New Soulslike Game on Steam Pulls an Uno Reverse Card on Bloodborne and Lies of P

Over the years, gamers have seen a wide range of settings get the soulslike treatment. FromSoftware has explored various medieval periods as well as gothic horror through the genre it pioneered. Anime soulslikes like Code Vein have been released, as have futuristic ones like The Surge. Even Star Wars has played with a few soulslike elements in the excellent Jedi series. And then there’s what is arguably the most impressive attempt yet at a soulslike game yet made by a studio other than FromSoftware: Lies of P, which puts a horrifying spin on Pinnochio lore. All of these games have unique aspects, but all of them share one thing in common: a dark tone than Steam’s Johan is striving to subvert.
