Lies of P: Overture's Lumacchio is the Game's Best Stalker Boss, and Neil Newbon is the Cherry on Top

In a game full of grotesque puppets and corrupted monstrosities, Lies of P’s Overture standout isn’t a final boss, but Lumacchio, whose presence fractures every sense of security. Lumacchio stands out because he hunts in psychological pulses and anchors terror in anticipation. He bleeds into the environment with a flicker at the edge of the player’s peripheral vision, a blade that interrupts recovery animations, and a whisper that lets the player feel that they’re not alone in the dimly lit alleys of Krat.
