1 thing i want to argue: YOU DO NOT NEED TO LIE The whole point of the "humanity" system isn't to lie, it's to comfort the people. Sometimes you need to lie and other times the truth is ok. P only gets humanity points when demonstrating human like traits. So enjoying the arts and comforting people gains points. This is actually a thing in the book, Pinocchio realizes that his nose doesn't always grow and asked the blue fairy why. The blue fairy points out that there are different types of lies ("running lies" i think she mentions?)
I'm not sure about 'running' lies, but comforting someone by telling them something that isn't true but can't be disproven is called a 'white' lie (presumably because it does no harm to anyone and therefore isn't morally 'bad' as lies go), but it *is* still a lie - it is factually not true, and the person telling it is fully aware of that, even if no one else is.
@@FenharelLoser yes I wanted The Golden Lie but certain things I Spoke the honest truth for and noticed P got a tone of humanity for it, I was a bit confused but now seeing your comment I'm certain thata what happened to me so my theory was not wrong
That’s not true, you know you got humanity through the pop up that says stuff like “you’re heart is pounding” or “ergo is reacting”, and these only pop up when you lie, for example telling alidoro about hotel krat doesn’t give any humanity, but on the other hand lying to him gives the pop up message
Your "Surface level" coverage of the story was pretty well in-depth to me. 53:36 I never even noticed this. One cool thing that a lot of other people don't notice is how P's nose grows longer in his shadow on the ground when you're standing next to the Hotel Krat stargazer. This is SO SO SO well made. Pretty much everything someone could want to know about the game is covered. Well done.
Thanks. Yeah also, early game, when P rolls and runs, he makes no noise. If his humanity grows, he starts to grunt when rolling and breathes when he runs. Pretty cool little details.
@@GamingHarryYT did you know that there’s a “dlc” for the ‘fear the spotlight’ game that you covered roughly a year ago? The dlc you play as Amy (the goth girl) this time. That’s all I am going to say to avoid spoiling what the differences between the DLC and original game are
1:04:08 I’ve heard theory’s that P is actually The Tinman and not Pinocchio because of the focus on the heart, as Tinman is focused on getting a heart. But also Nameless Puppet is the real Pinocchio. Also I heard that Giangio might be the Mad Hatter which is also fun. He also might be the P in the title due to his real name be Paracelss
@@EdenMB-w3x I didn’t write it. And it’s doesn’t have to be a hundred percent accurate to the story. In the original story Gepptto created The puppet out of a sentient talking log. With Nameless puppet being made of the original Corpse of his son it can be seen as the same as the log. Don’t shoot the messenger.
There's a lot of crossover between characters because you are technically playing as Carlo not "Pinocchio" but also the two sisters have been theorized to be multiple fairy tale characters like Queen of Hearts and the White Queen, aka Mirana, but Could also be Snow White and Red Rose.
Hidden easter egg: Solve the riddles of the riddle master, if you meet him it's a 1 for 1 reference to the manga Pluto of the first machine that mudered someone (the one with an iron bar pinning it to a wall).
Few Things you missed. 1 there us a note in the abandoned fishing village explaining how a poor guys brother was murdered and his cane/umbrella was stolen and all they found was a strand or 2 of greenish hear, this match with giangio and is the first clue of him not being who he says he is. 2 it is explained either by sofia or in a note that gold coin tries are the dead bodies of listeners people like sofia with a connection to ergo and if you watch closely you can see the trees bear an image of a young woman. 3 in th games gallery after beating it you can see Simon's cane has a lock of blue hear whcih is definitely Sofia's folded like a butterfly likely hinting that was how he controlled ergo through his connection with her.
4:11 I love how you find the Mad Donkey in the 3rd Act of what must have been an equivocal journey of P’s. Which has culminated in cornering the mastermind Geppetto only for said mastermind’s dead son to walk up and stop you.
Gepetto casually condemning the entire population of a huge city to a violent massacre just for a crapshoot attempt that he can resurrect his son is a bit goofy, but I guess the alchemists were plotting something along those lines to begin with so Gepetto was just co-opting their ongoing operation.
I do have something to add to Giangio's segment. One theory that someone else had put foreword and that I think has weight is that Peracelsus was in fact Manus' father. Peracelsus was an immortal, apart of some cabal that seeks to find other immortals and further human evolution. Which was why Manus' father had called him a failure, which propelled Manus to his evil plot, and why Peracelsus was so keen on observing the Krat incident. This cabal is also who made the rooms that you unlock with Arleccino's riddles.
