A dark Pinocchio-inspired action RPG, Lies of P, hits its lowest price at 50% off on Steam through July 25. The soulslike title has sold 3+ million copies and earned a lot acclaim for its gameplay style.

Lies of P is an action-RPG from Neowiz and Round8 Studio, and it is now available at its lowest price to date - 50% off ($29.99 on Steam) until July 25, 2025. If you've been following its price history, this is a major drop from the standard $59.99 launch price and matches the steepest recorded discount for the title since its release in September 2023.

Lies of P reimagines the story of Pinocchio as a dark, Belle Époque-inspired action RPG set in the city of Krat. Players control the puppet "P," whose quest for humanity unravels against a backdrop of mechanical puppets run amok and an epidemic referred to as the "Petrification Disease". Gameplay is defined primarily by its soulslike combat - methodical, challenging, and heavily inspired by titles such as Bloodborne. Rich with modular weapon customization, a lie-versus-truth morality system (that branches narrative paths and endings), and immersive multi-phase boss fights, Lies of P cements itself as a demanding single-player experience with multiple replay incentives.

Upon launch, Lies of P retailed at $59.99 and has maintained that as a baseline, with only occasional, modest discounts during seasonal sales. We also covered a 40% discount on the game back in June. However, as mentioned earlier, the current 50% discount is the lowest the game has been offered at, which also coincides with the release of the "Overture" DLC last month.

Let's talk reviews. Lies of P has drawn a lot of praise from both critics and players for its gothic atmosphere, world design, and nuanced combat system. Major outlets have been very positive regarding its unique adaptation of the Pinocchio myth and the quality of its boss design, though some gripes regarding spikes in difficulty and a lack of variety have also been voiced. User reviews on Steam currently reflect a "Very Positive" sentiment. Over 3 million copies have been sold as of mid-2025, and the game has received nominations at The Game Awards and the Golden Joystick Awards.

For those who appreciate atmospheric, challenging action RPGs, and especially those intrigued by narrative choices - the current 50% off deal is hard to beat. Lies of P gives you a substantial single-player campaign, and consistent post-launch support. You can read more about it on the Steam store page here.
