The Lie System is a game mechanic in Lies of P. During the course of the game, Pinocchio will be given the option to either lie or tell the truth when speaking with certain characters. This will determine how dialogue and quests play out with characters. Lying will also change P's appearance as he gains humanity and becomes a real boy. Lying or telling the Truth also results in different rewards for the player such as collectibles, items, and weapons. More importantly, it also determines what Endings the player will receive.
