"Pinocchio and Lies of P: Neat Weapon Durability Mechanics in Gothic Soulslikes"

Lies of P, an upcoming Bloodborne-inspired Soulslike game, features a weapon durability mechanic that rewards players for taking care of their weapons. As players slash their way through a steampunked Belle Époque-era France as the clockwork doll protagonist, they can use the Grinder item to sharpen their weapons and replenish their durability. The game also allows players to enhance their Grinder with elemental effects, further increasing their damage output. By paying attention to weapon durability and honing their equipment, players gain a literal sharp edge in battle.
