Lies of P

Quick Overview
Lies of P is a dark action RPG that turns the story of Pinocchio into a brutal soulslike adventure. You explore the ruined city of Krat, fight mechanical horrors, upgrade weapons, and survive boss battles that punish careless timing. The game is built around dodging, blocking, perfect guarding, and learning enemy patterns instead of simply attacking nonstop.

What makes Lies of P stand out is its strange mix of fairy-tale inspiration and gothic machine horror. It feels elegant but dangerous, with polished streets, broken puppets, creepy bosses, and a world that keeps getting darker the deeper you go.

Who Should Play This Game?
You should play Lies of P if you enjoy challenging combat, stylish boss fights, and games where every victory feels earned. Fans of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and other tough action RPGs will probably feel at home here, especially if they like parry-based combat and careful exploration.

It is also a strong pick for players who want a soulslike with a more focused story and a unique setting. The Pinocchio idea could have sounded strange, but the game uses it in a serious and creepy way, making the world feel different from the usual medieval fantasy style.

You may not enjoy it if you dislike repeating boss fights, learning attack patterns, or losing progress because of mistakes. This is not a casual hack-and-slash game. It expects patience.

Performance on PC
Lies of P is fairly well optimized on PC and does not need an extreme setup. The official Steam requirements list a GTX 960 / RX 560 as the minimum GPU, while the recommended GPU is a GTX 1660 / RX 6500 XT, with 50 GB of storage required.

On a modern mid-range PC, it should run smoothly at 1080p, and stronger GPUs can push higher settings or higher resolutions without much trouble. Since the game depends heavily on timing, stable FPS is more important than max graphics. Lowering shadows, effects, and resolution scale is better than playing with stutters during boss fights.