Lies of P has become one of my favorite games and the best one I've played in recent memory. I knew you were working on this but still cool to see you cover it.
You mention that Paracelsus cannot pick the gold fruit, and your theory is a divine reason. However, there's lines that suggest that the tree is actually the body of a Listener, another woman with the powers Sophia has, twisted by the alchemists into this form to create the gold fruit. So MY theory is that some degree of sentience remains, recognizes Paracelsus, hates what he and his fellow alchemists did to her, and opposes him in the only way it can, burning him on contact.
I was really hoping this would show up on the channel and was so happy to see it on my feed. I was feeling really down today so this was a welcoming surprise. I always love seeings peoples Perspective on games I enjoy, this one didn’t disappoint. I hope you had fun exploring the game and learning its story. Can’t wait for the next video and hope you have a wonderful week!
Outside of FromSoft obviously, This is the best Souls game I've played. The only thing I'd recommend for a sequel is to make it a little less linear more branching paths and such, but other than that it was pretty much perfect.
Only thing for me is to get rid of the gold coin fruit thing. I never used it, never cared about it and having the counters constantly ticking in the menu corners like some kind of mobile game drove me crazy. Its a tiny nitpick but its my only gripe!
@@seasnaill2589funny cause I used it all the time, I’m super indecisive and like to try different builds. Just goes to show how different people can be and still enjoy the same thing cause I loved the game and am glad they had a respec system.
@@bobsaget3841 Oh the respec I did once! I just didn't care for the extra currency that was based on real time and only used for 2 things, at that point just make it another Ergo sink.
The danger of branching paths in something that might become a series/franchise is that it increases the plot considerations exponentially going forward if you want them to feel like actual, impactful choices. So in some ways, its linearity might speak to larger long-term plans.
See I loved the linear path. That’s why it’s better than Elden ring in my perspective. Dark souls was 10 times better than Elden ring tho lol. I hate random paths and tedious pointless areas of the game just to make it alittle more expansive. But it’s ppl like you who played Skyrim once and now everything has to be open world
I was so interested in this game when it came out and then I found out it is a Dark Souls type game. I am not into those types of games. Glad someone finally did an explanation video! So for the sequel, I'm calling it now: Pareselsus is going to be the The Great and Powerful OZ. Think about it. OZ was a trickster, hiding his true self behind lies and special effects. When OZ is revealed, he turns out to be a timid human. So this is a bit of a reverse. Pareselsus pretended to be a timid pharmacist, but is really a powerful man behind the scenes.
This came up on my timeline when it first came out. The lore on it and its connection to the source material is so fascinating! I look forward to the sequel! 👏
I was wondering if Harry would cover this game. A souls-like, Indie-developed over a period of years, heavily entrenched in source material allusions and direct nods game like Lies of P only comes around once in a lifetime. From when P wakes up to when his/Carlo's soul leaves his body, this is an intense game from start to finish. And this does not apply to the gameplay alone; the larger story of "humans going beyond natural limits, leading to their own destruction" may be a common dark fantasy thread, but Collodi's Adventures of Pinocchio already lends itself well to exploration of the darker parts of children's souls and human existence as a whole. In a way, Pinocchio was the original "android, of equal or superior human intelligence, struggling between its programmed purpose and what it means to live a HUMAN life". I say this having encountered a Halloween story in the game Twisted Wonderland which explores the same legend, albeit focusing on the Land of Fun/Pleasure Island and the popular characters of the Cat and the Fox, named Gideon and Foul Fellow in Disney's animated villain library. I'd suggest giving this event "Stage in Playful Land: Miraculous Puppets and the Phantom Amusement Park" a look for more Pinocchio related intrigue with more lighthearted fun before the (no less dire) stakes come up. After all, Pleasure Island is the place where lawless fun abounds... but very few can pay the ultimate price of losing everything that makes an individual themselves.
In before watching to say I am SO EXCITED to hear you review this! This is my favorite game in a long time, and actually what got me into listening to horror game lore. 😊
