He may not be a real boy, but he's made a great first impression.

, a barrier-to-entry that's kept me from playing the Lovecraftian death grinder to this very day.

Lies of P takes place in Krat, placing you in the shoes of an Elizabethan construct—a puppet—whose long curly hair and dainty looks are pulled straight from the pages of Twilight fanfiction. A petrification disease is ravaging its way through Krat's denizens, its guard puppets have gone on a rampage, and it's up to you and a mechanised cricket to get to the bottom of things.

The demo has shown the game to be a convincing replica of the real deal, with enough ambitious twists inside that I'm not even seeing the strings. It runs well, flaunts a surprising amount of gameplay for a preview—I clocked about 3 hours—and adds a few new mechanics to keep things fresh. You're able to mix-and-match weapon handles with their business ends to tinker with their stats, and one adjustment—the ability to scrape back your last healing item after dealing enough damage—has me wishing it was a genre staple. Lies of P even pulls some DNA from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, with an emphasis on parrying chains of attacks over frantic dodge rolls.Game Pass inclusion, letting people get their mitts on something they'd otherwise dismiss as a carbon copy is paying off.
