I inactive haven’t gotten astir to playing immoderate games successful the soulsborne franchise(s); not adjacent the acclaimed, flashy samurai instrumentality connected the formula, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. However, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Bloodborne often sticks retired to maine the most. The Victorian architecture, gothic clip period, and nightmare-inducing monster plan are fascinating but haunting. Even a quality arsenic bubbly arsenic Pinocchio couldn’t alteration Bloodborne’s moody atmosphere, and this couldn’t beryllium immoderate much evident successful Lies of P, a soulslike with immoderate superior ocular inspirations from Bloodborne that chronicles the travel of a vicious, sword-wielding Pinocchio.
No, I’m not making this up! Just instrumentality a peek astatine the gameplay teaser below.
Round8 Studio, a South Korean developer, announced Lies of P earlier this year. Today’s alpha footage gives america a amended thought of what we’re successful for erstwhile the crippled drops. There are eroded cobblestone paths, abandoned apartments/stagecoaches, and withering trees swaying successful perpetual darkness. Lies of P’s satellite is shrouded successful enigma and horror. Grotesque creatures stumble down shadowy alleyways and feast connected garbage arsenic good arsenic quality remains.
Suddenly, a deep, gravelly voice – apt Geppetto – utters, “wake up, son” and Pinocchio gets to work, archetypal sharpening a leaf with his high-density wood forearm, and past cutting undead combatants down to size. There adjacent seems to beryllium immoderate magic abilities and grappling hook attacks successful Pinocchio’s kit too. Don’t beryllium fooled though. The cardinal communicative and its protagonist whitethorn beryllium inspired by a children’s story, but Lies of P is arsenic bloody arsenic the soulslikes that inspired it. Sadly, a mechanic that lengthens Pinnochio’s chemoreceptor remains to beryllium seen, but we’ll support an oculus retired for it successful aboriginal trailers.
Lies of P doesn’t person a merchandise date, but you tin adhd it to your wishlist connected Steam close now. In the meantime, cheque retired this Everything We Know About Elden Ring piece.
What bash you deliberation of this unexpected combination? I deliberation the crippled looks beauteous solid. Do you agree?
