In addition to announcing Signal Veil, Serafini Productions are returning to the BrokenLore series once again with a brand-new entry releasing next year with first-person psychological horror game BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN. Coming to Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series, the game touches on the current topic of AI and virtual assistants, while putting a new spin on the typical struggle for a girl’s attention, and the unexpected jealousy that arises.

Currently, details on the game are still to come. However, the story for BrokenLore: MIKI-CHAN centres on Kazuaki, a Japanese student determined to pass the entrance exam for Teidai and win over the girl he loves. When he happens upon a mysterious USB stick containing an innovative study support program, he decides to try it, convinced that it can help him. What the USB holds is Miki-chan, a sweet and reassuring virtual assistant. But eventually, something changes, jealousy and possessiveness take over, dragging Kazuaki into a virtual (but still very real) nightmare.

Kazuaki will face psychological challenges that push him to his limits in a world controlled by Miki-chan. However, he has the Rewriter at his disposal, a tool capable of altering reality to attempt to even the playing field and perhaps save him from Miki-chan.

Serafini Productions has teamed up with indie developer Time Hunters for their third-person survival horror game, Signal Veil. Launching for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, the game will feature a strong focus on psychological terror and emotional storytelling, wrapped in a 90s anime-inspired aesthetic.

In Signal Veil, players take on the role of Aki Mizuno, a teenage girl whose mother vanishes without a trace. Aki’s mother has left behind one final gift: an old cellphone that reacts to spirits no one else can see. Coincidentally, Aki’s high school has begun to experience series of disappearances, as well as the appearance of strange creatures born from emotional trauma and hidden memories. It’s up to Aki to investigate these disappearances, all the whiel uncovering the truth about herself within the school.

Taking a cue from Silent Hill‘s radio, Aki’s inherited cellphone vibrates, emits unusual sounds, and displays interference whenever spiritual presences or lingering memories are nearby. Not only does it serve as Aki’s primary tool for detecting enemies before they fully manifest, but is also used for identifying corrupted areas, and revealing clues and signals invisible to the naked eye.

Nishikawa High School is a place where every hallway hides a threat and every resource counts. Medicine, ammo and mystical weapons are scarce, so each fight against the school’s spirits demands strategy over brute force. Aki’s sanity adds another layer. As her mind slips, the world around her shifts, enemies grow more unpredictable and her own fighting becomes more desperate.

In addition to the expected fixed camera angles, inventory management and the limited tactical combat, the visuals of Signal Veil blend the tension of classic survival horror such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a 90s anime aesthetic inspired by psychological horror series like Another and Jujutsu Kaisen.

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.

Despite not making its Q4 2025 release window, developer Horrified Triangles is still plugging away with Haunted Bloodlines. To keep the game on everyone’s radar, the developers have released a brand new cinematic trailer.

Describing itself as channelling the haunted-house dread of Stephen King‘s “Rose Red” with the psychological tension of Hideo Kojima‘s P.T., Haunted Bloodlines is a first-person survival and psychological horror experience that drops players into the eerie depths of an ever-shifting mansion. After the sudden death of your father, you inherit a sprawling estate hidden deep within a dark forest, only to begin questioning your sanity as you uncover disturbing truths about your family’s legacy. Is your bloodline who you believe them to be? And can you face the truth without losing your mind?

The deeper you go, the less the house makes sense. Rooms rearrange themselves. Memories that aren’t yours start to surface. And the further you dig into your family’s past, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real and what the mansion wants you to see.

With no way to defend yourself, your only options are to hide or run. Stay silent, stay hidden, and keep track of the mansion’s shifting layout. You’ll solve puzzles by stepping into the past and move between the living world and its haunted reflection, where each side holds both pieces of the truth and horrors you’d rather not face.

Along with a release on Steam (where you can still check out the demo), Haunted Bloodlines is also in development for the PlayStation 5.

Exactly one year after the release of BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, Serafini Productions has announced another entry in its BrokenLore series with BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY. Coming to PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, DON’T WATCH sees the return of characters from previous entries in the psychological horror anthology.

BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY is a first-person psychological horror game that follows Hideo, a young hikikomori obsessed with video games and the need for recognition. When he receives a mysterious experimental console in the mail, he decides to play it, convinced it could change his life.

But each level brings increasingly unsettling consequences into the real world. His apartment begins to shift, time starts to distort, and something dark slowly emerges as the line between what he plays and what he lives begins to break down.

Across five levels of the mysterious experimental game, each with its own rules, mechanics, and hidden dangers, Hideo is drawn deeper into his obsession. He must survive the consequences in the real world as his apartment slowly transforms after every session.

BrokenLore: DON’T PLAY is part of the BrokenLore saga, a psychological horror anthology where each game is a standalone entry, yet each hides fragments of a deeper truth. Through secrets, environments, and hidden details, every chapter reveals pieces of an unseen narrative, slowly forming the larger mystery known as Elysium.

The BrokenLore saga already includes three released titles available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox: UNFOLLOW, DON’T WATCH and LOW. The next installment, BrokenLore: FOLLOW, is set to be released on June 1st.

For those wondering just when Serafini Productions’ BrokenLore: FOLLOW would finally arrive, you have your answer. The prequel to BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW (which launched back in January) will launch on June 1 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Accompanying the announcement is a brand-new trailer.

FOLLOW is an intense psychological first-person horror experience about Anne, a young woman haunted by her painful past and the inner demons that relentlessly chase her. After waking in her childhood home, Anne begins encountering surreal manifestations of her past memories and experiences. Through different chapters, Anne revisits key locations from her past, relives old memories, and comes to terms with past mistakes and pains, all whilst being pursed by a mysterious, terrifying entity that berates her endlessly.

The game was developed in collaboration with psychologist Emanuela Papa, with the goal of accurately and sensitively representing the challenges of self-acceptance, eating disorders, body dysmorphia and worthlessness. Players will explore the difficult relationship with a mother with an extravagant personality and relive Anne’s bullying she endured from her peers.

Serafini Productions, together with Shochiku Games, have released the latest entry in the BrokenLore series in BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW on PlayStation and Steam. For those on the fence, you can check out the demo for UNFOLLOW on Steam.

“Three years ago, our adventure began with a simple idea: to create a horror game that explored the impact of social media on mental health,” says the news update from Serafini. “It’s been a long journey, and we’re incredibly happy that this day has finally come.”

The BrokenLore series has depicted “modern societal anxiety and the weakness of the human heart” through surreal world-building, symbolic horror expressions, and humanistic storytelling. The latest title, UNFOLLOW, focuses on the darkness of social media, featuring appearances by famous influencers such as Akidearest and Knite.

BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW centres on Anne, a victim of bullying who wakes up trapped in a nightmarish world. As a result, Anne is forced to explore her surroundings and come to terms with her past’s most painful choices. Anne is not alone in this world, however, as a monstrous creature wanders around and follows her every step. The choices you make throughtout UNFOLLOW will lead to one of the game’s multiple endings.

As mentioned, UNFOLLOW delves into social issues, particularly the influence of social media, exploring the intricacies of mental health, body dysmorphia, and the horrors of bullying. The creatures that Anne faces will each symbolize a different trauma experienced by Anne. Coincidentally, emphasis will be placed on Anne’s smartphone, which will serve numerous functions throughout the game.

Meanwhile, Serafini Productions is busy on the next entry in the series with BrokenLore: ASCEND, which is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC this summer.

Serafini Productions had a double dose of news at the Sony State of Play, announcing a January 16 release date for BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW, along with a brand-new title in BrokenLore: ASCEND. BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW will be available in a standard and Deluxe edition, with the latter including the original soundtrack, a customizable pet, an exclusive additional ending, and for PlayStation 5 owners, 24 hour early access to the game ahead of its official launch.

BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW centres on Anne, a victim of bullying who wakes up trapped in a nightmarish world. As a result, Anne is forced to explore her surroundings and come to terms with her past’s most painful choices. Anne is not alone in this world, however, as a monstrous creature wanders around and follows her every step.

