Lies of P

What it’s like

Lies of P delivers a visceral, high-stakes action RPG experience set in the decaying, Belle Époque-inspired city of Krat. As Pinocchio, you navigate a world of madness and bloodlust, driven by the urgent need to find Geppetto while grappling with the moral weight of deception. The combat is tight, punishing, and deeply satisfying, emphasizing precise timing, weapon customization, and strategic use of the mechanical arm. The atmosphere is thick with gothic horror and steampunk aesthetics, creating a visually stunning and mood-heavy environment that rewards exploration. While the narrative explores themes of humanity, truth, and identity through branching choices, the true strength lies in its refined gameplay loop. The game offers substantial depth through build variety and challenging encounters, though it occasionally suffers from pacing issues and technical polish inconsistencies that can disrupt immersion.
