Lies of P - Let's Play Part 18: Corrupted Puppet Master
0Inspired by Carlo Collodi's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, Lies of P tells the story of Pinocchio, a robotic puppet who differs from other puppets in his ability to lie, which plays a role during important story decisions.
Puppets were invented in the city of Krat thanks to the discovery of a revolutionary power source called Ergo underneath it. Puppets soon became ubiquitous throughout the city, performing menial labour for the populace. Foremost among puppet inventors is both Lorenzini Venigni and the legendary Geppetto, who created Pinocchio. In order to ensure that puppets would not be a threat, they were bound to the Grand Covenant, which forbids them from lying or attacking humans. However, despite this, one day they revolt and slaughter most of Krat's human population. Puppets have their own language, which consists of blurred English text that becomes visible during boss fights against enemy puppets.
Krat also suffers from the mysterious and incurable Petrification Disease, which blinds its victims before petrifying and killing them. It can also mutate them into hideous monsters.