The game aims to delve into social issues, particularly the influence of social media, exploring the intricacies of mental health, body dysmorphia, and the horrors of bullying. The creatures that Anne faces will each symbolize a different trauma experienced by Anne. Coincidentally, emphasis will be placed on Anne’s smartphone, which will serve numerous functions throughout the game.

Meanwhile, Serafini Productions followed up on its tease from earlier this year with BrokenLore: ASCEND, coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam next summer. Whereas UNFOLLOW centres on bullying, ASCEND revolves around obsession, fame, and fear.

Ren and Yui are two renowned rooftop climbers obsessed with surpassing their limits and feeding their fame. Their channel, SKYLIMIT, has turned them into icons among fans of illegal urban climbing, leading them to the Elysium Tower — the tallest skyscraper in Japan — for a nighttime ascent. What begins as the ultimate stunt soon spirals into a nightmare. A supernatural entity, the Rokurokubi, emerges to haunt them, a twisted reflection of their deepest terror: becoming forgotten and irrelevant.

Gameplay for ASCEND is a mix of realistic free climbing mechanics and stealth sequences where players must cling to narrow ledges, hide from the Rokurokubi’s gaze, and plan each movement carefully to survive. Every breath, every handhold, every sound could mean life or death. Vertical exploration becomes a psychological and physical ordeal where the player’s endurance mirrors the characters’ mental descent.

Serafini Productions followed up on that tease last month regarding a new BrokenLore title at Tokyo Game Show, announcing BrokenLore: DON’T LIE, which will be published by Wired Productions. No release date was announced for DON’T LIE, but the game will be coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.

BrokenLore: DON’T LIE, a first-person psychological horror game, dives deeper into the fragmented mythology that ties the series together. Despite this, DON’T LIE is a standalone title, allowing for fans familiar with the series and newcomers to experience a new self-contained story full of deceit, paranoia and fear.

The game centers on Junko, who lives trapped inside her small apartment, drifting between loneliness and madness as her fragile reality reaches its breaking point. Lies, hallucinations, and terrifying visions blur the line between what’s real and what’s not, twisting the familiar into disturbing liminal spaces where nothing can be trusted. All the while, Junko attempts to reconnect with two patients in a rehabilitation center. Above all, just remember: DON’T LIE.

Details on gameplay are still forthcoming, but as part of Junko’s attempts to piece together her memories, she must search through the liminal spaces and eerie locations for clues. However, she must also deal with the hallucinations that stalk her. As a result, players will need to rely on stealth and hide in order to survive.

Serafini Productions was busy at The MIX Fall Online Showcase, announcing two new entries in its BrokenLore series, with one being unveiled during Tokyo Game Show next month. The first title, BrokenLore: DARK DAWN, is a first-person psychological horror title currently in development for PC via Steam. No release date has been announced.

The story for BrokenLore: DARK DAWN centres around abduction, human trafficking, and the darkest corners of the dark web, which “converge with psychological terror and hallucinations.” You play as kidnapping victim, forced to confront these dark crimes. But surviving your captors is only the beginning: your own mind may prove to be the deadliest enemy of all.

Time is against you, and every decision you make carries weight. Rest too long, and death may come in your sleep. Act too soon, and you risk being unprepared. You’ll need to scavenge and craft tools to improve your chances of survival. Every resource matters.

As mentioned, even your own mind is one of your obstacles in BrokenLore: DARK DAWN. Potent sedatives drag you into hallucinations that twist the familiar into the grotesque. Neglect your mental health, and panic will take control, putting you into a “Depressive Mode”. In this, dark entities hunt you relentlessly, feeding on your despair until nothing remains.

As for the unannounced BrokenLore title, the game will be presented alongside the latest information about the upcoming BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW, which is slated for release later this year on Steam and the PlayStation 5. In addition to the teaser trailer, Serafini also released three screenshots for the mystery title. This year’s Tokyo Game Show runs September 25 through September 28.

Developer Horrified Triangles with publishers Iphigames and Serafini Productions have a double dose of news for their upcoming first-person psychological horror game Haunted Bloodlines. Not only is there a brand-new demo for the game on Steam, but Haunted Bloodlines now has a Q4 2025 release window for Steam and PlayStation 5.

