You might have heard there’s a Pinocchio game coming out very soon. If that has conjured images ofDisney’s animated version of the character in your mind and you’ve come here to pick up a copy for yourself or your child, you might want to keep looking.Lies Of Pis not based on Disney’s Pinocchio. Not even a little bit. Lies Of P is inspired by games likeBloodborneandDark Souls, likely providing a massive challenge for Gepetto’s puppet and whoever among you is brave enough to assume control of him from September 19.
Lies Of P begins with Pinocchio waking up in a train station, his goal to return to his creator. Pinocchio is no normal puppet, though. An array of weapons to find, many of which can be attached to his mechanical arm, and a lying system that gives you decisions to make. The lies you tell will determine the path you take with three different possible endings awaiting you in Krat.

Lie Of P launches on September 19, but if you want to get some added extras, and potentially even play the game before everybody else, you’ll need to pre-order a copy. Releasing both physically and digitally on the same day, the edition you opt for will determine what added extras you get. However, everyone who pre-orders will get the Mischievous Puppet’s Clothes and Parade Hat, regardless of the edition you choose.

FAQ

Even though it’s a soulslike game and it won’t have an adjustable difficult setting, Lies Of P has apparently been designed to be fun and accessible for all, so hopefully it won’t be so challenging that it puts some players off pretty quickly.
Who Is The Final Boss In The Lies Of P Demo?
Naturally a mild spoiler warning if you plan on playing Lies Of P, or even just the demo. The final boss you face at the end of the demo in Krat City Hall is the Scrapped Watchman.
