Explained simply
Lies of P is an action role-playing game developed by a South Korean studio, drawing on the story of Pinocchio and featuring challenging, weapon-based combat. Its reception helped bring attention to the team behind it and to the possibility of a follow-up.
The studio, formerly known as Round8 Studio, is now called Nough, a name formed from “Not Enough”. It has described its approach as putting players at the centre of game design. The sequel is still being developed, and the team’s ambitions matter to fans interested in how it may build on the original.
