Serafini Productions Drops New Trailers for ‘BrokenLore’ Titles ‘DON’T WATCH’ and ‘FOLLOW’ [Video]
Publisher/developer Serafini Productions continues their work on their still-in-development BrokenLore series of games, and has released a new trailer each for two of them in DON’T WATCH and FOLLOW.
In BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH (which has a demo available on its Steam page), 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.
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.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
