Lies of P - The Complete Story Explained | Lies of P Lore

I love that you mentioned some stuff in the lore that most others don’t mention. It makes it far more interesting than just recounting the main story to pad view time

27:01 Thank you for pointing this out! Too many people give Geppetto a pass for what he did because 'he missed his son and it was out of love' and they don't realize how at the end of the day, he only wanted to make himself feel better. Rather than reflect on his actions and let his son rest in peace, he chose to defile him (both his body and his memory) and 'fix' him into his own version. He didn't love Carlo, he loved the IDEA of Carlo. And in turn he only valued the idea of P, which is why he rejected P the moment he didn't obey his command. Geppetto was never a good man, he was just good at pretending.

Lies of Peak is my second favorite game of 2023... It's amazing

You could have talked about Camille, Carlo's mother. Her ergo was put into a maid puppet. She made the Saintess Statue.

Lies Of P is just breathtaking. I almost missed it! Whew that was close!

This is an incredibly done work and I'm inspired to say why. I often appreciate the world-building and storycraft more than the mechanics of souls-likes, so I seek out these distilled narrative pieces. This is truly the gold standard of lore videos, and I hope future contributors to the genre use this as inspiration when crafting their own work. Your narrative was concise, you identified the driving relationships between characters and the factions, and your choice of accompanying footage and cutscenes were dynamic and non-repetitive, which is a pitfall a lot of novice documentarians succumb to. A lot of these more complex narrative games do force players to grapple with philosophical concepts, which means that secondhand retellings can get caught up in their attempt to describe all avenues of interpretation, often to the detriment of the story. But good stories use vagueness as a tool. You and your team did an excellent job understanding that principle, and weaved the questions of agency and uncomfortable truth in a very non-distracting way. Good lore summaries require excellent storytellers. For the sake of art, I hope everyone involved in this piece keeps expressing their creative minds.

Subscribed initially for MtG stuff, but this game was so much fun! Glad y'all are covering it.

You deserve more subs! This video is beautifully made! Lies of P deserves more love and I cant wait for what Neowiz cooks up next.

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I would like to see more regarding characters met in Lies of P, like the sisters, or Venigni, or Alidoro and the people from the cave at the swamp. Great video, subscribed :)

I wasnt interested in this game when it first came out but damn, you made me realize how beautiful it is

I'm on ng+4 and 1 boss away from the platinum trophy :) it's a masterpiece

Damn you didn’t cover the post credit scene where we discover he may be the Tinman in another character’s story

Because of this video, I'm definitely going to play it for myself now! The way you told it's story, WOW!

I was heavily biased on Spider-Man 2 being my favorite game of last year but I finished this once the new year started and what a way to bring in the new year. Shot up to my top 10 no contest

such an amazing video. loved every second of it!! no joke

What a cool story. It can go real dark or real hopeful and almost fairytale-like with those endings.

Coming in blind to a game’s lore this time around. Thank you! For some reason, around 4:30 I was expecting to see the hand of Adyr lol.

This is a great summary!! Thanks

Great vid. Just played it. Story makes the gameplay worthwhile.

So it's Bloodborne meets Stephen Spielberg's A.I even down to the Pinocchio theme
