If the likes of the Demon’s Souls Remake and Elden Ring weren’t enough for Soulsborne fans, it looks like we have yet another upcoming title in the subgenre to look forward to.
Built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 4 for PC and consoles, Lies of P is an Action RPG inspired by the classic Italian novel Pinocchio from Carlo Collodi, created by South Korean developer Round8 Studio and published by NEOWIZ.
According to the description on the game’s Steam page:
Lies of P is an action souls-like game set in a cruel, dark Belle Époque world. All of humanity is lost in a once beautiful city that has now become a living hell filled with unspeakable horrors.
Play as Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid, and fight through everything in your path to find this mystery person. But don’t expect any help along the way and don’t make the mistake of trusting anyone.
You must always lie to others if you hope to become human. Lies of P offers an elegant world filled with tension, a deep combat system, and a gripping story. Guide Pinocchio and experience his unrelenting journey to become human.
Some of the game’s features include:
A Dark Fairytale Retold
The timeless tale of Pinocchio has been reimagined with dark and striking visuals. Set in the fallen city of Krat, Pinnochio desperately fights to become human against all odds.
Visual Concept
The city of Krat was inspired by the Belle Époque Era in Europe (late 19th Century to the early 20th Century) and is the epitome of a collapsed city bereft of prosperity.‘Lying’ Quests and Multiple Endings
Experience interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie. These choices will then affect how the story ends.Weapon-Making System
You can combine weapons in a multitude of ways to create something new altogether. Research to find the best combinations and make something truly special.
Special Skill System
With Pinocchio being a doll, you can change parts of his body to gain new skills and hopefully an edge in battle. But not all of the enhancements are for fighting though, they can also provide several other unique and useful features.
More details about the story and features of Lies of P will be revealed at this year’s G-STAR video game trade show in Busan, South Korea from November 17th to 21st. For more info, stay tuned to the official website for more information in the weeks ahead.