The completely overhauled demo sports revamped visuals, new mechanics, and smarter enemies, offering a “deeper, more intense” gameplay experience.

Haunted Bloodlines plunges players into a mansion cursed by a legacy of grief, guilt, and madness. As a reluctant heir to a blood-soaked past, you must explore a decaying, ever-shifting estate where nothing is stable, not the rooms, not the timeline, and certainly not your own mind. With no weapons and limited sanity, your survival hinges on instinct, stealth, and unravelling the truth before it consumes you.

“This version of the demo is the closest we’ve come to capturing the full terror of Haunted Bloodlines,” said Giannis Soukoulis, developer at Horrified Triangles. “It’s more immersive and unpredictable. You’re not just walking through a haunted mansion. You’re walking through a memory that wants you dead.”

New to the demo is the ability for players to fend off certain enemies, adding layers of tension and tactical choice. To compensate, enemies now respond with adaptive behaviors, making every encounter more unpredictable. Nearly every asset in Haunted Bloodlines has been rebuilt, as well as the game itself being optimized for smoother gameplay, faster load times, and more stable performance. The game also has a new UI, allowing for a more intuitive interface and visual customization options. Lastly, players will also be able to capture their intense moments via the in-game Photo Mode.

Four months after launching on Steam, Serafini Productions will be bringing BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH to current and last-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles on August 18. The game has been available via the PlayStation Store for wishlisting since its launch on Steam back on April 24.

In BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, players assume the role of Shinji, who is a young hikikomori, a Japanese term for individuals with a form of severe social withdrawal. In this case, Shiji is trapped inside his small Tokyo apartment. With unpaid rent, mounting bills, and a family that doesn’t understand him, he feels isolated from the world—and from himself. His only escape is video games, and his only window to the outside world is his PC. But even those have their limits.

You’ll explore Shinji’s mind as it unravels, which from the trailer, features plenty of eyes in some peculiar places. They’re the least of Shinji’s worries, however. Hyakume, a malevolent entity owner of those eyes, lies waiting for the right moment to strike.

If you haven’t had the chance to check out BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, and don’t quite want to plunk down the funds for it, you can check out the Steam demo.

Previous entries in the series, BrokenLore: LOW and BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW, are also available on Steam.

With two of its BrokenLore entries out now, and the first announced entry in the series in UNFOLLOW due out later this year, developer Serafini Productions has announced that in addition to its release on Steam, UNFOLLOW will see a release on the PlayStation 5. And to tide you over until then, the developer has announced that their “smaller-scale horror experience” Ghost Frequency is now available on Steam.

For those that need reminding, BrokenLore is a fragmented narrative universe in which each game tells a standalone story, yet contributes to a broader puzzle — a “mega-lore” that unfolds gradually, chapter after chapter. Inspired by themes such as personal trauma, identity, and social anxiety, the series blends dreamlike atmospheres, folklore, and psychological introspection to create a truly unique storytelling experience in the horror genre.

With BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW, the story centres on Anne, a victim of bullying who wakes up trapped in a nightmarish world. As a result, Anne is forced to explore her surroundings and come to terms with her past’s most painful choices. Anne is not alone in this world, however, as a monstrous creature wanders around and follows her every step.

As for Ghost Frequency, the game was created in collaboration with Italian ghost-hunting content creators PIT over just a few weeks, and will also be coming to the Nintendo Switch on May 29. This stand-alone title that offers a “deeply immersive, first-person found-footage experience” where players step into the shoes of Mark, a seasoned ghost hunter from PIT. Alongside his colleague Emily, Mark investigates the mysterious disappearance of two teammates in an abandoned location haunted by a sinister presence. Simply put, Mark must survive the night and uncover the mysteries lurking in the shadows.

Originally slated for release this week, Serafini Productions had announced that they’ve pushed the launch of the second entry in their BrokenLore psychological horror series, DON’T WATCH, to April 24th on Steam. However, the game will now features two additional new endings, allowing players to be able to make decisions that will impact the outcome of the game.

The delay was made to “expand the gaming experience,” as well as use the feedback received from BrokenLore: LOW to expand the game. Additionally, players will uncover further connections to the other titles in the series through Elysium Technologies in the game’s secret ending.

