Lies of P’s Overture Could Be Borrowing Shadow of the Erdtree’s Approach

Back in 2023, many Soulslike fans were caught off guard by Lies of P. Developed by Neowiz and Round8 Studio, the game is a horror-tinged retelling of The Adventures of Pinocchio, and follows P through the plague-and-puppet-infested city of Krat. Players were pleasantly surprised by the robust combat options, the even more versatile Weapon Assembly and upgrade paths backing them up, and the unique atmosphere Lies of P established. Lies of P’s exact sales are unknown, but it topped a million in one month, and garnered an impressive seven million players before its first anniversary with the help of Game Pass.
