You make your way through the dimly lit train car and eventually you’re asked to arm yourself. This is P, he is a puppet, but yet he is different from all of his brethren that are rampaging through the city. Once contact is made, gears churn…the previous lifeless figure is awakened. You start with the image of an ephemeral blue butterfly slowly flying to a slumped figure…harkening it to awaken.

So it is quite fortunate that at this year’s Summer Game Fest, a demo was released giving players a taste of what’s to come in the city of Krat and even more fortunate was the fact we got access to the demo in advance to give us time to fully go through every nook and cranny… I’m not a souls-like guy (normally those games are covered on this site by the fellas of the Pressed for Time Show), but something about Lies of P’s reveal trailer drew me in with it’s twisted Belle Époque setting, eerie clockwork automatons and intense combat cemented the game as a must play.
