BrokenLore is a series of Japanese horror adventure games. The introduction to it was BrokenLore: Low, released in February 2025, and over the following months it was followed by other productions under this banner. One of them is BrokenLore: Unfollow, described here, which was developed by Serafini Productions, the studio developing the series.
In BrokenLore: Unfollow we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The production takes us to a nightmarish world overrun by terrifying creatures. Each monster we encounter symbolizes one of the traumas experienced by the main character in the past. In order to survive, we must avoid direct confrontations with them, and when we are spotted, there is usually nothing left to do but run away.
Exploring locations, we collect notes that shed more and more light on the story told in the game, as well as solve puzzles. They involve interacting with selected elements of the environment and searching for objects and using them in a specific way.
An important role is also played by the smartphone, which is equipped with a number of functions. One of them is the counting of observers, which we gain as we progress.
The main character of BrokenLore: Unfollow is Anne, who has experienced harassment and intimidation. Trapped in a nightmarish world, the protagonist must face her painful past.
The story presented in the game deals with such topics as the impact of social media on mental health, trauma and body dysmorphia. Its course and ending are largely determined by our choices.

Game Ratings for BrokenLore: Unfollow Video Game.
Digital Chumps: 7 / 10 by Ben Sheene
BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW admirably delves into the murky evils of topics like social media obsession, bullying, and overbearing parents. Enough genuine psychological scares and clever moments make up for predictable gameplay and unresolved plot threads.
Game8: 70 / 100 by Allisandra Reyes
UNFOLLOW is a competent entry in the BrokenLore franchise, delivering solid storytelling and atmosphere while struggling with gameplay and cohesion. It offers moments of genuine psychological complexity, but predictable mechanics, overused jump scares, and underdeveloped plot threads prevent it from being truly memorable. Fans of the series will find enough to engage with, but those looking for groundbreaking horror may find it uninspired.
Final Weapon: 3.5 / 5 by Saras Rajpal
BrokenLore: Unfollow is a short and sweet horror title all about the ills of social media and parasocial relationships. While it doesn't exactly introduce any bold new ideas and the frequency of jumpscares are a bit infuriating, the great portrayal of a theme that has been done to death, unique concepts in the narrative and gameplay, fun exploration, and replayability make it a great time for any fans of the horror genre.
