The upcoming Bloodborne-inspired Soulslike Lies of P features three endings for players to experience, just like Bloodborne itself.

Speaking to IGN at gamescom 2023, game director Ji-Won Choi said players will encounter different endings depending on the decisions they make throughout the game. Lies of P, perhaps unsurprisingly, features a lying system, and the extent of players' lies throughout the game will determine which ending they receive.

The lies in the game are not only lies that you are fooling others [with] but also white lies you have to do to make others feel better. You have to understand others' emotions to make a decision so [we] want users to feel how they would as a human in the game, and it will show in the ending.

There are three different endings and if you get to the end of the story there's a big surprise, a twist, waiting for you. The decisions that you made throughout the game will lead you to endings, so it's not something that you have to pick at the ending, it will lead you throughout the game."

Choi also suggested there won't be obvious story paths for players to follow to achieve each ending, but instead there will seemingly be unclear consequences to players' decisions that won't unfold until later.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

 

[Punished Miku]

That's 2 more than I was expecting

 

[MadPanda]

Only? Why are people obsessed with that arbitrary number?

 

[geary]

Blue ending, Green ending and Red ending.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

I would have preferred if it had only 1 ending.

 

[Leviathicus]

Im fine with one.

 

[Doom85]

Wait, exactly 3 endings? Well, isn't that awfully familiar?! Just how much more are they going to rip off from Bloodborne?!

Spoiler

JK, demo was fun, and I'm looking forward to this, after finishing Baldur's Gate 3 of course.

Why the "only"? I think that's more than fine, lol. If something has more than one ending, that's cool in my book!

'Only' because there are no "over 20 endings" bullshit like in other games.

 

[winjer]

3 endings is perfectly fine.

 

[havoc00]

And I'll see none of them

 

[rofif]

only ?
I don't like multiple endings and ideas of multiple endings. What is the story?! This or that or that? What am I playing towards

 

[MiguelItUp]

'Only' because there are no "over 20 endings bullshit" like in other games.

Hahaha, thank GOODNESS! Man, I'm always fine with a one ending, or a good and bad ending. Or even a secret ending added to that. Other than that, I never understood adding more and more.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Three endings is perfect. Devs who hype their games having 20000 endings can go suck it, it's just bloat ware. Unless you go Yoko Taro style with your different endings. Then I'm okay with it.

 

[Skifi28]

17.001 or bust.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Except for quickly replayable visual novels, I prefer games with a single ending. Even when they have a secret true ending it irks me

 

[ckaneo]

I hate multiple endings tbh

How do we know he isn't lying to us?

Unless its an RPG where your choices can directly contribute to what ending you get, I agree. Just make one ending.

 

[Fbh]

Amateur move.
You have to make real time cutscenes that show your weapons, then you claim each variant where the main character just has a different weapon is a different ending.
Bam: "100 endings!!!!"

 

[cireza]

That's 2 more than a lot of games.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Why is this considered news?

Breaking: Spider Man 2 to have an Options screen

 

[Ozriel]

'Only' because there are no "over 20 endings" bullshit like in other games.

Most games have just one ending.

 

[adamsapple]

"Only" is a weird way of labeling it lol. That's 2 more than what 99% of games have.

 

[ungalo]

That's disgusting.

 

[GymWolf]

Laugh in a baldurian manner.

 

[Spukc]

who the fuck cares

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The three endings are:

P stays a puppet
P become a real boy
Geppetto does something suspect to P

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Ok, so maybe it copied 1 thing from Bloodborne, they both have 3 endings.

 

[MMaRsu]

Most games only have one ending so thats three times more endings

 

[lefty1117]

why would I believe anything from Lies of P

Ehh.... if I am not mistaken that trend started with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. All the Souls games had 3 or so endings since the beginning of time. It's not exclusive to Bloodborne. Elden Ring also has 3 endings.

 

[SJRB]

What do you mean "only" three, how many do you want?

 

[Hayabusabruh]

I also heard that it's ONLY a video game too.

 

[Elder Legend]

What do you mean "only" three, how many do you want?

Over 9000 broski

 

[UniformDeliverance]

… only? Bloodborne also has three endings.

 

[Thief1987]

Only? 3 meaningless endings in the style "press x, y or z"? Another terrible trend invented by fromsoftware

 

[Kurotri]

Goddamnit OP you should've omitted the 'only' from your thread title
Anyway cool news I guess

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

"Only" huh??? Was there word on multiple endings

Are we supposed to be upset about this lol

Sorry double posted, not sure why?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Only? A game only needs 1. Jesus. What's fucking happening.

 

[Lux R7]

"only" lol.
it's fine

 

[Thabass]

Only? How dare only have three! I can't believe how LAZY they are!

Spoiler

If you can't tell this is sarcasm, you need help

 

[MMaRsu]

Lies of Three

 

[Kataploom]

"Only"? More than one and I'm feeling like I'm losing on something are the end, which isn't pretty...

 

[Montauk]

Oh…no??

 

[Fake]

Funny how they need to mention Bloodborne just to get your attention.

Reminds me the famouns 'From the creators of Left 4 Dead' tag.

 

[Soodanim]

Why give away something like that? I can't imagine it would bring in (m)any new players, so all you're doing is annoying people that didn't want or need to know that.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Man, nothing like having a good P.
