Masters of puppets: How ROUND8 Studio carved out a niche for Lies of P
Lies of P, a dark fantasy adventure game, is based on Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. The game's director, Jiwon Choi, wanted to create a story that was familiar but not entirely childish, and Pinocchio checked all the boxes. The game features a mechanical warrior puppet, a digital lamp assistant named Gemini, and a twist on the original's Blue Fairy character. Players can lie in the game, which affects the storyline and potentially leads to one of the game's multiple endings. The game's success has led to the development of downloadable content and a potential sequel.
