Lies of P
A Soulslike retelling of Pinocchio set in a Belle Époque city.
Last updated
Geppetto's son Carlo is the human whose revived puppet form is the player character P.[1]
Making and release
Among the optional key plot points is Geppetto's secret directive that allows him to control most puppets.[1] Puppets that are "Sentient" can bypass the Covenant's restrictions and are revived versions of dead humans.[1] The King of Puppets is the revived puppet of Romeo, who was Carlo's best friend.[1] The individual pretending to be treasure hunter Alidoro is an impostor who murdered the original.[1]
Arlecchino, one of the earliest sentient puppets, is the "King of Riddles" who contacts P by phone.[1] A post-credits scene shows that Giangio is actually Philippus Paracelsus, a deceptive figure.[2] Paracelsus describes sentient puppets as "a new type of humanity".[2] The scene concludes with an individual on a rooftop clicking their heels three times.[2]
