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.

2/5 as a game, 4/5 as a movie

As a movie, I LOVED the cozy art and humor. But as a game, it's too often tedious. There's very little deduction involved, mostly guesswork and luck. Will using the metal detector or X-ray work better to find out if a person is smuggling? Or will using the whip? Or will talking to them? And then should you deny them entry? Or send them to jail? Or call the councilwoman? Or call someone else? There's too many options and not enough clues to point you in any clear direction. Trying to get the 'best outcome' is tedious and often involves replaying levels over and over again. I had the most fun when I stopped playing it as a game and just followed a walkthrough to the letter and enjoyed the movie. And as a movie.... it was a lot of fun.

Funny Lil' Gem

This is by far the funniest game I've played in recent memory, with it's great jokes & humour that sometimes subverts expectations, but not often enough to undermine the fun. Also, its funny how much you're encouraged to not do what a "proper" guardsman should, but what Lil would do, like "confiscating" the illigal goods (and then sell them after your shift), all the while you're naught but a 12 year old doing what you do best, causing mischief. Abselutly one of THE games of all time, highly recommend, even if you don't like funny stuff.

Fun, cozy little puzzle game

I love the general vibe Lil has for so many options, and some of thw twists were understandably predictable but nevertheless enjoyable.
