How Long Will Lies Of P Be? The Director’s Answer!

Choi Ji-Won, director of Lies of P, from Round8 Studios, the game developer, has answered the question; we won’t finish it in one day!

 

The director gave an interview to Prankster101 Productions, and from it, we learned that for a player of average skill, the retold story of Pinocchio would take about thirty hours to complete. Round8 Studio has tried to find a middle ground: they wanted to appeal to fans of longer games and the target audience looking for a shorter experience. Thirty hours is not short, but the studio has suggested that the structure of Lies of P will allow the story to be efficiently completed in shorter doses.

If you want to see everything, Ji-Won says it takes about 60 hours to complete Lies of P. Each stage will be about 10 hours long (so be prepared for six levels, simple math…), and each location will have a different character and uniqueness. According to the director, even if you play one stage at a time, you’ll still enjoy the experience step by step, so you don’t need to pack a survival kit with your PC or console (food, drinks, sleeping bag…).

Here’s some more information from the game’s Steam page: “You wake at an abandoned train station of Krat, a city overwhelmed by madness and bloodlust. In front of you lies a single note that reads: “Find Mr Geppetto. He’s in this city.” Play as Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid, to find this mystery person. Overcome all the calamity that awaits you. Trust no one. None can help you. You must constantly lie to others to become human.

Inspired by the familiar story of Pinocchio, Lies of P is an action souls-like game set in a cruel, dark Belle Epoque world. All of humanity is lost in a once beautiful city that has now become a living hell filled with screams. Lies of P offers an elegant world filled with tension, a deep combat system and a gripping story. Lead and experience Pinocchio’s unrelenting journey towards humanity.

The timeless tale of Pinocchio has been reimagined with dark and striking visuals. Set in the fallen city of Krat, Pinocchio desperately fights to become human against all odds. The city of Krat was inspired by the Belle Epoque Era in Europe (late 19th Century to the early 20th Century) and is the epitome of a collapsed city bereft of prosperity. Experience interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie. These choices will then affect how the story ends.

You can combine weapons in many ways to create something new. Research to find the best combinations and make something extraordinary. With Pinocchio being a doll, you can change parts of his body to gain new skills and, hopefully, an edge in battle. But only some of the enhancements are for fighting, though. They can also provide several other unique and valuable features.”

NeoWiz will release the Bloodborne-inspired Lies of P for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC in 2023.
