where did you get "souls-like" from? i didn't see any gameplay in that trailer at all.

i also seem to have missed any reference to Pinocchio as well

Developer Round8 Studio and publisher NeoWiz have announced Lies of P, a Souls-like action-RPG that's inspired by the story of Pinocchio. It doesn't have a release date or window just yet, but it'll be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when it's done.

The developers describe the gameplay as having "a unique 'lie' system where what you do and say as the main character dynamically affects gameplay." NeoWiz offered a bit of insight on the announcement trailer (which you can watch at the top of this page), saying that it's narrated by someone other than the protagonist (that's all they'd hint at for now) and the events in the trailer serve as a prologue to the game's story.

The development team is over 60 people so far and still hiring, with the intent of making a Souls-like that competes with any of the best games in the genre. You can see a bit more of Lies of P in the screenshots above. We'll have much more on it as development progresses!

how I feel, but I thought that the concept sounded pretty interesting, so I felt it was worth posting for anyone who might care

While I don't agree in every case, I do think this one was a waste of time. It didn't even establish any lore or plot, so it was just a few minutes of imagery. And it's not even especially unique imagery of beautiful environments or an innovative art style. It's just...a guy walking into a building. I now know the title of your game, thanks?

I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1

Should have dialogue options where if you lie your morality goes down but your nose gets bigger which you can use as a stronger weapon

Lies Of P begins, according to the creators, when mecha Pinocchio wakes up in the city of Krat with a note telling him to find Mr. Geppetto. Doing so will of course involve fighting your way through the ruined city. You'll also alter your mecha puppet body to get new skills and other effects. The creators say there's a weapon crafting system as well.

...

The particular Pinocchio parts are where things start to sound interesting. "The more you lie, the more human you become, with all the advantages and disadvantages that it entails," Neowiz say, though they aren't specific about what those advantages are. Lies Of P will also have "interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie. These choices will then affect how the story ends." I have my own guesses about how close the lying and questing bits will hew to things like hollowing and NPCs in yon Dark Souls games, but I'll wait to hear more before I speak my assumptions.
