About the Game
Lies of P is a grim, Pinocchio-inspired souls-like that reimagines the fairy tale in a plague-ridden Belle Époque city.
Lies of P is an action role-playing game with adventure elements, and it sits firmly in the souls-like tradition. You play as one of Geppetto's puppets, caught in a web of lies, monsters, and untrustworthy characters. The story reinterprets Pinocchio, turning the familiar tale into something dark and cold.
The setting is Krat, a city that once flourished on its doll industry and still carries the elegance of the Belle Époque. Now a plague has poisoned it with madness and bloodshed. A mysterious voice wakes you and guides you through its streets, and the city's elite hold secrets you must uncover as you search for your own sense of self.
The core loop is built around combat. You adjust yourself and your weapons to face a range of fears and twisted machines, combining dynamic weapons and using the Legion Arm to activate new skills. Over time you develop a combat style of your own against both enemies and terrain. Throughout the story you also face choices, such as whether to comfort desperate people with a lie or give them the truth, and you decide how to face each dilemma.
What stands out is how the grim, elegant atmosphere pairs with combat designed around building your own approach. The game reworks the fairy tale rather than simply retelling it, so the mood stays bleak throughout. For players who like to set their own pace, the adjustable difficulty and full controller support give room to shape the experience.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Fans of souls-like action RPGs who enjoy building weapons and fighting through grim, atmospheric worlds will likely enjoy Lies of P. Players who like reinterpreted fairy tales and story choices about when to tell the truth and when to lie will find plenty to think about here.
Not Recommended For
Players who want a light, cozy experience should look elsewhere, since the city is described as bloody and the game carries an adult content flag. Anyone who dislikes the souls-like pattern of hard combat and learning enemies through repeated attempts may find it frustrating.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Lies of P holds a Steam review label of Very Positive, which is 極度好評 in Taiwan wording, with 92% of its reviews positive. Its review volume is in the tens of thousands, so the rating reflects a large sample of players rather than a handful of opinions.
A Very Positive label with a high positive percentage generally means most players who reviewed the game enjoyed it, though it cannot tell you whether it suits your personal taste. Larger review counts are usually more reliable than small ones, so the rating here carries more weight than it would for a newly released title with few reviews. It is still worth skimming recent reviews on the Steam page to see how the difficulty and story land with people.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Lies of P currently sells for NT$1290, which is also its regular price, and it is not on a tracked discount right now. Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative.
Within our record, the game has been discounted often, with the deepest cut at 50% off. The lowest paid price we recorded was NT$645, on June 26, 2026, and the highest price we recorded was NT$1290. It has not been free to keep on any day in our record.
Whether now is a good time depends on how much you value waiting. At NT$1290 you are paying full price, and because discounts have been frequent, adding it to your wishlist and enabling sale notifications is a sensible way to wait for a lower price. Our record is too short to call the sale pattern reliable, so treat this as a loose guide rather than a firm rule.
