This award signifies the exceptional quality and innovation demonstrated by the game, as it surpassed the competition and emerged victorious. The other nominees, including the highly acclaimed “Elex II” and the nostalgic “Return To Monkey Island,” were no match for the captivating experience offered by “Lies of P.”

Neowiz, the masterminds behind this gripping RPG, have undoubtedly struck gold with their creation. The intricate storytelling, immersive gameplay, and stunning visuals have captivated the hearts of gamers worldwide, solidifying “Lies of P” as a true gem in the gaming industry.

As the Mac Game of the Year, “Lies of P” has not only showcased its excellence but has also set a new standard for gaming on Apple’s platform. This accolade serves as a testament to the game’s ability to push boundaries and provide players with an unforgettable gaming experience.

With the announcement of the App Store Awards winners for 2023, it is clear that “Lies of P” has left an indelible mark on the gaming landscape. Its gripping narrative, immersive gameplay, and stunning visuals have made it a standout title, earning it the recognition it rightfully deserves.
