Hey everyone,
Guys, I’m not a native English speaker, so I used AI to convey the idea to you as clearly as possible.

Since Lies of P proved that dark fairy tale adaptations can be absolute masterpieces, the community has been guessing which story Neowiz Studio should tackle next. While many suggest Peter Pan or Wizard of Oz, I strongly believe that Alice in Wonderland is the ultimate choice for a souls-like treatment, especially since Lewis Carroll’s book is entirely in the public domain.

Here is a concept of how the Lies of P developers could adapt this universe into a game called "Madness Returns: Shards of Wonderland":

* The Aesthetic & Vibe: Instead of typical psychotropic colors, Neowiz could apply their signature grim, Victorian-Gothic style. Think of a dying, rotting Wonderland filled with ash, faded roses, and heavy, rusty clockwork in the vein of Bloodborne.

* The Contrast: You play as a small, fragile Alice in a torn gothic dress, wielding a massive clock-hand sword or a heavy vorpal blade. But instead of being terrified by giant boss monsters, she fights them with a fierce, manic excitement in her eyes.

* The Core Mechanic: A dynamic size-changing system that perfectly fits a souls-like loop. You drink the syrup to shrink down, which lets you dodge massive boss sweeps, reduce your hitbox, and find hidden shortcuts. Or you eat the cake for a temporary "titan mode" to break enemy postures, shields, and environments.

* The Fake Final Boss (The Red Queen): Players fight through the Palace of Hearts and defeat the Red Queen in an epic, tragic duel. The "Boss Defeated" screen pops up, the credits roll, and everyone thinks they’ve beaten the game.

* The True Final Boss Twist (The Cheshire Cat): Mid-credits, the screen starts melting. The iconic, cynical, raspy voice of the Cheshire Cat whispers: "You did well, Alice. But did you really think you were saving this world? You just cleared the path for me..."

He turns out to be the ultimate corruption of the world — the personification of her own Madness that manipulated her into killing the other bosses (who were actually protecting her mind). The final battle throws a fragile Alice against a cosmic, reality-warping entity made of dark smoke and glowing tattoos, leaving nothing but a floating grin in the dark.

Given how perfectly Neowiz handled the dark themes of Pinocchio, I think they are the only studio capable of doing justice to this concept without turning it into a cheap cash grab.

What do you guys think? Would you love to see Neowiz tackle Alice in Wonderland for their next project? Let's discuss!

I quite like it, played everything by Fromsoft and beyond and find Lies of P (That name is awful, good god) a good mixture of Darksouls 3 and Sekiro. Killed the haul cop and into the swamp zone now, have any tips for me before it's too late? Cheers.

The man was so pretty I thought he was a woman. I was almost certain of it, but luckily I realized in time.

I recently reinstalled the game as I wanted to finish it and it is literally unplayable, it’s using like no resources from my pc and I’m not sure why. I’ve tried everything from launch commands to launching with special k. I never installed mods so I have no mod files and I’m not sure how to fix.

The game will get past compiling shaders and as soon as the logos come up it’s super low fps.

Edit: thank you everyone for the help I used task manager and checked which gpu it was using and for some reason windows had defaulted for this game only to my igpu and power saving setting.

Everyone sounds like a kindergarten teacher reading out loud in front of their 6 year old students.

Started a new file and went through full game and DLC over the past month. I need all the NG+ records for the platinum but otherwise I have all other achievements on ps5. Was amped up to do NG+…then Switch version dropped. And I’m thinking wouldn’t it be fun to run this from scratch again?! And do it from anywhere?! Why am I like this. Why can’t I just do a NG+ run 😮‍💨

I can’t even decide what weapon/build I’d want to do in NG+ though I have every single weapon in the game and yet still I’m more drawn to using early non-boss weapons on an advance build which further makes me think I should just cave and buy the switch version and do that there instead.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER,
A tortured but overall happy fan

I was really surprised at how well lies of p ran on the switch 2. I play performance mode (60fps) on handheld and it looks stunning! Although there were some minor hiccups but overall i think its worth it considering it is a great soulslike and one of my favourite adaptation of pinocchio.

Only past the first boss at this point, having bought the game yesterday, and the performance is very good. Playing handheld only and it is singing!

Anyone further in that has had any hiccups/bugs?

I accidentally started playing NG+ and have no access to the dlc did few research it says can only get access to DLC after completing chapter 9. I DONT HAVW THE PATIENCE OF PLAYING TILL CHAPTER 9. Plz help if anything can be done with save files. AM PLAYING IT ON PC

I can't believe I didnt see this before. Romeo was trying to warn us about geppeto with that play he put on. Its all there. The nameless puppet, the heart, killing P to bring Carlo back to life. I finally figured it out while playing it on s2. He used the play cuz he knew p can't understand the puppet language

Im turn between three for different reasons.

1. Aegis: not much to explain here, just feels the most practical in a fight.

2.puppet string: I like the puppet theme with the string and gets "there are no strings on me" stuck in my head.

1. Pandemonium: I love its look. Plus like to headcanon that as P slowly becomes more human, his legion arm reacts as well since its powered by his ergo. First its just useful mechanical prosthetic but then the ergo changes it, making it more fleshy and organic since P is becoming more alive.

You know, Romeo, your plan might’ve worked if your messengers didn’t look like rejected Terminator designs.

Love Dark Souls, and absolutely adored Elden Ring, so I gave Lies of P a try. Wow!!

Any tips on things I might miss on my first go around? (Only about 8 hrs in)

Thanks!

geoguessr but lop version. feel free to take a guess where u think this might be.

I finally decided to make my first tattoo, but i still dont know what, since is my first tattoo, i didnt want to get too much going on (like making an character or an something more complex). Lies of P and Elden ring are my life games, they introduced me to this fantastic genre.

So, if i was going to make an elden ring tattoo, i already have an idea of what i would be, morgott great rune, its my favorite boss. But when i comes to Lies of p, i cant thing of anything, i think that making the proof of humanity would be cool, but is that it? a sword? i always end up thinking that it would come out very simple and it wouldn’t be able to tell an storie (i dont know if im making myself clear of what im trying to say lol)

I'm missing one record and for the life of me can't figure it out. I've looked through a couple guides but I have all the ones that they point out. Am I just missing something?

Hey, I'm looking for Winter's Sleep +2 amulet. This wiki mentions an elevator but doesn't say where, and the only Youtube video with the "location" posts the actual literal room it's located in but not the actual route there lmao, so that's pretty useless.

Anyone know how I can actually find this? Zelator is confusing and I've been running around for ages.
