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