RPS@PAX West 2022: Hands-on with Souls-like fairytale Lies of P

It’s day two of PAX West and to kick off our second day of game events and demos we got hands-on with a build of Neowiz’s Pinocchio RPG, Lies of P. The gameplay demo caused quite a stir when it was at Gamescom earlier this year , so we made it one of our priorities to check it out here in Seattle.

Neowiz are not actually at PAX so there wasn’t anyone on the team to give us some behind-the-scenes info, but I got stuck into the demo for a solid 30 minutes, brawling with the game’s angry robot lads that roamed the city’s blood-washed cobbled streets.

Overall, I had a great time with the demo. Yes, it is incredibly similar to Bloodborne in both its combat and environments but there are plenty of other elements that steer it away from FromSoftware’s horror-filled gothic RPG. If you want more details instead of that short summary then check out our video below where I talk about my time with the build, and about having my ass kicked by giant mechanical automatons. Enjoy!
