Lies of P, the action RPG inspired by the classic Pinocchio tale, throws you into the mechanized city of Krat, a far cry from the quaint village of the original story. This Krat is a decaying hellscape, ravaged by a puppet rebellion and plagued by a mysterious Petrification Disease. You play as Pinocchio, a unique puppet endowed with the ability to lie – a dangerous gift in a world governed by the Grand Covenant that forbids puppets from deception.
Unlike the fairytale Pinocchio, your choices in Lies of P have weight. Telling lies unlocks unique gameplay paths and influences the narrative, leading to three distinct endings. Will you embrace honesty and remain true to your wooden nature, or succumb to the temptation of deception to forge your destiny?
Lies of P draws inspiration from the Soulsborne series, offering challenging combat that demands strategic thinking and precise timing. You'll wield an arsenal of deadly weapons and gadgets, including Pinocchio's signature extendable arm, to battle nightmarish foes – from mechanical monstrosities to mutated humans driven mad by the Petrification Disease.
Lies of P dives deep into the lore of its grim world, uncovering sinister secrets behind the puppet uprising and the enigmatic Petrification Disease. As you navigate Krat's labyrinthine streets and crumbling alleys, you'll encounter survivors clinging to hope, each with their own story to tell. But be wary, not everyone is who they seem, and even Pinocchio's creator, Geppetto, harbors hidden motives.
Lies of P isn't just about brutal combat and dark choices. The world of Krat offers diverse environments to explore, from abandoned workshops teeming with automatons to forgotten gardens choked by vegetation. You'll discover hidden secrets, unlock shortcuts, and uncover valuable resources to upgrade your weaponry and gear.
Pinocchio's core struggle in Lies of P is more than just becoming human. It's about understanding what it truly means to be alive, to defy the limitations of his programming, and to carve his path in a world teetering on the brink of collapse. Will he remain a puppet bound by rules, or will he forge his destiny, even if it means embracing the darkness within?
