A True Portrait of Social Fear

The protagonist is a hikikomori — crushed by bills, misunderstood by family. The Hyakume morphs into familiar faces — real-life pressure scares more than the supernatural. Hugged myself after playing — deeply haunting.

Don't Look, Just Run

The most unique horror mechanic ever: look the monster in the eye and you die. Covering your eyes and fleeing beats any jump scare.

My cabinet moved.

This game focuses on psychological horror and atmospheric horror, without any combat. The horror atmosphere is pretty well done—it's really intense and scary. The story is a bit abstract, and the gameplay isn't long. If you like it, you can give it a try.

Acrophobes Beware

Walls covered in eyes throughout the apartment — the bursting blood when you stab an eye looks disturbingly real. Short but packed with creative ideas and gripping atmosphere. Not to be missed.

unbearable to look at directly

The process is relatively short. But the horror atmosphere is decent. That guy, O'Neas, kept screaming as he chased me in that maze-like house, which really stressed me out

Intimate Psychological Horror

This brilliant first-person psychological horror dives into a shut-in's inner struggles, vividly showing a social anxiety sufferer's trouble stepping out.With no cheap jump scares, its great sound design, voice acting and tense soundtrack build overwhelming dread. Gameplay is simple: flee enemies, no complex fights.The pixel world you enter while escaping the eye monster is the protagonist's mind made real. Slow in reality, he's fast here — a clever nod to modern lonely people's mental state.

Pure paranoia! Such a tense and unsettling experience

I was practically holding my breath the entire time playing this game! The sense of claustrophobia and isolation it builds inside that tiny Tokyo apartment is absolutely insane. It does an incredible job of making you feel completely cut off from the world while making you feel like you are never truly alone. The whole concept of "being watched" by the hundred-eyed entity, Hyakume, is executed so well. Every corner of the room starts to feel unsafe, and even looking at the computer screen gives you this constant, lingering sense of dread. The game nails the psychology of extreme anxiety and paranoia, turning it into a truly terrifying horror experience. If you love psychological horror that gets under your skin and makes you check over your shoulder in your own room, you absolutely have to play this. It is a fantastic, deeply unsettling ride from start to finish!

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…
