Lil’ Guardsman Release Date
Toronto, Canada – January 9th, in the year of our Lord
2024 - Independent game studio Hilltop Studios has
revealed that their upcoming narrative-driven deduction
adventure game Lil’ Guardsman will launch on PC, Nintendo
Switch, all PlayStation and all Xbox consoles on January 23rd.
Prepare to decide the fate of the kingdom in this comical
successor to classic 90’s point-and-click adventures!
To commemorate this reveal, Hilltop Studios has released an all
new trailer introducing players to 12-year-old substitute
guardsman Lil, as she breaks down what it takes to cover for her
wayward father on the job. Get a glimpse at some of the colorful
characters, difficult decisions, and all manner of
security-related shenanigans you’ll get up to ahead of Lil’
Guardsman’s launch.
Lil’ Guardsman is a narrative deduction game inspired by the
classic point-and-click genre and the mechanics of Papers,
Please. Set in a high-fantasy world with the comedic sensibility
of Monkey Island and other 90s Lucasarts adventure classics,
Lil’ Guardsman puts players in the role of a young girl who
finds herself tasked with covering for her dad as a castle gte
guardsman. What could go wrong?
As you interrogate an array of eccentric characters trying to
gain entry to the city walls, you must discover each visitor’s
true intentions through cunning dialogue and a clever use of
your toolbox of investigative items. Use your cypher-cracking
Decoder Ring, douse travelers in Truth Spray, or threaten them
with your trusty Bullwhip! You’ll have to make tough decisions
as Lil, deciding who to allow into her castle home. Consequences
can be severe, so you must make clever use of your abilities to
uncover mass conspiracies and protect Lil’s castle and family
from devious interlopers.
“With Lil’ Guardsman we wanted to mix the deductive
puzzle-solving and branching storyline of Papers, Please with
the warmth and humor of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango,” said
Hilltop Co-Founder and Co-Game Director Artiom Komarov. “We’ve
been cracking each other up for two years coming up with
scenarios, dialogue, visual gags, and picturing the voice cast
that make up Lil’ Guardsman’s world, we’re so excited to finally
share it with everyone on January 23rd!”
