Puppets have their own language, which consists of blurred English text that becomes visible during boss fights against enemy puppets. However, despite this, one day they revolt and slaughter most of Krat's human population. In order to ensure that puppets would not be a threat, they were bound to the Grand Covenant, which forbids them from lying or attacking humans. Foremost among puppet inventors is both Lorenzini Venigni and the legendary Geppetto, who created Pinocchio.

Puppets soon became ubiquitous throughout the city, performing menial labour for the populace. Puppets were invented in the city of Krat thanks to the discovery of a revolutionary power source called Ergo underneath it. Inspired by Carlo Collodi's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, Lies of P tells the story of Pinocchio, a robotic puppet who differs from other puppets in his ability to lie, which plays a role during important story decisions. The gameplay of Lies of P has been called ' soulslike' and compared to that of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. The game features a 'Lying System', where the decisions the player makes during certain passages affect the course of events, leading to three different endings. The weapon and crafting system offers 30 different weapon types with 100 combinations. Pinocchio has a mechanical arm that can be equipped with gadgets, such as a grappling hook to lure enemies or a flamethrower. Pinocchio uses an arsenal of weapons such as swords and axes against his enemies and can dodge and block their blows. The player controls the humanoid Pinocchio and travels on foot through the city of Krat, exploring the environment and fighting various biomechanical enemies.

Lies of P is played from a third-person perspective. Downloadable content and a sequel have since been announced. Lies of P received generally positive reviews from critics and had sold one million units by October 2023. It is loosely based on the 1883 Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. The game was released for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on September 19, 2023.
