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.

I'm disappointed. But first, the most important part, options. There are music and sound sliders. Fullscreen mode can be turned off, so I can play in a window, and there are various resolutions to choose from. That

At first, I thought it would just be a simple “decide who gets into the castle” kind of game, but it quickly turned into something way more engaging. It is about a 12-year-old girl who has to take over her dad’s job as

A more comedic take on a "Papers, Please!" style game. The fate of the whole kingdom lies on a 12 year old, hilarity and depending on your choices, victory or tragedy. Instead of simply boring checking documents, in

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.
