Geppetto's Workshop

Lore & Background

Geppetto's actions are responsible for the entire puppet uprising that desolates the fictional city of Krat. He entrusts his creation P to enter the chaos to gather strength and retrieve an artifact in Simon's possession to enact a sinister resurrection plot for his deceased son, Carlo. The workshop is where Geppetto conceives and directs this plan, making it the epicenter of the game's central conflict. As one of two main antagonists, Geppetto uses this space to manipulate events from the shadows, sending P into the city's ruins while remaining hidden himself. The workshop thus symbolizes both Geppetto's genius as a craftsman and his moral corruption, a place where paternal love curdles into a desperate, destructive scheme.
