How the Estella Opera House Foreshadows Lies of P’s Darkest Twist

WARNING: Major Lies of P Spoilers ahead. Proceed at your own risk. Lies of P, the highly anticipated Soulsborne from developers Neowiz Games and Round 8 Studio, was released to largely positive reviews earlier this week. The title, a dark adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, features a unique and macabre twist on many of the classic German fairy tale’s characters, settings, and major events. While a majority of Lies of P employs environmental and in-game storytelling, some of its biggest plot points are hidden within pre-boss cutscenes, and post-mission debriefs with Geppetto. One such cutscene from the Estella Opera House stands above the others, as it secretly reveals one of the title’s most sinister secrets. Specifically, the scene leading into The Estella Opera House’s main boss battle directly foreshadows Lies of P’s darkest twist.