The announcement was accompanied by a new teaser for BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, featuring a segment with reimagined graphics (a feature also present in BrokenLore: LOW).

In BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, players will explore the crumbling mind of Shinji, a hikikomori, as he confronts Hyakume, a malevolent entity with a hundred eyes that lurks in the shadows. Isolated from the outside world due to unpaid debts, mounting bills, and a family that doesn’t understand him, Shinji finds his only escape in video games. However, even this distraction fails to alleviate the crushing weight of his anxiety. His personal computer becomes his sole link to the outside world, but safety is only an illusion.

Players who want to try it before launch can check out the free demo available on the game’s Steam page.

Despite the unorthodox approach to its development, Serafini Productions’ psychological horror title BrokenLore: LOW is finally out on Steam. This comes after it was announced as the third entry in the series nine months ago while the other two titles were still in development. Those two titles, DON’T WATCH and FOLLOW, are due out later this year, with DON’T WATCH arriving March 20. A demo for LOW is also available.

Set 20 years before the events of UNFOLLOW, the story for BrokenLore:LOW focuses on a woman named Naomi Montgomery. Set in the remote town of Kirisame Mura (Village of the Mist) in Japan, Naomi arrives in the town for a professional opportunity that promises to launch her music career. However, she soon finds herself facing off against a sinister presence of the village, which in turn is the result of a dark legend that haunts the town, having cursed all of its inhabitants.

Kirisame Mura is designed as a labyrinth with no way out, symbolizing the cycle of wrong decisions and broken destinies faced by Naomi. The game’s structure emphasizes this concept, along with themes of envy, ambition, and failure.

BrokenLore: LOW also features a retro graphical segment, which plays a crucial role in the BrokenLore series. The game was developed in close collaboration with a psychologist to ensure an authentic representation of the themes explored, delving into the psychological impact of the traumatic experiences encountered by the protagonist.

After months of waiting, those wanting to get their hands on Serafini Productions’ BrokenLore: LOW (along with the other upcoming titles in the series) will finally be able to do so next month. BrokenLore: LOW will arrive on PC via Steam on February 21, with DON‘T WATCH and UNFOLLOW releasing in the coming months. Along with the announcement, two trailers have been released, with one focusing on the release date for LOW, and another trailer that focuses on the “retro parts” of the game.

Set 20 years before the events of UNFOLLOW, the story for BrokenLore:LOW focuses on a woman named Naomi Montgomery. Set in the remote town of Kirisame Mura (Village of the Mist) in Japan, Naomi arrives in the town for a professional opportunity that promises to launch her music career. However, she soon finds herself facing off against a sinister presence of the village, which in turn is the result of a dark legend that haunts the town, having cursed all of its inhabitants.

Much like the previous games, LOW will focus on a particular theme. In this case, Kirisame Mura is described as a labyrinth with no exit that symbolizes the cycle of wrong decisions and broken destinies of the protagonist. The structure of LOW “emphasizes this aspect with an environment that subtly repeats and changes, challenging players to find a way to break the cycle as they delve into the story.” Themes of envy, ambition, and failure will be explored.

As mentioned, BrokenLore: LOW also features a retro graphical segment, which plays a crucial role in the BrokenLore series. The game was developed in close collaboration with a psychologist to ensure an authentic representation of the themes explored, delving into the psychological impact of the traumatic experiences encountered by the protagonist.

Also released is a new trailer for FOLLOW, which was announced earlier this year. FOLLOW (which also has a demo available) tells the origin story of UNFOLLOW protagonist Anne, specifically delving into the challenging relationship between a mother and daughter. Much like UNFOLLOW, FOLLOW tackles some heavy themes, focusing on bullying and the protagonist’s struggles with eating disorders. Serafini has enlisted the help of Italian psychologist Emanuela Papa to ensure the themes in the game are “handled with precision.”

Release dates for all of the BrokenLore games haven’t been announced as of yet.

