Players take on the role of P, a puppet brought to life with the mission of saving the city from Geppetto. In the original fairy tale, Pinocchio embarks on a journey of self-discovery, encounters various characters, and learns important life lessons, including the consequences of lying. Lies of P maintains a delicate connection to the Pinocchio story, but introduces fresh twists and a darker narrative.

The game also pays homage to its source material with iconic characters, such as P (Pinocchio), Gemini (replacing the cricket Jiminy), Geppetto, and Sophia (reminiscent of the fairy).

Lies of P is set to launch on September 18 in early access for Digital Deluxe Edition purchasers and on September 19 for Game Pass members on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, S, and Windows. And based on early reviews from critics, devs can be hopeful of a continued response, following its release.
