Lies of P is an action RPG from Neowiz and its development studio Round8 (renamed Nough in August 2026), a dark retelling of Pinocchio set in the Belle Époque city of Krat, where puppets have turned violent. It was released on 18 September 2023 for Windows, macOS, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S and on 19 September 2023 for PS4 and PS5. A Nintendo Switch 2 version followed on 6 August 2026. It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
Your Perfect Guard (a block timed just before the hit) damages the enemy's stability, Fable Arts are weapon-specific special attacks that use Fable Slots, and the Legion Arm holds swappable modules (you start with the Left Arm of Steel; others include Puppet String, Fulminis and Flamberge). Almost any weapon can be split into a blade and a handle and recombined at a Stargazer, after you obtain the Enigma Assembly Tool, which drops from the Mad Donkey. Weapon durability falls with use and is restored with the Grinder.
The Overture expansion, a prequel, was released in June 2025. Lies of P is single-player only, and its developers considered and rejected both multiplayer and an open world. Neowiz announced a sequel in November 2023.
Your dialogue choices add Humanity points, and the total determines which of the three main-game endings you can reach. Different choices give very different amounts, so it is not simply a matter of lying or telling the truth.
Weapon-specific special attacks that spend Fable Slots; slots regenerate by attacking enemies. Examples are Link Slash, Explosive Shot and Absolute Defense.
A prosthetic arm with swappable modules: Left Arm of Steel at the start, then Puppet String, Fulminis, Flamberge, Aegis and others as you progress.
Most weapons split into a blade and a handle, which can be recombined at a Stargazer once you have the Enigma Assembly Tool.
