"Krat, a city of puppets and groundbreaking technology, invites those courageous enough to step into a twisted but beautiful journey."

Neowiz and Round8's souls-like video game, Lies of P, is loosely based off of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio.

Lies of P has become one of my fixations. The gameplay is fun, the story is excellent, and the worldbuilding and lore are incredible to behold. And the characters, their stories and history, are just as amazing. So, it only made sense to get The Art of Lies of P.

The chapters open with a brief paragraph, but I would have loved if there had been additional commentary here and there throughout the chapters; however, I do love and appreciate how those brief paragraphs were sure to include its connection to Pinocchio.

Definitely recommend for any fan of Lies of P.

Great Game, Great Artbook!
Victorian Aesthetic + Gothic Horror and a little bit of Cosmic Horror.
Wish it had more info about the items and the process of designing characters/weapons, etc., inspired by Carlo Collodi's original story, Pinocchio.

This game. This Art. Everything about Lies of P is a visual masterpiece of storytelling.

I would have wished for more text (developer commentary), especially when the developers always write the most beautiful and profound things. (Then again, being laconic and mysterious is kind of the game's vibe, so...) That being said, I am still over the moon that we even got this gorgeous art book in the first place and am absolutely in love with it. It is humbling to see the level of love and care that went into every little thing in the game. There were many illustrations I had never seen before and I feel really fleshed out the characters and the game's world

If you're a big fan of Lies of P, this art book is an absolute must-buy. <3

4.5 Beatiful artbook! Vey high quality. The only minus can be the lack of creators commentary beside at the beginning of the chapters.

4.5 ⭐️
The 0.5 missing star is only because I would've loved to have more in-depth explanations on the choices of each character or building design, and/or the story or idea(s) behind it ☀️
