Lies of P's deluxe edition early access release hit a Steam hiccup, but it's live now
Soon we will all be Pinocchio. Lies of P releases on September 18, and we say it's a pretty good time. Our reviewsays the Pinocchio Soulslike "pulls off its gritty Pinocchio retelling, managing the impossibility of incorporating elements from both the folktale and the 1940 film without feeling, y'know, absurd."
Those who ordered the digital deluxe edition of Lies of P get a jump on the release date and can start playing, well, right now. While the early access period was meant to start at 8 am PDT on September 15, it was delayed by an hour and 15 minutes due to "technical issues from Steam's end," according to developer Neowiz. That issue has now been resolved, but if you're still having trouble downloading Lies of P, Neowiz recommends clearing your Steam download cache.
Lies of P is playable for early access pre-orders right now, but the rest of us will have to wait. Here's when Pinocchio will start lying in full force.
