Round8 Studio Announces Dark Soulslike Take on ‘Pinocchio’ Story in ‘Lies of P’
American McGee gave us a dark twisted version of Alice in Wonderland, and now publisher Neowiz and developer Round8 Studio are doing the same with Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio. Per Gematsu, Lies of P is a Soulslike for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
According to the Steam page, the game is set in the cruel, dark Belle Epoque world of the city of Krat. You are Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid. You awaken at an abandoned train station. A note in front of you reads: “Find Mr. Geppetto. He’s in this city.”
As you might expect, seeing as you’re Pinocchio, you’ll have to lie in order to disguise the fact that you’re not human. As such, the quests you undertake are interconnected and change depending on how you lie, which in turn affects the game’s outcome. You’ll also have a weapon-crafting system where you can combine weapons, as well as a skill system that involves you swapping out your limbs for others, granting you new abilities and traits.
No release date has been announced as of yet.
Physical media fanatics can rejoice when it comes to The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep. Alongside the digital version of the game that’s set to launch on June 18 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, PlayStation owners will also be able to snag the physical version of Still Wakes the Deep on the same day.
Described as a welcome update for console players “whose greatest fear is the death of physical media,” the Still Wakes the Deep physical edition will be available from online and retail stores in North America and Europe. No word on if the Xbox Series will be getting the same treatment.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any additional goodies with the physical disc. But, given that this guarantees you’ll have a copy of Still Wakes the Deep that you can pop into your console and play without the need to download it again, that’s a small price to pay.
Still Wakes the Deep takes place in 1975, where disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You are one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board, leaving you to not only restore function to the rig, but also deal with the unknowable horror.
And keep an eye out for the upcoming mini documentary on Still Wakes the Deep, which is scheduled to arrive around April 30th.
