You wake up at an abandoned train station in Krat, a city overwhelmed by madness and bloodlust. In front of you lies a single note that reads:

"Find Mr. Geppetto. He's here in the city."

Built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 4, Lies Of P tells the story of Pinocchio like you’ve never seen it before. As Pinocchio himself, you must navigate through a dark Belle Epoque world where all of humanity is lost. The once beautiful city of Krat has become a living hell, and you must find the famed Mr. Geppetto to unravel the mystery of what happened to both yourself and the world around you.

As the puppet mechanoid Pinocchio, you will wind your way through the streets of a ruined city, crafting weapons from the materials you find in the world, and interacting with the remaining few who manage to survive in this pre-industrial hellscape. The more you lie, the more human you become, with all the advantages and disadvantages that it entails. But don't expect any help along the way and don't make the mistake of trusting anyone. A richly detailed crafting system, profound narrative choices, and deeply customizable character progression round out the RPG features in Lies of P.

NEOWIZ is celebrating Pinocchio’s birthday with the release of two brand-new videos offering a behind-the-scenes look at the development of Lies Of P and a unique character breakdown from the voice actor.

In the first video, Project Director Ji Won Choi and Art Director Chang Kyu Noh guide viewers through what to expect from the story, characters, tone, art direction, and more that they’ll discover throughout the highly-anticipated Souls-like game, while the second video has actor Allegra Marland (Elden Ring, The Crown), share a deep dive into her character Sophia.

In the behind-the-scenes video, Choi and Roh give insight into the meticulous designs of the cast and game world, their inspirations for creating the game, and more in a Q&A style. In the video interview with Marland, she provides a detailed look at Sophia and how she helped bring the mysterious character to life. Sophia is unique in that she gained time manipulation abilities after awakening the true powers of Ergo, and Marland goes on to describe some of her favorite lines and how she views the character in the context of the story.
