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.

Released last week, NEOWIZ announced that the Lies of P public demo has surpassed 1 million downloads in three days across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (Xbox Game Pass at launch) and PC (Steam) platforms.

The exciting new demo gives players early access to the first two chapters of Lies of P, including challenging boss encounters, introductions to key characters, and unique areas to explore. The demo features hours of gameplay, and allows players to freely explore the game’s primary hub area – the Hotel Krat. The demo offers an introductory look at Lies of P, but only scratches the surface of the game’s full content fans can look forward to at launch. 

“The Lies of P team has been working hard to deliver a demo experience that meets your expectations and it's been gratifying seeing the positive response! We’re looking forward to continued feedback as you play through the demo again, so please keep them coming, and we’ll release the very best Lies of P experience possible on September 19th,” said Project Director Jiwon Choi.

Key Features:

• Visual Concept: The city of Krat was insipired by the Belle Époque Era in Europe (late 19th Century to the early 20th Century) and is the epitome of a collapsed city bereft of prosperity.
• 'Lying' Quests and Multiple Endings: Experience interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie. These choices will then affect how the story ends.
