Lies of P, the Dark Souls-flavored RPG starring Pinocchio, will get a big expansion later this year in the form of Overture. To complement the new content, the game will receive a free update at around the same time, introducing a Boss Rush mode, a "Battle Memories" mode that will let us tweak the difficulty settings of the game's boss battles, and—uncontroversially—two new difficulty modes.
When the free update drops in summer, Lies of P will get not one but two new easier difficulty modes, named 'Butterfly's Guidance' and 'Awakened Puppet'. This flies against conventional Soulslike logic, though for exactly what reason depends on who you ask. For Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki himself, overcoming insurmountable odds is "a fundamental part of the experience. Turning down difficulty would strip the game of that joy—which, in my eyes, would break the game itself".
