The developers of Lies of P have published more than 40 minutes of gameplay from the Pinocchio Souls-like game with Bloodborne vibes in a two-part video. Those who want to convince themselves of the quality of the game experience before the release already have the chance to do so.
At the gamescom 2022, our colleague Stefan from PC Games already played half an hour in Lies of Pand its positive conclusion confirms us in our assumption that we are dealing with a exciting representative of the Soulslike guild. might have to do with:
“In the half hour I spent with Lies of P. two things stood out for me. Firstly, those who follow the Souls-like genre will probably not get much here in terms of gameplay that they don’t already know from various other games. However, because the whole thing already plays cleanly and intensely, this is hardly a point of criticism. Secondly, the atmosphere and premise are so interesting and, measured against what we’ve seen so far, so well executed that it’s worth keeping an eye on the title for that alone. Lies of P is quirky and different enough to stand out from the Souls-like crowd, and the generous release window on what is already a very compelling first impression gives me hope that the developers will deliver a great, high-quality game here.”
40 minutes of gameplay for Lies of P
The “weird and different” mentioned by Stefan can already be found in the starting point of the action role-playing game by Neowiz. You slip into the role of Pinocchio, a mechanical doll in the shape of a young man, who sets off in search of the famous master Geppetto. In doing so, you’ll explore the winding city of Krat, which with its Belle Époque aesthetics is reminiscent of large European cities between the 19th and 20th centuries, but turns out to be a sinister hellhole where the inhabitants have been slaughtered by mechanical creatures.
As in the original story, lying is intended to play an important role in the video game adaptation. On the one hand, the lies are meant to help the protagonist become more human. On the other hand, they can affect the procedurally generated quests and even the end of the story. It is also clear that there will be comparable mechanics as in the Souls games from From Software, keywords: beacons and souls.
But how does all this play out in concrete terms? Well, why don’t you look over the developers’ shoulders for about 40 minutes?
You can expect fights with different weapons against normal and trickier opponents, NPC interactions, tutorial inserts, insights into the menu and much more. If you want to convince yourself of the quality of the game experience before the release in 2023, you already have the chance to do so now.
