Lies of P is an upcoming Souls-like game based on the story of Pinocchio. I'm not even joking here. The development team at Round8 Studio and publisher NeoWiz say that this is a game where you will play as Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid, on a quest to find Mr. Geppetto.
The story is inspired by Pinocchio and is "an action souls-like game set in a cruel, dark Belle Époque world." According to the story synopsis, humanity is lost and the world is now "a living hell filled with screams." One of the key hooks of the game is the fact that "you must always lie to others to become human."
What you do and what you say as the main character will dynamically affect the gameplay. The game's first trailer, seen below, will serve as a prologue to the game's story. It is also narrated by a character that isn't the main protagonist.
Lies of P is looking to be released in 2023 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Steam), Google Stadia, and xCloud.