Hey Gaming Harry Love the Vidoe, absolutely love your channel Hope that in the future that you make more FromSoftware gaming lore 🎉🎉🎉 Keep up the good work
I know it would be an extremely long episode, but I would love it if you could explain the lore and story of Destiny and Destiny 2. That is my favourite game of all time. You are the best story teller on this platform
this game is SOOOO underrated 💜💜I love this whole game and its story :) i really hope they do more with this universe Im stuck in the area after the swamp boss, those alchemists are no joke >
Regarding Paracelsus, to understand who he really is, you have to go back to the Old Krat tales. Centuries before the events of the game, an "angel" fall from the sky, this being that the inhabitants of Krat considered has a god, came to earth to give humans the gift of immortality. But the things didn't go well and many people died from the petrification disease, in order to stop that, the inhabitants killed the angel who became the god thorns by death, only his arms remained, this is the arm is the object known as the arm of God. But after this event, some people among humans became immortals, since then these immortals are roaming the world, in order to resurrect this God, Paracelsus is one of this "Eternals", long ago he was an alchemist, he then found the secret to immortality and left the order, a few decades before the events of the game, he gave the alchemists the arm of God, to see if they can with their exepirements do something that can help the Organization to reach its goal, bring the one wing angel back to life.
I've actually been trying to play it for months, but it makes me physically ill from the motion blur (which you can't turn off). Hahaha. So, I don't know... maybe.
Thank you so much for the video - I have huge interest for this game but I also know that I would never be able to play it due to its difficulty. So I’m just enjoying sitting here and listening to the story ❤
I love watching your story explained video essays Looking forward to you branching your content further 😊 (And I also love to compare your takes/ opinions with Gingy, in the rare cases where you two cover the same games)
When you said that Lies of P was loosely based off of the Italian Fairytale Pinocchio, my mind went to RWBY, because there are two characters in that show in Penny Polendina, who is a female version of Pinocchio, and her father/creator Pietro, who is based off of Gepetto. But really, a majority of the characters in RWBY are based off of Fairytale characters while some aren’t like Neon Katt being based off of the Nyan Cat.
"Decapitating a part of nameless puppets head doesnt weaken it it makes it stronger" All i saw was it turning in Yone from LoL who is also my nightmare
I think you should've mentioned Geppeto's final sayings in both the 'good' and 'best' ending. I don't remember quite well since it's been a year, but in the 'good' ending, Geppeto calls P 'a useless puppet' or something similar before he dies. But in the 'best' ending, after P sheds a tear, Geppeto realizes that P was more than a puppet and akin to human. This makes him regret his choices and say 'Sorry, my son' or something similar before he dies.
Here's my theory: Petrification disease slowly turns the body to Kroud, trapping the soul inside and crystallizing it as Ergo (like a bug trapped in amber), thus rendering the sufferer "immortal" in a sense. This obviously is a bit of a drawback, hence why the angel was killed. But it could be that the angel's soul could be preserved as crystallized ergo as well, maybe stored in Golden Ergo, or in the Arm of God, and the alchemists interest in reviving the dead started as them trying to bring the angel back. That also could be why they were intrigued by the puppets: puppets seemingly can have personality based on the ergo inside of them, allowing for another route of "resurrection", as the other method (seemingly) causes a lot of mutations and such Edit: guess Harry agrees with me. What I'm not so clear on is why Ergo seemingly causes petrification disease. By that logic, most war vets should be suffering from the disease, since all people release their ergo on death, yet the disease was first observed in Krat during its golden age. More likely, I think the petrification disease is due to exposure to Kroud (which might be some sort of alien organism instead of actual crystal, hence why petrification disease is contagious), NOT ergo.
So in conclusion - some psychopathic scientist doctors and a inventor who lost his son. Cause it all... But this instead of finding cure then use it to become god or evolve...
Fun fact if you go back later to the puppet where you get the ring for the man you can see she has written in her blood "I love you Julian" I'm not 100% sure when it apears but I think it's when you meet the real Sophia I don't know if you have to have high humanity and pick the "give her peace" option though.

