Psychological horror arrives on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series on September 10th with BrokenLore: Don't Lie. Players can try a new free demo on Steam that follows Junko, a woman suffering from hallucinations induced by her medication. The proposal forces players to distinguish between reality and fiction in an oppressive environment, offering a sample of the final product at no cost to those interested in the genre.
The Technique of Doubt: Graphics Engine and Sound Design 🎮
The game uses Unreal Engine 5 to build detailed environments that subtly shift between states of reality and hallucination. Dynamic lighting and binaural sound design reinforce the character's sensory confusion. The developers have implemented a system of visual and auditory clues that the player must interpret to progress, without clear indicators of what is real. This core mechanic demands constant attention and short-term memory to solve the environment's puzzles.
Medication, Hallucinations, and a Plan to Stay Awake 💊
Junko takes pills and sees strange things. Setting aside medical ethics, it seems like a perfect plan for an afternoon of free anxiety. The demo lets you check if you're one of those who scream at an easy scare or one of those who stare at the screen thinking this is a hallucination, for sure. The best part is, if you decide not to buy the game, at least you'll have saved on therapy.
