Developer Round8 Studio has released a brand new gameplay trailer for their upcoming soulslike Lies of P, courtesy of IGN. While it’s not another half hour as with last year’s Gamescom videos, and much of the footage seems to have been taken from previously-released videos, there’s still plenty of new content here in this darkly gothic take on Pinocchio.
The gameplay trailer definitely gives off that epic feel for Lies of P, with Pinocchio meeting up with Geppetto interspersed with shots of the Belle Époque world the game inhabits. There are also plenty of shots with Pinocchio battling Victorian mechanical horrors that aren’t quite on the same level as the Lovecraftian monsters in Bloodborne (so far), but you wouldn’t want to meet up with them, either.
In Lies of P, players take on the role of Pinocchio, who wakes at an abandoned train station of Krat, a city that has been overwhelmed by madness and bloodlust. In front of you is a single note that tells you to find Mr. Geppetto, who is somewhere in Krat. You’ll have to engage in lies in order to progress through the game’s interconnected procedural quests. Depending on how you lie, your choices will affect the overall outcome of Lies of P‘s story.
Lies of P is currently in development for a release later this year on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via Steam.
