"Lies of P: A Slow-Burn Soulsborne Gem"

Lies of P is a narrative-driven action RPG that breathes new life into the Soulsborne genre by allowing players to shape the world and fabricate their own truth with the characters they meet. Set in the Belle Époque era, the game follows Pinocchio, a puppet with the ability to pretend to be human, as he navigates a city plagued by an unknown frenzy. The game features time-based conversation decisions, a karma system, and a unique combat style reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. While the combat can be derivative, the game's strengths lie in its gripping story and the agency it gives players over Pinocchio's character development.

Controversial 'ACAB' Sign Cut from Pinocchio Soulslike Game

The upcoming action-RPG game, Lies of P, inspired by Bloodborne and based on Pinocchio's story, had an "All Cops Are Bastards" sign that was eventually removed for being "risky" and potentially affecting players' experiences. The game director, Ji-Won Choi, stated that they wanted players to enjoy the game as intended and not be influenced by trends. The sign was changed from "APAB" (All Puppets Are Bastards) to "Purge Puppets" in the final version. The removal of the sign may have been due to real-life connections or potential political implications.
