Gamescom showed a new trailer for the steampunk action game lies of P We’ve finally got our first look at what the in-game combat will look like and what terrifying puppet enemies Pinocchio will face.
lies of P is a souslike game based on the story of Pinocchio. You play as a mechanized puppet searching for its creator, Geppetto, in an abandoned city full of murderous puppets. The city of Krat invented the puppets to replace human labor, but they eventually rebelled against their makers
The most noticeable part of the gameplay is Pinnochio’s left arm. Since he’s a doll, you can modify him for various gameplay effects. For example, he can use his arm as a grappling hook, flamethrower, and electric weapon. Although it is possible to fight enemies using only Pinocchio’s left arm, the developers do not recommend it
The weapons themselves can be disassembled into the blade and handle, and the latter changes the attack animation. That official twitter boasts 30 different weapons and 100 different “combinations,” and not all of those differences will be mechanical. The developers suggest find balance between style and content.
That Steam page also mentions that Pinocchio can be customized for non-combat actions, such as: break down a door. And true to his original inspiration, Lie features a mechanic where Pinocchio wants Collect humanity points through lies. These points affect how the story ends.
