BrokenLore: Unfollow

About BrokenLore: Unfollow

BrokenLore: Unfollow is a surreal horror adventure game by Serafini Productions that dropped in January 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox. You play Anne, a teenager trapped in a silent house haunted by a creature and forced to confront her past. The game weaves bullying, social media toxicity, and mental health struggles into a creepy narrative. It’s not a jump-scare fest, more of a slow-burn psychological thriller with moments of tense escape. The story tangles real-world issues with supernatural elements, featuring influencers like Akidearest and Kin Ryan as characters. If you like methodical exploration and bleak themes, this is your speed.

Gameplay

You navigate Anne’s house room by room, solving environmental puzzles to unlock progress while avoiding a faceless, relentless creature. The game uses first-person controls with light stealth mechanics, you can’t fight the monster, only hide or sprint past it. Puzzles often involve deciphering cryptic messages or rearranging objects to unlock doors. The house feels claustrophobic, with flickering lights and distorted audio cues. Sessions blend quiet introspection with sudden bursts of panic when the creature is near. It’s not fast-paced, but the tension comes from pacing and atmosphere. The game doesn’t hold your hand, so trial-and-error is common.

What Players Think

PlayPile users gave it a 78% user rating but only 65% completion rate, with 5.2 hours average playtime. Community moods are split: 34% “creepy,” 28% “thoughtful,” 22% “frustrated.” Reviewers praised the “creepy atmosphere that lingers” but criticized “uninspired puzzles.” One player called it “a haunting take on social media’s toll,” while another griped, “the creature AI is too predictable after 30 minutes.” Achievements include “The Silent Escape” (finish the game) and “Echoes of the Past” (collect all memory fragments). 43% of players got stuck on the “locked hallway puzzle” in Chapter 3.

PlayPile's Take

BrokenLore: Unfollow is a niche pick for fans of slow-burn horror and social commentary. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier purchase with 13 achievements (295 points). The themes are bold but the execution is uneven, puzzles lag, and the creature’s behavior grows stale. If you want a game that lingers in your head more than it challenges you, it’s worth a try. But if you crave polish or action, skip it. The $10 discount during its first sale cycle in March 2026 might justify the risk.
