Once Simon Manus, the boss, is defeated, take the elevator down to the base of the tower. In the center of the chamber, Geppetto will be waiting for you. Geppetto will offer P the opportunity to become a real boy. Decide whether to sacrifice P's heart to obtain one of the game's endings.

After watching the post-credits scene, a prompt will appear asking if you would like to begin a New Game Plus run. It is advised not to switch to New Game Plus. Instead, it is recommended that you continue with your current run so that you can respawn at Hotel Krat.

Playing the piano post-campaign with a specific ending reveals an intriguing Easter egg.

Achieving "The Story of One Father" Achievement/Trophy in Lies of P requires thorough exploration of dialogue options during conversations with Geppetto throughout the campaign. After successfully transforming all occupants of Hotel Krat into puppets during the conclusion of the game, proceed to Geppetto's room on the upper floor. Inside, you will discover Geppetto's Letter which, upon reading, grants you this Achievement/Trophy.

To ensure full completion, make sure to thoroughly read all the pages found within Geppetto's Letter. This action is key to transforming all NPCs within Hotel Krat into puppets in Lies of P. It is interesting to note that additional collectibles or secrets are not necessary to unlock this specific Easter egg.
