Neowiz and developer Round8 Studio, the same team behind Bless Unleashed, has just announced Lies of P, a new Souls-like action RPG inspired by the classic Italian novel, Pinocchio. The game is described as a dark baroque take on the story. The announcement of Lies of P comes with a story trailer that paints a hauntingly dark picture of the narrative.
Players take on the role of puppet mechanoid Pinocchio and need to navigate a world obliterated by a plague, where all humanity is lost. The game is set in a city called Krat. Once beautiful, but now a living hell.
Your goal is to find the whereabouts of the famed Mr. Geppetto. As you will know from the original story, and the hints dropped in the trailer, Geppetto is Pinocchio’s creator. Finding your maker is key to unraveling the mystery of what happened to Pinocchio and the world.
“To us, Pinocchio has always been a grimly dark tale of the lies we tell to get by in a world that’s not always black and white,” said Jiwon Choi, the director of development for Lies of P. “It’s definitely a version of this classic story that you’ve never seen before.”
