‘BrokenLore: DON’T LIE’ Announced for 2026 Release on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
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.
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
