Publisher Shochiku and developer Serafini Productions announced a bigger console release for BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, their Japanese horror game.

BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5 on August 18th – the Xbox and PS4 versions were announced today.

The psychological horror game was originally released for PC (via Steam) back in April 2025.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:

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.
