Whoa, so here’s a crazy thing I stumbled upon while doom-scrolling Twitter, you know how it is. Lies of P, this action-packed RPG that’s somehow both like a puppet show and a gritty adventure game—don’t ask how—has sold over three million copies. Yeah, let me say that again: three million.
Anyway—or wait, should I say “back to the point”?—this little tidbit popped up on June 20th, straight from the game’s official account. So, I’m thinking, this announcement’s coinciding with the launch of some DLC, called Overture. On June 6th, which was like, what, a couple of weeks before they hit that three million mark? And oh man, it was the seventh highest on Steam. Not too shabby, right?
Now, here’s the kicker. This original game, Lies of P or whatever, dropped back in September 2023. Feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago at the same time. But how many folks grabbed the Overture DLC specifically? No idea. They’re keeping that under wraps, those sneaky devs.
So here’s this cheeky tweet from the developers: “Three million puppets or three million humans?” Part of me thinks they were being philosophical—like, who even knows? But really, the vibe is just: Live your best life at Krat, people. We’re all grateful or something. Heartfelt thanks all around, they say.
And now I’m thinking about whether I’m more puppet or human after reading this. But whatever. Here’s to three million ‘staycations’ in some fantasy world. Cheers.
