Shouldn't the DLC be named Lies of P: Overty?
it seems to me like a grammatical error

Overty is not a word in English language, while Overture means prelude or prologue. Considering we are going back in time before the main story, it seem to fit.

P Overty seems more fit cause after you buy the game and the DLC you'll end up in temporal poverty

Strictly speaking, 'overture' means 'opening', from French 'ouvert' = 'open'.

'Prelude' (literally "fore-play") and 'prologue' (condensed text or action serving as an introduction) are typically more extensive and elaborate steps preceding the main opus or event.

And also: How the heck did you fail to see the joke in OP's title?

I know what overture mean in a strict definition, but clearly it was not meant to be used in it's first definition in the game's title. Besides these words have meanings other than just in music.

And I gotta admit that the joke just didn't click with me. I saw that word poverty, but I just couldn't imagine that someone in dire financial straits who cannot pay their own bills would spend a hundred dollars on a video game (let's say game + dlc) instead of buying something like food or paying to keep the lights on in the house. So it didn't click with me the OP was making a joke that buying video games will cause him to go into poverty. I imagine that not having financial responsibility might allow for such behavior...

Regardless of what I wrote, I don't want to comment on you for making this joke, so don't take it as me saying anything about you personally. Jokes are a matter of taste and even if it didn't click with me, someone else probably liked it.
And when I made my first comment, I really didn't realize it was a joke. So you can just ignore it.

Somebody had to do it.

As I'm sure an earlier poster would point out: 'Enis' isn't a word in the English language. Nor is 'Ussy'.
