Lies of P - Story Trailer
Lies Of P begins, according to the creators, when mecha Pinocchio wakes up in the city of Krat with a note telling him to find Mr. Geppetto. Doing so will of course involve fighting your way through the ruined city. You’ll also alter your mecha puppet body to get new skills and other effects. The creators say there’s a weapon crafting system as well.
The story trailer up there doesn’t give a look at combat just yet. For a game that self-describes as a Souls-like, my guess is that it will be action combat, likely stamina management, and probably some biggo boss fights.
The particular Pinocchio parts are where things start to sound interesting. “The more you lie, the more human you become, with all the advantages and disadvantages that it entails,” Neowiz say, though they aren’t specific about what those advantages are. Lies Of P will also have “interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie. These choices will then affect how the story ends.” I have my own guesses about how close the lying and questing bits will hew to things like hollowing and NPCs in yonDark Soulsgames, but I’ll wait to hear more before I speak my assumptions.
This hyper edgy mimicry may be too rich for some, but I’m genuinely having a nice giggle over it. I mean really, steampunk Pinocchio in an ascot. I’ll bet just about anything they’ve given him an attractive face too, though it’s obscured in mysterious shadows in the trailer. I’m almost always willing to give another Souls-like a chance, though. It’s not likeBloodborneis coming to PC anytime soon, now is it?
