Lies of P - PlayStation 5

Inspired by the timeless tale of Pinocchio, Lies of P is an action souls-like game that transports players into a haunting Belle Époque world. As the puppet protagonist P, players are tasked with navigating the labyrinthine streets of the devastated city of Krat. Here, they must craft weapons from the materials they discover and interact with the few survivors who have managed to endure in this dystopian landscape. The unique mechanic of the game is that the more untruths P tells, the closer he comes to human form, with all the benefits and drawbacks this transformation brings. This game offers players the opportunity to make significant narrative choices and experience a deeply customizable character progression system as they steer P on his relentless quest to attain humanity.

The core of the combat system lies in the wielding and mastering of a variety of weapons, each offering unique combinations of Fable Arts and Legion Arms. This allows players to discover a combat style that aligns with their individual preferences. The game offers a diverse range of attractions, inviting players to immerse themselves in the beautiful, yet somber atmosphere of the Belle Époque era and explore the once-thriving city of Krat.

The lie system is a standout feature of Lies of P. P, despite being constructed from a puppet’s heart, learns to emulate human thought and emotion through the act of lying. This innovative mechanic adds a layer of complexity to the gameplay and narrative, challenging players to navigate the moral implications of their actions.

The game pays homage to the classic story of Pinocchio, with the city of Krat, its characters, and even the smallest objects reflecting a deep admiration for the original tale. This connection to a beloved literary work adds a layer of depth and familiarity to the game, inviting players to explore a world that is at once new and nostalgically familiar.
