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.

Fun and enjoyable game

First time playing this style of game but I enjoyed it. It does have various humor, and some wacky personalities ont he characters, which is fine as I have played all Ace Attorney games and used to that kind of stuff. The game gets a bit harder as you go on but not too difficult, it's kind of relaxing and enjoyabel to play. I liek the world, artstyle, and the main characters, even a lot of the characters you are up against are pretty fun. It does change up some of the rules of the task a after a while, the thirst three days or so will be similar but a but more difficult, and then you start getting scenarios where you are no longer dealing with people in the same conventional sense or method. The soundtrack is good and the voices are clear and well done in the game.The art style is good in how they blend old and new tech but seamlessly fits with the world and nothing really seems out of place even though the various objects wouldn't have existed near each other in real life. I'm, unsure what the deal is regarding performance meentioned here but I have played the game for 16 hours at 4K and experienced zero crashes or performance issues at all or any issue with game corruption. I wish people who have issues to get it resolved soon but I don't think it's an issue with the game at least from when I played it. I guess what i'm saying is I wouldn't let this put anyone off playing it, if there are issues then it can be refunded,

Papers, pretty please

Lil' Guardsman is basically Papers, please but set in whimsical fairy tale world.

Almost there

Great visuals and writing but choices really dont matter. Any game over just restarts you before the fatal choice, other than that you can fail pretty much everything and it doesnt affect the story. Zero replay. Bought on Sale. Worth. woouldn't pay over $20

Fun by yourself or with friends!

Lil' Guardsman, is a beautiful, hysterical, and brilliant narrative adventure game. At it's heart it's a puzzle game, where based on the in game clues and tools, you can deduce whether you should allow someone into the city or not. But with an interwoven plot with conflicts, politics, singing arsonist, and time travel, it's one I won't be forgetting any time soon. My only complaint is that the game has very little replay value, after you beat it for the first time (or after shown it to your friends). It's sadly just the nature of this genera of game. So while I would love to replay it, I'm going to need to give it another year or so. Guess I could replay Papers Please in the meantime.

Charmed from the start

With a dad irresposible as he is loving to his daughter, Lil the 12 year old (you play as her). It's funny, charming, the puzzles are fair to understand, and most importantly the story is good! It's fun, buy it, play it, summon a demon... I don't care, I'm not your dad.
