A Nod to Long-Term Support
The "Labor of Love" category is specifically designed for games that have been out for a while but continue to receive nurturing support from their creators. Since its release in September 2023, Lies of P has maintained a strong presence in the Soulslike genre. Whether you're still perfecting your parries against the King of Puppets or exploring the depths of the lore, this nomination pushes to recognize the team's ongoing dedication to the title well past its launch window.
Round8 Studio stated they want to celebrate the journey taken in Krat, inviting fans who have stuck with the game through updates and expansions to make their voices heard on the Steam platform.
How do I nominate Lies of P?
Participating in the Steam Awards is straightforward. You can head over to the official Steam Store page for the game or the Steam Awards landing page. From there, select the "Labor of Love" category and lock in your nomination. The window is tight, however—voting closes on December 1, so if you think the mechanical Pinocchio adventure deserves the hardware, you'll need to act fast.
It is always interesting to see which communities show up the strongest during these open nomination phases. If the Lies of P player base mobilizes, we could see the puppet-slashing RPG take center stage when the winners are eventually announced.
