Lies of P is a thrilling soulslike that takes the story of Pinocchio, turns it on its head, and sets it against the darkly elegant backdrop of the Belle Epoque era.
Developed by NEOWIZ · Published by NEOWIZ
You play as a puppet created by Geppetto, awakened in the afflicted city of Krat and guided through its streets as you investigate the disaster and confront its monsters and untrustworthy inhabitants. The game reimagines Pinocchio as a dark action RPG set in a Belle Époque-inspired world.
Combat centers on timing attacks, dodges, blocks and perfect guards against enemies and bosses. You can assemble many weapons by combining blades and handles, and use customizable Legion Arms to add different combat options.
Explore connected routes through Krat, meet characters and uncover the city’s secrets. Choices to tell the truth or lie shape your path; character stats, weapon upgrades and P-Organ improvements let you develop your combat approach.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often praise the precise, learnable combat, especially perfect guards and experimenting with assembled weapons, alongside memorable boss fights. Many also enjoy Krat’s Belle Époque-inspired atmosphere, music and art direction, and find the Pinocchio-based story engaging and easier to follow than some genre peers. Others criticize the linear routes and demanding guard timing or delayed enemy attacks, and opinions on difficulty and combat vary.
