‘’‘Lies of P’‘’ is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by Round8 Studio and published by NEOWIZ. It is inspired by the classic story of ‘’Pinocchio‘’, but set in a dark and cruel Belle Époque world. The game follows Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid who wakes up in an abandoned train station in Krat, a city overrun by madness and violence. He receives a note that tells him to find Mr. Geppetto, who is somewhere in the city. Along his journey, he must fight against hostile puppets and humans, lie to survive and become human, and uncover the secrets of Krat and his own origin.

Gameplay
The game features a deep combat system that allows players to combine different weapons and skills, as well as customize Pinocchio’s body parts to gain new abilities. The game also has a dynamic quest system that changes depending on how players lie to other characters. The lies can have consequences on the story and lead to multiple endings. The game’s visual concept is based on the Belle Époque era in Europe (late 19th century to early 20th century), with a contrast between elegance and horror.

Development
The Lies of P was announced on February 18th 2023 at IGN Fan Fest with a teaser trailer. It is scheduled to be released on August 2023 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
