In a recent interview with DualShockers, Lies of P director Choi Ji-won revealed that the upcoming soulslike action RPG will have three different possible endings players can attempt to get. The game’s lie system, which has players select multiple dialogue choices will determine their endings. Choi also states that players will need to play through the game several times to get its full experience and see all three endings. Lies of P will launch on September 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass.
An excerpt of the interview reads:
“One thing we planned in advance is that you wouldn’t want to just play it once. If you have only played it once, then it’s not complete. We really highly recommend you play it several times.”
“Basically there are three endings. But we really, really, really recommend playing the ending until the very, very, very end.”
The game’s details via the publisher:
You wake up at an abandoned train station in Krat, a city overwhelmed by madness and bloodlust. In front of you lies a single note that reads:
“Find Mr. Geppetto. He’s here in the city.”
Play as Pinocchio, a puppet mechanoid, and fight through everything in your path to find this mystery person. But don’t expect any help along the way and don’t make the mistake of trusting anyone.
You must always lie to others if you hope to become human.

All of humanity is lost in a once beautiful city that has now become a living hell filled with unspeakable horrors.
Lies of P offers an elegant world filled with tension, a deep combat system and a gripping story.
