With an immersive Edwardian-style steampunk fantasy world, Lies of P takes its players on a wild journey. However, gamers are interested in how immersed they can get in this Soulslike adventure. Can you make your character look like you, putting you straight in the action? Or does Lies of P have more structured ideas about what the main hero should look like?
Can you create a custom Pinnochio character?
Unlike many other Soulslike games, there is no character creation in Lies of P. You spend the entire game as the very well-defined main character — Pinocchio. As Pinocchio, you have a fixed appearance. So, if you were hoping to make your character look different from the bouncy-haired hero from the trailers, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
However, you do get a lot more backstory on your hero. That’s the plus side of a curated main character versus a custom one. Pinocchio’s established origins will feel more integral and immersed in the overall narrative, even if the character’s body and face can’t be customized.
Can you customize your outfits in Lies of P?
While your character — Pinocchio — stays the same, you can individualize your hero in Lies of P with your fashion choices. As you play throughout the game, you’ll find an array of outfits, from casual wear to fancy suits. Relying on your personal style, you can use the clothes Lies of P gives you to make your Pinocchio feel more custom. Between hats, masks, and full-piece outfits, fashion will have to be the way you express yourself.
And if you truly dislike looking at Pinocchio’s original face, all it takes is putting a clever and beautifully decorated mask on Pinocchio’s face. Then you can pretend you got to customize your character the way you wanted.
