Lies of P is the gothic retelling of Pinocchio that we didn’t know we needed.
Released on September 18th 2023, this game by NEOWIZ has been met with a very warm reception. Featuring souls-like gameplay and a familiar but twisted tale, Lies of P brings a lot to the table. We’ll be taking a closer look at the gameplay, specs, and then recommending five of the best PCs available at Overclockers UK to play this instant classic. You know your nose will get bigger if you say you don’t want to read on.
Lies of P Gameplay
Set in the city of Krat, you play as a puppet built by Geppetto, entangled in a web of lies. This once beautiful city has been poisoned by madness and bloodlust, and you must adapt to survive the untold horrors if you ever want to get to the bottom of it all. Confront them with the truth, or weave more lies, all in the name of finding yourself.
There are many secrets to unearth and vicious monsters to encounter. Develop your own unique combat style, utilising dynamic weapon combinations, activating new abilities, and deploying the Legion Arms – an impressive piece of kit attached to your arm. It can be used for dropping bombs, defence, and more depending on the style you have equipped. The diverse roster of monsters won’t stand a chance!
Lies of P x Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty DLC
A free DLC will be available to play from February 14th 2024. A cheeky Valentine’s present, if we ever saw one! This new content has been made in collaboration between Lies of P and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
With this update comes new weapons, costumes, and more goodies. Plus, anyone playing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition now use weapons from Lies of P. We do love a good crossover!
Lies of P Platforms
Lies of P is available to play on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
It is a single-player adventure, but the beautiful Belle Epoque styling is just begging to be streamed!
