The digital standard edition pre-orders come bundled with a unique “Mischievous Puppet’s Set” outfit. A deluxe edition, on the other hand, includes an additional “Great Venigni’s Set” outfit and a unique mask, as well as early access to the game, three days prior to the official launch.

A standard physical edition of the game is also available for purchase.
In the demo, players get a glimpse of Lies of P, including the first two chapters, challenging boss encounters, and introductions to key characters. The demo offers several hours of gameplay, allowing players to explore the game’s main hub area— the Hotel Krat. While providing an introductory look at Lies of P, the demo only offers a taste of the full game content set to be available upon its official launch.
Lies of P presents a unique take on the classic Pinocchio story, set in the grim, dark world of Belle Epoque. Players take on the role of Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid, in the blood-thirsty and madness-ridden city of Krat, fighting against monstrous horrors to become human. The game presents a rich combat system, a captivating storyline, and an eerie, tension-filled world for players to navigate.
Key features of the game include its dark reinterpretation of the classic Pinocchio tale, a unique visual concept inspired by the Belle Epoque Era, interconnected procedural quests based on the lies players tell within the game, multiple endings dependent on these lies, an innovative weapon-making system, and a special skill system that allows players to customize Pinocchio’s doll body for unique advantages in and out of combat. The game’s thrilling journey and Pinocchio’s relentless quest to become human form the core of Lies of P’s gameplay.
