![]() Outside of the sometimes spotty localization, voice acting for its rather small cast of characters varies. It feels Neowiz wants to offer the trappings of an evocative, gothic horror title, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing. Due to a lackluster localization, with a lot of the game’s flavor text suffering from numerous grammatical errors. That said, the narrative of Lies of P falls somewhat flat. Instead of a man who so desperately wanted to create a son of his very own, he is complicit in the tumultuous puppet uprising in Krat due to the very nature of his craft. You have the hallmarks of Gepetto the Puppet Maker, but his role is recontextualized in a world where the significance of his craft bears an entirely different light. Because it is fairly loose with the source material, it feels more or less like a narrative that draws inspiration from Pinocchio, but creates something that is still fundamentally itself. Lies of P is a great demonstration of how game developers can use a public domain IP to create something unique, unlike previous attempts to capitalize on other stories like Robin Hood or King Arthur to little effect.
