Today, publisher Versus Evil and developer Hilltop Studios announced Lil’ Guardsman. The title will be released for To change later in 2023.
Lil’ Guardsman is a deduction adventure game where players take on the role of 12-year-old hero Lil, who covers his father’s shift at the guardhouse and needs the fate of over 100 unique characters. More details are included below.
You’ll interrogate humans, elves, goblins, cyclops, and other fantastical creatures using your powers of deduction to determine who to admit or deny based on how they answer your questions and your trusted tools. Sending visitors to jail, inadvertently tearing them to pieces, or letting them go as they please are all part of the job. But beware: who you let through the castle gates will determine the fate of the kingdom.
