Description
In this deduction adventure, you play as Lil - an unlikely 12-year-old hero - covering your dad's shift at the guard shed and are tasked with deciding the fate of over 100 unique characters.
You will question humans, elves, goblins, cyclopes, and other fantasy creatures using your powers of deduction to determine who to admit or deny based on how they respond to your questions and your trusty tools. Sending visitors to jail, inadvertently zapping them to smithereens, or letting them go on their merry way are all part of the job. But be careful: who you let through the castle gates will determine the kingdom's fate.
See the Sprawl and its fantastical & quirky citizens through a royal wedding to one of two kingdoms vying for an alliance, and a subsequent siege by whoever you've angered in the process. Your decisions can determine the fate of the city and its people!
Interrogate 100+ fully voiced characters in just the right way to earn a perfect score.
Spend your hard earned gold wisely on powering up your guardsman toolkit, and strategically deploy these to admit or deny the right people or...goblins?
Use your trusty Chronometer3000 to go back and get a higher score... but be careful not to break space and time in the process.

Lil' Guardsman was more a visual novel with options or gate guard simulator than a standard point-and-click adventure. For each person coming to the guard gate, you had nine options: using one of five tools with limited

A really fun and chill deduction-style puzzle game with some great and funny characters! Like me, people might look at this and immediately think of a game like Papers, Please but with a comedic tone. While the

This game was cute. However, after finishing it once I went back to try and see what other outcomes could happen... and realized the game was VERY railroaded. I made some of the same choices but many different ones,

A underrated couch co-op experience because it's so much fun to discuss how to handle each of the zany characters that come before you, and the game does a good job keeping the experience fresh. And unlike its Paper

Lil' Guardsman is an excellent game. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys point and clicks, cosy games or casual puzzle games. The whole game is well presented with a great visual identity and light hearted story.