😂 I do hate the Mad Clown Puppet with all my heart too. Everytime I replay the game I almost destroy the controller when facing him.
I never realized that at 4:50 the patrol man's name is "Murphy" and they're a robotic policeman, technically. Similar to Robocop AKA Murphy

I noticed that if you do the stalkers promise gesture to "alidoro" he just shrugs and shakes his head . Gives away who he is early on
Here it is! ❤ Lies of P was my personal GotY 2023
This game was amazing and I really want the next one to come out. Taking an amazingly popular literature piece and adding this dark twist was awesome.
Finally another banger video to watch while I eat!!!!
Can't wait for the dlc or sequel. I love this game.
Perfect timing I just started it
Yoo Harry sick! Thanks for this
the final boss fight has to be the greatest "lock in" moment for me cant wait for the dlc and apparently a second game tease too cant wait.
Awesome job bro!!..Respect!!!

Shoutout to whoever that guy was that was helping in all the boss fights
This was my favorite souls-like made so far. This studio did such an amazing job.
this game is SOOOO underrated 💜💜I love this whole game and its story :) i really hope they do more with this universe
Im stuck in the area after the swamp boss, those alchemists are no joke >
I Cant wait to watch this peak im half way through the game once i finish it im gonna binge on ur video.✌
Truly a fascinating setting. A cool mix of clockwork and magical elements.
I'm so glad there is another installment
. I miss these so much. You have got to do the SH2 remake
It’s been awhile I’m glad this video popped up I have a lot of catching up to do
Waited for that video about lies of pi🎉

@GamingHarryYT ooof that rough. Understandable tho. Don't force yourself. I always like to watch/listen your videos when I work.
@@GamingHarryYTI get this. I rarely get motion sickness but it happened to me playing Dying Light so I never finished 😅
The first Souls like I platinum
Right, the "Lies" in the Wizard of Oz is also very prominent to the story.
Still haven't played this but cannot wait until I can. They really did a good job on the lore of the this game
Wow, super interesting game! I'd love to see more from this developer, they did an amazing job on this one.
didn't notice twas your 1st Souls-like on the channel😅 my bad, that time I'm a fan🎉❤
Thank you so much for the video - I have huge interest for this game but I also know that I would never be able to play it due to its difficulty. So I’m just enjoying sitting here and listening to the story ❤

I love watching your story explained video essays
Looking forward to you branching your content further 😊

Alright. I'll go play lies of p again
Question: So the Alchemists were around for 600 years? Not sure about the timeline
Or where did they get the arm and shit
Apparently Paracelsus gifted them the arm of god and they let him join the alchemists. As for specific timelines, I’m not sure…
Woo i love this

Is the music at the end of the video from the soundtrack? If so then it's amazing
Man... i really wanna watch this... but i save it for later. I actually wanna play game first. Keep up the good work.

All i saw was it turning in Yone from LoL who is also my nightmare
I think you should've mentioned Geppeto's final sayings in both the 'good' and 'best' ending. I don't remember quite well since it's been a year, but in the 'good' ending, Geppeto calls P 'a useless puppet' or something similar before he dies. But in the 'best' ending, after P sheds a tear, Geppeto realizes that P was more than a puppet and akin to human. This makes him regret his choices and say 'Sorry, my son' or something similar before he dies.
Damn I just played the game but now that I am hearing and understanding the game story I am kinda sad for Romeo and Carlo
great video!
one note, in italian you read "ch" as you read "k" in english
both in pinocchio and arlecchino
Here's my theory:
Petrification disease slowly turns the body to Kroud, trapping the soul inside and crystallizing it as Ergo (like a bug trapped in amber), thus rendering the sufferer "immortal" in a sense. This obviously is a bit of a drawback, hence why the angel was killed. But it could be that the angel's soul could be preserved as crystallized ergo as well, maybe stored in Golden Ergo, or in the Arm of God, and the alchemists interest in reviving the dead started as them trying to bring the angel back. That also could be why they were intrigued by the puppets: puppets seemingly can have personality based on the ergo inside of them, allowing for another route of "resurrection", as the other method (seemingly) causes a lot of mutations and such
Edit: guess Harry agrees with me. What I'm not so clear on is why Ergo seemingly causes petrification disease. By that logic, most war vets should be suffering from the disease, since all people release their ergo on death, yet the disease was first observed in Krat during its golden age. More likely, I think the petrification disease is due to exposure to Kroud (which might be some sort of alien organism instead of actual crystal, hence why petrification disease is contagious), NOT ergo.
Oh harry...yes just tell me every damn story you can write a script for
So in conclusion - some psychopathic scientist doctors and a inventor who lost his son. Cause it all... But this instead of finding cure then use it to become god or evolve...
Great watch 🫡
Badass video, I wish we had more lore, I can't wait for the dlc n part 2 if they make ond
I was just waiting for the phrase "would you kindly" to pop up
7:00 it would be really cool to find out that P himself was the Puppet King but gave himself amnesia to infiltrate the humans
I know how you feel when fighting the mad clown puppet
Fun fact if you go back later to the puppet where you get the ring for the man you can see she has written in her blood "I love you Julian" I'm not 100% sure when it apears but I think it's when you meet the real Sophia I don't know if you have to have high humanity and pick the "give her peace" option though.
he do be lying, but he also be truthing
A pretty intriguing plot plus setting tbh. Thanks for the vid! Lore and Order is awesome by all means. Kudos, and keep it going!
Man I remember when you said you were working on this and it felt so long ago now 😅
I was waiting for this 😂😂😂😅
