Step into the life of Junko, a hikikomori whose carefully controlled world begins to unravel as the past resurfaces in ways she can no longer ignore.

Raised by a father who was always present but never truly there, Junko learned early to retreat inward. When her few attempts at connection were met with rejection and humiliation, she shut herself away from the outside world.

As the boundaries between memory and reality begin to fracture, familiar places transform into reflections of her past. Through exploration, unsettling encounters, and the gradual unravelling of Junko's story, she must confront the people, experiences, and emotions she has spent years trying to escape before she loses herself completely.

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.

Wired Productions and Japanese Studio Serafini Productions today announced that BrokenLore: Don't Lie, will launch on September 10, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Ahead of launch, players can play a brand-new demo, available today as part of Steam Next Fest. 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. 

"At Wired Productions, we've built a reputation for publishing distinctive horror experiences that stay with players long after the credits roll" said Leo Zullo, Co-found and Managing Director at Wired Productions. "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."
