Lies of P is a Souls-like game where you do battle against countless puppets. Along the way, you also meet several human characters who are willing to help, but there's a little secret at the end of the campaign, one that allows you to turn all NPCs into puppets in Lies of P. You can also earn two Achievements/Trophies--«Pianist of Krat» and «The Story of One Father»--while you're at it. Likewise, please be reminded that this article contains spoilers.

After the cutscene has finished, check out the NPCs in the area. You'll notice that they've all turned into puppets. Moreover, they refer to P as «Carlo,» perhaps a reference to Carlo Collodi, the author of the Adventures of Pinocchio.

To get the Lies of P «The Story of One Father» Achievement/Trophy, make sure you exhaust all dialogue options when talking to Geppetto throughout the campaign.
