In an ever-bloating sub-genre of video games, what can Lies of P offer to stand out from the crowd of Souls-like games?

Instead, it’s Lies of P’s obvious Soulsborne influence – complete with direct, sometimes mirror image comparisons to Bloodborne – that is turning heads. Twisting a childhood fable such as Pinocchio into something murky and macabre isn’t an entirely new concept no, children’s stories often flirt with darkness. Some footage shows him with mechanical arms, no doubt handy in both traversal and combat.South Korean developer and publisher Neowiz created quite a stir with the release of Lies of P’s gameplay trailer last month. Since Pinocchio himself is a puppet rather than a human, it means he can replace and upgrade body parts on a whim. The Gamescom 2022 footage shows off plenty of boss battles, against enemies ranging from human-spider hybrids to monsters made of steel. In terms of gameplay, Lies of P looks to go down the soulslike formula. Pinocchio must traverse across the murky city of Krat to find him and finally become human.

After arriving alone in the ravaged city of Krat, he has one goal: to find his maker Geppetto. You play as Pinocchio, a humanoid puppet constantly striving to become human. Developed by Neowiz, the game adapts the original Pinocchio story from Italian writer Carlo Collodi. That's alongside a look at some huge boss battles and eerie villains you'll face on your quest to find Geppetto. The trailer showcases our main character, a much more lifelike version of Pinocchio with the ability to extend his nose by lying.
