I think I can explain why Geppetto did what: Simon's plans involved massive amounts of Ergo, but there are indications through documents and dialogue that indicate that the Ergo was running out, as the alchemists were delivering shipments of weaker Ergo over time. Both Geppetto and Simon's plans require massive amounts of Ergo, and there wasn't enough left for either of them, nevermind both. And where does Ergo come from? People. So, the frenzy was about getting enough Ergo to make the plan work.

I love how consistently bad a father Gepetto is shown. We get a sense of it through some item descriptions that Gepetto is an absent father always focusing on more important things. Also, props to the voice actor for making it seem like whenever he tells us that he cares for us and that we are precious to them, it always rang hollow. Then in the Happily Ever After ending, dude just up and left us all alone, off to do more of his own thing and leaving us with nothing but subservient puppetized version of the Hotel Krat crew.

I want to think that part of the reason why the people of Krat loved the puppets is that, well, the time period this takes place is actually pretty awful for the ordinary laborer. Work for ordinary people was often dirty, demeaning, and/or dangerous, with bosses who don't care if you die. So, having something that kept the poor from being forced to do those jobs would likely be seen as a good thing. These aren't workers being deprived of their livelihood, but the poor being kept from living lives bordering on slavery.

Honestly making games based off fairy tales into a souls like game is actually very interesting. I would love if they continue to do games like this like, imagine one based off Peter Pan in Neverland, that would be so cool. Like imagine like one of the endings turns you into Captain hook and the whole premise about being about a cycle. Idk after seeing this, the potential is there.

Arlecchino's state, pinned and wired to a wall with his body impaled, is likely a reference to Brau 1589 from the manga/anime Pluto. In it, Brau was the first robot to ever kill a human, and the fact that he could despite being 3 Laws compliant makes him genuinely terrifying in-universe, because it makes no sense that he could kill a human in spite of there being no faults in his AI.

In regards to the whole puppet frenzy thing. We know that Ergo is basically human souls and memories as a form of energy that can be crystallized, we also know that Ergo seems also capable of granting wishes under the correct circumstances albeit the explanation is vague (I mean Ergo also manipulates time so it’s not out of the question). With that said, it could be that Geppetto possibly went insane in his grief over his son dying and, armed with the knowledge of how Ergo works as well as his craftsmanship and insight on probably everything that goes on in Krat (including the Alchemists and how Sophia is being used by them), Geppetto waited for the Grand Exhibition to take place so that not only could the people of Krat be attacked, but also visitors as well, where they can be killed and used to farm huge amounts of Ergo because we know it’s not only the bosses who’s Ergo is extracted but also just about any Ergo in the environment as there’s different concentrations of it. Geppetto, as the craftsman of the puppets, was in the best position to know all sorts of things because of the role he would play in Krats society. He also made Romeo king of the puppets without Romeo or any of the puppets knowing it as a way of maintaining secrecy so that he’s not exposed with law 0 possibly being a hidden law unknown to both humans and puppets, only Geppetto. Part of me thinks that Carlo’s death was between the creation of the first puppet (the nameless puppet) and the creation of the Grand Covenant because it’s known that in the world of Lies of P, the Adventures of Pinocchio, or at least a variation of the fairy tale, exists that seems to have inspired Geppetto to create the puppets which is supported by Gemini’s dialogue. This of course meant that Geppetto spared little time for his actual son Carlo who grew to resent Geppetto for it as he would become a Stalker and then die by some unknown causes (possibly killed by Arlecchino) with Geppetto possibly making his plot to revive Carlo around the time the Grand Covenant was created as he implants law 0 into it. Geppetto then creates Pinocchio in preparation for this night as he knew that once all hell broke loose, there wouldn’t be time or safety to make a puppet like Pinocchio who will go out, fight, collect Ergo, and experiences in an effort to prepare the heart for a revived Carlo. He also probably gambled on Sophia awakening him because he possibly knows of her abilities thanks to the Alchemists, or he assumed that given enough time, the Ergo in the environment would awaken him. The reason why I say that he gambled on Sophia awakening Pinocchio as well as Sophia in general is because Geppetto seems to know a lot about the Alchemists so it makes sense if he knew about Sophia and what she could do
The puppets going crazy and acting wild could be a result of the contradiction formed by law 0 conflicting with the other grand covenant laws

I think the puppet frenzy accomplishes everything Geppetto wanted to achieve
In order for Geppetto to revive his son with all the qualities of a human, he needed Ergo to power P’s golden heart. He knew this ergo could not be obtained quickly without notice or question. He needed a conflict to emerge which would put the city in jeopardy, distracting everyone so the ergo could be collected, even if the means were violent. Given Geppetto had control of the puppets with law 0, What better conflict than the puppet frenzy. Creating the puppet king, organizing the puppets to kill humans, corralling all the ergo in the city to a few places for P to clear serves as the perfect scenario for Geppetto.
Not to mention, he needed to give P a reason to hunt the puppets and petrificated zombies for ergo. The puppets mindlessly killing people without reason makes for a good cause to destroy them, much more to destroy the king himself. You don’t need to have a good understanding of ergo to break the puppets, you are doing it for the common good.This along with the strength of quartz and the constant encouragement to end the crisis further proves this theory.
With P collecting Ergo from the crisis to bolster the hearts energy without qualm makes for a good scheme wouldn’t you say
Though I will say I don’t think Geppetto expected Simon Manus to take over the crisis as he did, hence why he was suprised and genuinely interested in ending the petrification disease.
Makes you wonder what type of stuff Geppetto actually thinks about. He will sacrifice millions for his son but will save another million for the good of Krat. He will kill someone in cold blood but mourn unrelated deaths. How does he truly weigh decisions and morales.

Gepetto being the villain reminded me of the comic Fables (of which The Wolf Among Us is a video game adaptation) in which Gepetto basically becomes the evil emperor due to people asking him to replace troublesome monarchs etc. with puppets which of course he ultimately controls he also captures the blue fairy and drains her to fuel his puppets

Just so you know, the three taps Dorothy does at the end is to show that she IS the one from the Wizard of Oz. It's a direct line: "Tap/click your heels together three times and say 'there's no place like home.'"
