Lil Guardsman
What if cult-classic bureaucratic-’em-up Papers Please ditched its grim Iron Curtain influences for a vivid and eccentric aesthetic as a substitute? You’d get Lil’ Guardsman, a pleasing shock set in a fantasy world. As Lil, the 12-year-old hero overlaying their dad’s shift on the guard shed, it is as much as you to course of greater than 100 individuals, coping with the passes of people, elves, goblins, and different fantastical creatures to see who’s worthy to go by way of the fortress gates. It’s a charmingly foolish combo of deduction-based gameplay, puzzles, and storytelling that makes paperwork enjoyable.
