​

- What is "Lies of P"? ・・・A dark fantasy action game based on the familiar Pinocchio from fairy tales.

This work reconstructs Carlo Collodi's masterpiece with a cruel concept. The main character, Pinocchio, embarks on an adventure in search of Grandpa Geppetto. The stage of the adventure is "Crat", a town with the motif of the Belle Epoque era. It was ruled by madness and murderous dolls. Pinocchio must survive using a variety of weapons and a switchable legion arm with special abilities. He is also waiting for encounters with characters other than enemies. Lie and guide Pinocchio to fulfill his dream of becoming a human.

Let him use a highly flexible weapon creation system that combines blades and handles. By switching prosthetic hands with various abilities, it corresponds to every play style.As he explores the city of Krat, he is faced with a situation where he must choose between lying and telling the truth. Be careful with your decisions. The ending of the story changes greatly depending on the player's choice.

Face terrifying dolls and monstrous foes as you navigate through the ruined city to become human.

[Metnut]

If the reviews and NeoGaf impressions are good, I'll buy this. Seems like the concept has a lot of potential but I'm wary of anyone other than From's A-team's ability to make these kinds of games.

 

[skneogaf]

If it feels exactly like bloodborne then I will buy it!

It will have a similar feel to Bloodborne 3

 

[mykiisubtle]

I'm so excited for this. That first trailer gave me goosebumps

 

[Commanderson]

3rd party game dev+ Day one on gamepass=red flag

 

[Bartski]

nice. Good date, should be able to squeeze it in between Starfield and crazy packed October

Wo long and Atomic heart were pretty good though

 

[Mr Hyde]

The cover on Xbox is much better than the Playstation version. Strange it got two separate covers. Maybe it's reversible? Anyway, fuck it, playing this on Game Pass when it released. Looks really cool and I need that Bloodborne fix. The concept with Pinocchio is intriguing too and feels like a fresh take on a classic story.

[Draugoth]

Demo is out

 

[Kataploom]

Looks great, already downloading the demo on Steam

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

This game disgusts me

 

[gela94]

I'm just gonna play it for the cute character

 

[Thief1987]

Game looked consistently bad in all showings, but i definitely will try the demo to make final judgment

 

[K2D]

I hope I'm wrong about this game, from what I've seen thus far.

Desperate for anything Bloodborne-soulslike.

 

[ChoosableOne]

%89 downloaded, I will try it after the show ends. The trailer looks really good, hopefully it will be a great game.

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

First soulslike game to get it right.

 

[DR3AM]

Can't wait. Thank god for GamePass

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Wo long and Atomic heart were pretty good though

Outriders and MLB The Show are great too.

 

[MaKTaiL]

The demo's HDR is a mess. When you turn it off it actually looks much better.

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

Playing through this right now and I am not sure if I have ever seen a more blatant rip off. It's fun but man is the inspiration obvious.

 

[R6Rider]

The demo's HDR is a mess. When you turn it off it actually looks much better.

I always turn off HDR for games now. Too many games look worse with it on.

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's OK I guess. I regret choosing the path of the rapier-wielding bastard, the greatsword seems better after all. I wonder if the entire game is played with the same weapon? Are we getting those "souls" for weapons or stats, or both?

BTW, It's really weird to see the message 'lie' popping up everywhere. "Now lying" instead of Now Loading? "Lie or Die" instead of You Died? Yeah we know what Pinocchio does best.

 

[iorek21]

Played a bit of the demo.

Feels it's coming 7 years too late. The story and level design will make it or break it, because you've seen this combat countless times now.

Will buy it on sale or something.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Alright, played the demo, it's actually, pretty decent, tho as you play you can feel the indie, low budgety vibes of it, the architecture and level design isnt that great, but its ok. It does have one huge thing which I hate, and that is auto-follow camera, which moves the camera automatically behind ur back when u move or whatever and for me, thats kind of annoying. If they dont add an option to disable it, might not bite on it. Gives me nausea when games automatically control my camera for some reason. It's not as bad as some other bad souls-likes I played but still meh. Will see.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

Downloading the demo now, pretty curious

 

[Rikku-X]

That guys prettier then most western female characters.

 

[Draugoth]

I want to marry the Blue Fairy

 

[abacab driver]

This is absolutely filling the Bloodborne void until From decides to make another one.
Call it a blatant ripoff all you want to..this is very well done.

 

[Stuart360]

Demo was quite nice actually. Its also very well optimized using 40-50% gpu usage at max settings at 1080p/60. on my 1080ti with arouind 3.5gb vram usage. Probably could do 1620p or even 4k with FSR.
It compiles shaders before you start, but it only takes about a minute literally. Had only 2 single frame stutters in the whole demo.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Playing through this right now and I am not sure if I have ever seen a more blatant rip off. It's fun but man is the inspiration obvious.

I think that's the whole point honestly. Bloodborne fans have been clamoring for a remaster, a remake, a sequel, anything. So, this surely fill that void. Hopefully.

Exactly! I'm really curious about checking it out.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Game looks amazing. Day 1 on game pass!

 

[KormaChameleon]

I'm just gonna play it for the cute character

 

[Roufianos]

Looks amazing and plays surprisingly smooth, really expected it to be a lot jankier. Now I get the hype.

 

[Guiding Moonlight]

Just played the demo. Between this and Lords of the Fallen, I think soulslikes might finally be figuring it out a little bit. Super excited for Fall!

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

Perfect ripoff of Bloodborne with it's own unique story is all I needed from these souls like games. This is the first game to get that right.

 

[Lux R7]

game is really damn good imho, souls clone done right. I'll be there in september

 

[Pedro Motta]

Amazing game, loved the demo. Day one for me for sure. It's a rip off, but it's a classy and respectful one. Good jobs devs. Oh and the performance and visuals are top notch.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Downloading the demo after seeing people's reactions here. Fingers crossed it's as Bloodborne as I'm hoping.

 

[01011001]

I'm just gonna play it for the cute character

I see...

 

[Wunray]

Is anyone else having a problem leveling up like you can't level up at all?

 

[Ansphn]

Have to give respect when it's due. This is like the first Korean or China Hero game with a release date and demo on consoles. I seen so many with trailers and concept videos. But why does a game that look this is good Day 1 on Gamepass? That's what makes me iffy.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Is anyone else having a problem leveling up like you can't level up at all?

I was unable to level up after the first boss. I guess it's a demo limitation.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Is anyone else having a problem leveling up like you can't level up at all?

Haven't had thay problem

I really like the game! The boss that the end was great. But, as a souls vet I gotta say MAN I hate the dogde roll in this game. It's like a single back step and hard to roll from hits. Maybe it's just me or I need more stamina

 

[Aion002]

Great perfomance on the ps5.

But the combat feels off to me, it's basically a copy of Bloodborne, but something is weird on it... Maybe the evasion iframes or the hit reactions. It doesn't feel good to play.

Also, swinging the sword on enemies feels floaty.

Which is a pity, since the art style and the setting are interesting.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Has anyone figured out how to properly use the L1 + Triangle move?

 

[01011001]

Has anyone figured out how to properly use the L1 + Triangle move?

it's a parry that had a small wind up animation.
you just have to get the timing down
