Hilltop Studios and Versus Evil have announced that their quirky point-and-click adventure game, Lil’ Guardsman, is headed out the gate on January 23rd. When it launches, the game will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC via Steam.
Developers want to give fans a chance to see the game in action and have released a new trailer that showcases gameplay and awesome comic book-like graphics.
Players are put into the virtual shoes of a 12-year-old guardsman named Lil (of course!) as she covers for her dad. She’ll meet a colorful cast of characters, face difficult decisions, and take part in “all manner of security-related shenanigans.”
Features include
- Fantasy/Comedy Narrative: 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 you’ve angered in the process. Your decisions can determine the fate of the city and its people!
- Interrogation Puzzles: Interrogate 100+ fully voiced characters in just the right way to earn a perfect score.
- Tools of the Trade: 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.
- Rewind Time: Use your trusty Chronometer3000 to return and get a higher score… but be careful not to break space and time in the process.
A Steam demo is available for those who prefer to try before buying.
Check out the Lil’ Guardsman Steam page or other platform store page for more details.
