Lies of P is set in the Belle Époque-inspired city of Krat, a once beautiful city that has become a living nightmare as deadly puppets run amok and a plague sweeps the land. Play as a puppet who must fight his way through the city on his unrelenting journey to find Geppetto and finally learn what it means to be human. Lies of P presents an elegant world filled with tension, deep combat and character customization systems, and a gripping story with interesting narrative choices where the more lies told, the more human the protagonist becomes. Just remember: in a world filled with lies, no one can be trusted…
NEOWIZ launched Lies of P worldwide on Sept. 19, 2023, and fans can look forward to the first planned DLC in 2024. The standard and deluxe editions are available for a MSRP of $59.99 and $69.99 respectively, in digital or physical format on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and participating retailers.
