How does this theme of lying correlate to the story and sort of the world at large? So the lying is key point of anything about our game." Even in the loading screen, we're talking about now lying. And something else that runs through the world and through the story themes is this theme of lying." So we made it darker and even grotesque to the game. So when we took the theme of Pinocchio, we wanted to focus on the dark side of it and adding our colors. " And if you look into it, it's also for adults, not only for children. So if you look into original Pinocchio, it's already pretty dark than you think." Could you talk a bit more about this darker take on Pinocchio and how that's going to be sort of in the world?

So we wanted to give new vibe and new atmosphere to the users and players to give, to show more sides of it." Could you talk a bit about that and how that translates into the wider world of the game and from a visual design point? So the steampunk or Victorian era were already used too often in the games or other movies. " It's more sort of got that French influence.

A lot of people look at this game, they think it's sort of set in the Victorian era, when actually, as a history book myself, it's more Belle Époque." Basically, we're chatting here with the game director and the first thing I want to kick off with is actually a bit of a misconception. I'm Alex with Gamereactor and we've just checked out Lies of P.
