  • Review Lies of P (PS5) - No Fibs Found in This Souls-Like Great

    Woodborne

    Lies of P is a game that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Made by South Korean team Round8 Studio, it feels like the product of a developer taking its second or even third swing at the Souls-like formula. It puts the majority of other titles inspired by Dark Souls to shame, yet the only other game to the name of Round8 Studio is an...

Lies of P News

  • News Like Clockwork, Lies of P Will Be Enhanced on PS5 Pro

    Tick, tock

    Developer Round 8 Studios has confirmed that Lies of P will join the growing list of PS5 Pro-enhanced games, although the exact specifications remain to be seen. Presumably, it will be similar to the ones enjoyed by other upgraded games, if not quite to the level of something like Sony's own God of War:

  • News Become Geppetto's Puppet with Official Lies of P Merchandise

    "You troublesome little puppet"

    It's hard to believe it's been an entire year since Lies of P came into our lives, injecting some hard truths into the increasingly stale Soulslike scene. If you've been missing the mean streets of Krat, perhaps you'd be interested in Neowiz's official line of merchandise. It offers shirts, hats, records, and a...

  • News Lies of P Sequel Jumping Straight to Elden Ring, Neowiz Seeks Open World Experience

    In the belly of the beast

    Lies of P emerged fully formed into a world full of Soulslikes and, even then, still managed to stand out. It should be no surprise that developer Neowiz is working on a sequel, as the game thankfully sold quite appreciably, too. Still, the studio looks like it will jump several stages on the FromSoftware evolutionary...

  • News Two of PS5's Best Soulslikes Join Forces Once Again in Another Collab

    Lies of P and Wo Long cross streams

    In case you didn't know, Soulslike titles Lies of P and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty are best mates. They collaborated once before, with a pair of weapons, 'Puppet's Saber' and 'Etiquette', being added to Team Ninja's action RPG for free. Now, it looks like the games are crossing paths once again. It looks as though...

  • Game of the Year #7 - Lies of P

    Sweet little lies

    Lies of P is one of 2023's most pleasant surprises. It's a twisted take on the classic tale of Pinnochio, incorporating elements made famous by FromSoftware's Dark Souls series. Korean newcomer Neowiz Games knocked it out of the park with its debut, delivering some competent competition and the closest thing to a Bloodborne...

  • News Lies of P DLC Under Construction, Just Like Clockwork

    We swear

    Dark fantasy Pinnochio-like Lies of P launched last month, and we really enjoyed our time with it. Now, it seems another morsel is on the way, according to a job listing from developer Neowiz itself. Spotted by Okami Games on Twitter, the developer confirmed the DLC was in production via a job posting on its own website, which brazenly...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Lies of P?

    No lying, please

    It feels like Lies of P has managed to stand out in an increasingly bloated subgenre. Souls-likes are everywhere these days, and developers know that they need to craft something pretty special if their project is to compare favourably to FromSoftware's elite action RPGs. South Korea's Round8 Studio should pat itself on the back,...

  • News Lies of P's Latest PS5, PS4 Update Makes Life Easier, That's No Lie

    Pinky promise

    Lies of P is a Souls-like in the tradition of FromSoftware's greats, but one which has carved out a place of its own with an impressive commercial showing (we thought it was great, too). This subgenre is infamous for the exacting nature of its difficulty, but things have actually been dialled back quite substantially in the game's most...

  • Poll Are You Playing Lies of P?

    It's apparently P good

    Lies of P is out now on PS5 and PS4, and it already seems to have struck a chord with action afficionados. Thanks to an unsettling puppet-packed backdrop and some great combat encounters, this newest Souls-like stands out in an ocean of FromSoftware-inspired titles. "Lies of P feels like the result of a developer having...

  • News Fibs Start to Pile Up in Lies of P's Cinematic PS5 Gamescom Trailer

    How many lies would you tell?

    Announced back in 2021, it feels like we've been waiting on edgy Soulslike Lies of P forever, but we're in the homestretch now. The gritty take on the classic tale of Pinnochio will finally release on PS5 and PS4 on 19th September, and we got a cinematic trailer to tide us over in the meantime. Channelling elements of...

About The Game

Lies of P is a thrilling soulslike that takes the story of Pinocchio, turns it on its head, and sets it against the darkly elegant backdrop of the Belle Epoque era.

You are a puppet created by Geppetto who’s caught in a web of lies with unimaginable monsters and untrustworthy figures standing between you and the events that have befallen the world of Lies of P.

You are awakened by a mysterious voice that guides you through the plagued city of Krat - a once lively place that has been poisoned by madness and bloodlust. In our soulslike, you must adapt yourself and your weapons to face untold horrors, untangle the unfathomable secrets of the city's elites and choose whether to confront predicaments with the truth or weave lies to overcome them on the journey to find yourself.

・ A DARKLY ELEGANT AND CRUEL WORLD

Unearth the secrets of the city of Krat – a place soaked in the style of the Belle Epoque era which once thrived due to its puppet industry and now sees its streets covered in blood.

・BATTLE WITH TWISTED INSTRUMENTS

Develop a unique combat style to counter vicious enemies and terrain by weaving together dynamic weapon combinations, utilizing the Legion Arms, and activating new abilities.

・WHAT’S IN A LIE?

There will be times when you will be confronted with choices where you can give comfort to others in sorrow or despair by lying…or you can choose to tell the truth.

Carve your own path.

・A CLASSIC REIMAGINED

Experience the beloved fairy tale of Pinocchio reinterpreted as a dark, grim narrative that allows players to discover the secrets and symbols hidden within the world of Lies of P.
