Description
In this deduction adventure, you play as Lil - an unlikely 12-year-old hero - covering your dads 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 kingdoms 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 youve 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.

9.5/10
Lil' Guardsman is a fun game that expertly combines story and gameplay. It’s built around a loveable central character who finds herself at the core of an interesting although familiar narrative. The deduction mechanics require players to pay attention, but the game also smartly gives them a rewind ability if they want to retcon some choices.

Difficulty Is Just Right.

The interactive texts are awesome, comfortable playing experience without pressure, musics are great and melodic, nice voice actings. Recommended.

Pretty Fun To Play

Great visuals and I enjoyed the humour in the game. The developers did an excellent job at introducing new challenges at the right time to avoid making the game too repetitive. I finished the game in about 10 hours without much difficulty.
