Lies of P is a soulslike video game developed by Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio, and published by Neowiz Games. The game was released on September 19, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, MacOS, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.[1][2][3] The game is loosely based on the 1883 Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.
Lies of P received generally positive reviews from critics.
Lies of P is played from a third-person perspective. The player controls the humanoid Pinocchio and travels on foot through the city of Krat, exploring the environment and fighting various biomechanical enemies. Pinocchio uses an arsenal of weapons such as swords and axes against his enemies and can dodge and block their blows. Pinocchio has a mechanical arm that can be equipped with gadgets, such as a grappling hook to lure enemies or a flamethrower. The weapon and crafting system offers 30 different weapon types with 100 combinations. The game features a "Lying System", where the decisions the player makes during certain passages affect the course of events, leading to three different endings.[4]
