The player controls the humanoid Pinocchio and travels on foot through the city of Krat, exploring the environment and fighting various biomechanical enemies. The player uses an arsenal of weapons such as a sword and an ax against his enemies and can dodge and block their blows. The game features a "Lying System" where the decisions the player makes during certain passages affect the course of events, leading to three different endings. The gameplay of Lies of P has been called a "soulslike" and compared to that of Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Inspired by Carlo Collodi's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, Lies of P tells the story of a humanoid puppet Pinocchio, who wakes up in an abandoned train station in the city of Krat, engulfed in chaos and madness. Pinocchio must find his creator, the master Geppetto, and overcome the calamity that has befallen the city, trying to become a man. Lies of P was announced on May 19, 2021. Choi Ji-Won notes that the original story is "dark" tone and "diverse backgrounds" that the staff could use. The game was won the "Best Action Adventure Game", "Most Wanted Sony PlayStation", and "Best Role Playing Game" at the Gamescom 2022 Awards.
