Lies of P Teases First Look at Gameplay

Lies of P is an upcoming baroque-styled action RPG. Drawing inspiration from Pinocchio, the latest trailer shows off the ruined, but once decadent, city of Krat. P must find Mr. Geppetto to undo Krat’s tragic state, as hideous twisted machines and automatons prowl the streets.

Throughout the trailer, one can spot the counter-attack mechanic, which will be important to P’s success. There are also various weapons to find and wield. Even P’s own arm can manifest as a tool or weapon, such as a grappling hook. As P, the player will interact with Krat’s last surviving citizens. As P lies, he becomes more and more human. That comes with advantages and disadvantages. People bleed, after all. Puppets don’t. With narrative choice and customizable progression, there are myriad RPG features to tweak in Lies of P.

More information will appear at G-STAR, which takes place in Busan, South Korea. G-STAR is an event that runs from November 17 to 21. Learn more about the game and trade show on its official website. Players wanting to follow the development should watch the official website for the latest news. It appears that another video will come in the near future. You can also Wishlist and follow Lies of P on Steam. Developed by Round8 Studio, NEOWIZ will publish the game upon its full release. At the moment, its current release date is unknown.
