Lies of P transformed me into a deadly but soulless puppet

Becoming human is central to Lies of P, but I didn’t expect puppet protagonist P to feel so lifeless. He is mute (contrary to other puppets) and does whatever’s expected of him without question. While P can perhaps get away with being so wooden, the game’s world and human characters feel as stiff as their marionette protector, and that’s more of an issue.

When you rescue Gepetto from an inevitable death at the start of Lies of P, he’s perfectly calm and happy to see you, rather than shaken from having been hunted down by a Mad Donkey. It’s the same for the others you rescue. They all navigate the crumbling city of Krat like it’s a walk in the park, emotionless and dull. Maybe they’re all puppets, too.
