BrokenLore: Low

BrokenLore: Low is a psychological horror game set in Kirisame-mura, a Japanese village haunted by the Gashadokuro, a giant skeleton from Japanese folklore. You play as Naomi Montgomery, who arrives for a professional opportunity that could launch her music career, but encounters sinister presences and the village’s cursed secrets. Her story moves through time and memory and lays the groundwork for the events of BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW.

The village’s legend

A dark legend gradually comes to light. At the center of Kirisame-mura once stood an ancient temple, now disappeared; it was the site of a tragedy that cursed all the village’s inhabitants. The village’s circular, claustrophobic paths form a labyrinth with no exit, reflecting a cycle of wrong decisions and broken destinies.

Break the cycle

The environment subtly repeats and changes as you explore, challenging you to find a way to break the cycle of tragic events. The story explores envy, ambition and failure, while the game’s loop structure represents the events’ relentless repetition.

Visual elements

The game combines realistic graphics with low-poly segments in specific parts. Its statues are works by Italian sculptor Bruno Lucchi, and the game was developed in collaboration with a psychologist to bring care and sensitivity to its subject matter.
