A Comic in 9 Panels

He thinks: What have I done?
Panel 2: He holds his head in his hands “I killed her.
I know I killed her…
Panel 3: He begins to sob into his hands.
…sob…
Panel 4: A lady in a bonnet walks up and begins to talk to him, but is abruptly cut off as the man jerks his head up and begins demanding an answer.
Lady: All done. Do you want to see the baby?
Guy: IS MY WIFE ALRIGHT?
Panel 5: the man doesn’t wait for a response and rushes past her leaving her confused
Lady: Um, she’s…
Panel 6: the guy pushes open the door slowly with a creak. His wife is sitting up in bed smiling down at the newborn in her arms
Panel 7: the guy, puzzled, holds a baby wrapped in cloth.
Wife: This is your son…
Panel 8: a healthy baby wrapped up snugly, eyes closed.
Panel 9: The guy pulls the newborn to his cheek and begins celebrating
Guy: IT’S A BOY! A REAL BOY!
Wife: Pinocchio, darling what are you saying?
Guy: Nothing, nothing…
Never played Lies of P. Does that mean the actual title is Lies of Pinocchio? Or just a joke?
Lies of P is the full title, but the P does stand for Pinocchio, who you play as. It’s set in a city with lots of puppets, basically robots, that do the labor. I believe Pinocchio is a special puppet because he can lie and disobey humans. He/you use that to go on a Bloodbornesque tour of the city, fighting everything along the way. Haven’t played it myself, just heard good things and saw part of it mentioned in a video essay.
Oh snap! I’ll check it out! I need a new game to play
It’s not bad but it’s not as good as its inspirations- sekiro is much more satisfying.
Honestly I’m just looking for a buzz after Elden Ring destroyed my future expectations for RPG games…
It’s a linear game, but I enjoyed it a lot. Not sure if the parrying is more forgiving or if the timing for parrying is just more direct, but I found it a lot easier to get into the rythmn compared to sekiro.
