About Lies of P
You wake in the city of Krat — a place once thriving, now overtaken by madness and mechanical horrors. As a puppet built by Geppetto, you're guided by a mysterious voice on a journey filled with brutal combat, shifting truths, and the search for identity. Lies of P reimagines the tale of Pinocchio as a dark, action-packed soulslike set in the Belle Époque era. Fight your way through twisted enemies using customizable weapons and Legion Arms, face difficult moral choices that impact the outcome, and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the city's elegant decay.
