About the Game
DON'T WATCH is a first-person psychological horror game from the intricate BrokenLore series.
Shinji is a young hikikomori, trapped inside his small Tokyo apartment. With unpaid rent, mounting bills, and a family that doesn’t understand him, he feels isolated from the world—and from himself.
His only escape is video games, but even that can’t ease the crushing weight of his anxiety.
You’ll explore Shinji’s mind as it unravels, but be cautious. Hyakume, a malevolent entity with a hundred eyes, is watching, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Your PC is the only link to the outside world. But even there, safety is an illusion…

She made many attempts at connection throughout her early years, and always felt pushed to the side by her father. This made exile feel like the only choice.Junko's coping mechanisms throughout her solitude involve a close companionship with her AI bestie Miki-chan and continuous playthroughs of her favourite video game Fantasy Boy.Play the game on September 10th:Miki-chan's companionship has had a profound effect on Junko's ability to connect with those around her. As Miki-chan is an AI created companion, she has learned all of Junko's quirks, therefore knows exactly how to provide the support and connection that Junko wants.Even if that doesn't match what she actually needs.DON'T PLAY (Currently in Development) - HideoMeet Hideo, a young hikikomori desperate for appreciation from those around him. Hideo shares the same comforts in video games as both Shinji and Junko, but for him it soon becomes an unhealthy obsession.Video games are a major part in how Hideo fulfills his need for recognition, therefore he will spend hours climbing the leaderboards.
