A Disney take on Carlo Collodi\u2019s famous novel, this is not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been toying with the idea of retelling Pinocchio\u2019s tale in our own way for some time. Lies of P is the culmination of our dreams and our nightmares. It\u2019s definitely a version of this classic story that you\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d said Jiwon Choi, development director for Lies of P. \u201cTo us, Pinocchio has always been a grimly dark tale of the lies we tell to get by in a world that\u2019s not always black and white. We can\u2019t wait to show you more of the game in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/lies-of-p-is-the-dark-souls-of-pinocchio-1.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>In Souls-like fashion, you will take on terrifying opponents and explore a dark world inspired by the Belle \u00c9poque Era, showcasing a collapsed city that was once prosperous and vibrant. Here\u2019s something you may not expect. Because you\u2019re playing as Pinocchio, one of the core concepts in the game is to lie. Depending on the lies you tell over the course of the game, the ending will differ.<\/p>\n<p>While we don\u2019t know too much as to how combat and mechanics are going to play out at this time, there is a weapon crafting system that allows players to combine weapons with one another to create new ones. There are also skill systems that tap into the fact that Pinocchio is a doll, allowing him to swap out parts of his body to gain new features and abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Are you interested in this tale of darkness, lies, and deception? Are you excited to play as a puppet mechanoid that will do anything to become human?
