Action in the Lies Of P gameplay trailer.

It has been a long damn year, so I’d forgotten that people were making a grim Soulslike video game based on Pinocchio. Oh, but they are! And you can see that in the first gameplay trailer forLies Of P. Some bigBloodbornevibes mixed with a bit of Sekiro, within an edgy murderworld based on the old story. As if anything could be scarier than the bit in the Disney version where the kids get turned into donkeys. But come, watch the trailer.

We play as the puppet Pinocchio, a roboboy who awakes in the city of Krat where something has apparently gone mighty wrong. Off we go, trying to find out what happened, stabbing robots, crafting weapons including just straight-up Bloodborne’s Whirligig Saw, and playing with Sekiro-esque roboarms including a grappling hook and flamethrower.

Also, because he’s Pinocchio, it has quests where you can lie, and a press release says: “The more you lie, the more human you become, with all the advantages and disadvantages that it entails.” Choices influence the ending too. I do find this quite funny. But hey, if you’re going grim, go all-in.

Lot going on here, huh.
