Expect Lies of P Overture DLC To Take A Long Time To Complete Even For Experienced Players
Speaking toGames Radarat the Game Developers Conference (GDC), Choi talked about the game’s length. Choi states, “For an experienced Lies of P veteran, we estimate that [Overture] would take about 15 to 20 hours…It could be more, it depends.”
The developer adds that the DLC completes the Lies of P experience and that both are connected.
“Overture is not a complete separate piece from the base game, and there’s a lot of interconnectivity between the two. So developing the expansion was almost like an effort to complete the Lies of P experience, and that was challenging,” Choi added.
The Overture DLC consists of ideas that were left on the cutting room floor due to time constraints, community feedback, and of course, new stuff. “When we released the base game, we had to prioritize, as we mentioned, to do the best quality, so we couldn’t deliver everything at once because we wanted to make sure what we can deliver has the best quality,. But when we actually released the base game, we also received a lot of great feedback and wonderful fan reception and reaction, and that kind of gave us the chance and opportunity to really deliver everything that we want to deliver in an expansion. It was an idea that was being formed as we developed the base game.”
