Developer Letter
Hello citizens of Krat, It's Choi Ji Won, the director of Lies of P.
On behalf of our development team, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every player who has taken the time to play our game.
There are many things we would like to discuss, but today, we wanted to share our plans for the future.
We have received numerous feedback and bug reports from our players, and we're working hard to address them through an update.
As gamers ourselves, we understand how frustrating it can be when a game doesn't work as it should. Rest assured, we're preparing an update to address those issues while maintaining the stability of the game.
Furthermore, we promise to share additional details on the upcoming update very soon, once they have been finalized.
In addition, we will be providing a roadmap of the contents planned for Lies of P as soon as it is ready.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
Notice - Game Crashes and Unexpected Closing
Hello from the Lies of P Team.
We have received reports from our users regarding issues such as game crashes and unexpected shut-downs during gameplay. First and foremost, we would like to apologize to all the players who have experienced inconveniences while playing Lies of P.
After conducting a meticulous review and investigation of the reported cases, we have identified various factors causing these problems. As of now, most of the game crashes including the 'LowLevelFatalError' can be resolved through a integrity verification process.
We recommend players experiencing game crashes to undergo a integrity verification test as instructed on the Steam Notice. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/5814-D9A3-BE42-62DF
In addition to the integrity verification, we also kindly ask players to make sure the graphic drivers and BIOS are updated.
We understand the frustration and inconvenience this may cause, but we strongly encourage you to try the above solutions. If the issue persists even after following the instructions, please contact us at lop_support@neowiz.com along with your crash files. We promise to take a further look into them.
Thank you, The Lies of P Team.

Currently, we have identified a bug that can halt the game's progression in Chapter 2. We sincerely apologise to everyone who has encountered this issue. As we investigate how we can fix/prevent this issue we would like to recommend the following guidelines to prevent this bug.
- Before defeating the Chapter 2 Boss the 'Scrapped Watchman', if the players attempt to enter locked rooms within Hotel Krat a game-breaking bug may occur preventing further game progression