After announcing FOLLOW a few weeks ago, Serafini Productions has announced another project, this time working with Japanese developer TerrorForgeStudios to announce the first-person psychological horror title BLOOD CROSSROAD. As with Serafini’s previously-announced titles, BLOOD CROSSROAD mixes mental health and horror, weaving a dark and twisted narrative that “blurs the lines between man and beast, guilt and shame, addiction and salvation.”

The story concerns a man named William, a man who must deal with his alcoholism and his deepest shame. All the while, he is chased by a mysterious presence from Japanese folklore. Set in a gritty urban landscape full of supernatural elements, the game focuses on William’s struggle for control. Players must confront William’s inner demons while navigating through a labyrinth of dark alleys and haunted memories and uncover William’s connection to this ancient Japanese legend.

Armed with only your wits and a flickering flashlight, you’ll navigate William through a treacherous environment while avoiding the malevolent forces determined to claim your soul. Throughout BLOOD CROSSROAD, players are confronted with the devastating effects of alcoholism on William’s relationships, career, and mental well-being. To break free from the cycle of addiction, William must confront his inner demons and make difficult choices that will determine his fate.

BLOOD CROSSROAD can currently be added to your wishlist on Steam.

With Serafini Productions continuing to work on UNFOLLOW, a natural follow-up to that would be a game called FOLLOW, right? That’s exactly what Serafini are doing, announcing FOLLOW as a new standalone story set in the UNFOLLOW universe.

Going back to the style of the first UNFOLLOW demo with the emphasis on psychological horror over action, FOLLOW tells the origin story of UNFOLLOW protagonist Anne, specifically delving into the challenging relationship between a mother and daughter. Once again, Serafini are tackling some heavy themes, this time focusing on bullying and the protagonist’s struggles with eating disorders. Serafini has enlisted the help of Italian psychologist Emanuela Papa to ensure the themes in the game are “handled with precision.”

Gameplay for FOLLOW will see you explore unsettling environments while solving puzzles as you reconstruct Anne’s troubled story. You’ll once again have to escape from terrifying demons that lurk in the darkness that are relentless in their pursuit of Anne.

The game offers a standalone narrative experience that can be enjoyed independently of UNFOLLOW, and vice versa. Both titles are slated for release in 2024. A closed playtest of the demo will be available later this month, and will be announced on Serafini’s X page.

Serafini Productions introduced us to their upcoming surreal first-person horror gamehorror title UNFOLLOW back in September. The team has followed that up with launching a new demo for UNFOLLOW, which is available now on Steam for you to check out.

“This game is still in the development stage, and some things might still change,” explains Serafini in a press release. “You will see comments posted by users all throughout this demo. Although the users, their names, and their profile pics are real, their comments are purely fictional. These people have been supporting us all through the development of UNFOLLOW by simply following us on social media. Because of the nature and contents of this title, we have decided to include them in the game.”

The devs also dropped a bit of info on the soundtrack, particularly the title track, which was produced by UNFOLLOW producer and composer, Sebastiano Serafini, and singer-songwriter Shorelle. The soundtrack for UNFOLLOW will be available on all major digital stores today.

“We deeply care about the themes of this game and we are overwhelmed by the support you’ve been outpouring. UNFOLLOW keeps getting bigger and bigger, and that’s because of you. We would like to thank those who believed in the project since the beginning and all the players who’ve taken their time to play the first demo. If you want to support us, please add this game to your wishlist and spread the word to your friends.”

The story for UNFOLLOW centres on Anne, a victim of bullying who wakes up trapped in a nightmarish world. As a result, Anne is forced to explore her surroundings and come to terms with her past’s most painful choices. Anne is not alone in this world, however, as a monstrous creature wanders around and follows her every step.

UNFOLLOW is currently planned for release in 2024.

Anne is not alone in this world, however, as a monstrous creature wanders around and follows her every step.

Luckily for Anne, she has familiar face in YouTube star Akidearest, whose videos helped Anne through her toughest days. Akidearest isn’t the only online personality in the cast, as it also includes popular online personalities Knite, Barbascura X, Elisa True Crime, Kin Ryan and more. And with the game having a regional release, the featured cast of social media stars will vary.

If you’re keen on checking out what UNFOLLOW has to offer, there’s currently a demo available on Steam.
