The Mischievous Puppet's Outfit: A Second Chance at an Exclusive

What Is Lies of P? Setting, Inspiration, and Gameplay

Developed by Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio, Lies of P is a Soulslike action game that offers a dark, grim reimagining of Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio . It is set in the fictional, decaying city of Krat, a once-thriving metropolis now overrun by murderous puppets. The city's architecture and aesthetic are heavily inspired by the Belle Époque era in France .

Players control P, Geppetto's puppet, as he fights his way through the city on a relentless journey to find his creator and become human . The gameplay features classic Soulslike elements such as precise timing, grueling boss encounters, and a deep lore woven into the environment . A key mechanic is the ability to lie, which directly impacts the story and its multiple endings .

Original Launch Platforms & History

Lies of P first launched in September 2023 for PC (via Steam and Microsoft Store), macOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S . Its Steam release date was September 18, 2023 . The game was critically and commercially successful, surpassing four million units sold by March 2026 .

Its first major expansion, "Overture," launched on June 6, 2025 .
