Lies of P is one of the most talked-about Soulslike games in recent years — and for good reason. Developed by NEOWIZ Games, this action RPG reimagines the story of Pinocchio in a dark, steampunk-inspired world filled with danger, lies, and brutal combat. If you’re a fan of Bloodborne, Elden Ring, or Sekiro, Lies of P will feel familiar, yet refreshingly original.
And yes — there’s a free demo available so you can test your skills before diving into the full nightmare.
A Puppet’s Journey Through a City in Ruin
You play as P, a puppet with a mysterious origin, on a journey through the decaying city of Krat — once a thriving industrial metropolis now overrun by deadly automatons and madness. Inspired loosely by the tale of Pinocchio, the game explores themes of humanity, truth, and the power of lies.
But this is no child’s story. It’s violent, somber, and laced with gothic horror.
Gameplay: Soulslike at Its Core
Lies of P is a true Soulslike, offering:
-
Tight, challenging melee combat
-
A variety of weapons and custom combos
-
Dodge and parry mechanics
-
Tactical boss fights with punishing difficulty
-
A haunting world with deep lore and environmental storytelling
One of the standout features is the “Lying System.” Your choices — whether you tell the truth or lie — directly affect the game’s story, ending, and even how certain characters treat you.
Weapon Crafting & Customization
The game offers deep weapon customization. You can combine blades and handles to create your own hybrid weapons, adjusting reach, speed, and damage types. Alongside your mechanical arm (which has interchangeable gadgets like flamethrowers or grappling hooks), the combat feels rich and strategic.
Stunning Visual Design
If you loved the dark Victorian vibes of Bloodborne, you’ll feel at home in Krat. The architecture, lighting, enemy design, and eerie music all work together to create an unsettling yet immersive experience.
