that stay with players long after the credits roll” says Wired Productions Co-founder and Managing Director Leo Zullo. “BrokenLore: DON’T LIE is an exploration of isolation, memory, and self-deception that creates an experience which feels deeply human while remaining profoundly disturbing.”
Featuring Japanese voice acting throughout, BrokenLore: DON’T LIE combines exploration, investigation, psychological tension, and shifting realities as players uncover the truth hidden within Junko’s memories. As an unseen presence begins to watch and react to her actions, every discovery brings her closer to truths she may not be ready to face.
