Blending together a mix of their dreams and nightmares, Round8 Studio has decided to create the retelling of Pinocchio’s tale in their own way. Working with NEOWIZ, they plan to launch their retelling title, Lies of P, on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This Souls-like game, inspired by the classic Italian novel from Carlo Collodi, has been built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 4 to meet the next-gen quality.

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. Now that the once beautiful city of Krat has become a living hell, you must find the famed Mr. Geppetto to unravel the mystery of what happened to both yourself and the world around you.

There is still a lot to learn about this title, but I have to admit that it does sound pretty interesting. I will be looking forward to their reveal of more details and eventual gameplay footage. At least, for now, we have a solid grasp of the story in the form of their retelling. What do you think about this concept?
