• Two Lies of P weapons are set to be featured in the Team NINJA action game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

Lies of P tells a dark story of Pinocchio. Players assume the role of the beloved character and must navigate through a dark Belle Epoque world where dread is found around every corner. The once-beautiful city of Krat has become a living hell, and Pinocchio will need to find Mr. Geppetto to unravel the mystery of what happened.

Players will need to navigate the streets as Pinocchio faces off against demon-like enemies. To assist, systems such as weapon and item creation are available. However, the feature of lying is implemented where the more you lie, the more human you become, with all the advantages and disadvantages that entails. It sounds quite unique, not to mention characteristic of the source material.

Lies of P is now available worldwide on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
