Lambert said they want to share their faith to enlighten the people of Sprawl in the name of 'The One Who Waits'...
We should let them in, right? 🤔
all of my choices matter so much 😵💫 who trusts a 12 year old with this kind of job? If The Sprawl burns down - it's my fault, but isn't my fault 😅🔥

Wait… are Milodane and I long lost siblings? Armed with Tinykin and the Chronometer3000 we could probably take over the world! 👑

"The developer references the likes of Papers, Please, Monkey Island and Grim Fandango as inspirations for the game's comedic writing and mechanics ... If none of those take your fancy, then there is also an adorable art style and funny little goblins. Now we're talking."
Hi there! I'm Lil 😋😌
I have to cover for my dad's shift at the guard shed so I figured I would keep a journal of tips, tricks & more! I have to interrogate every human & creature trying to enter The Sprawl to keep the kingdom safe.

According to co-creator
@artkomma
, Lil Guardsman was also inspired by cartoons such as
#AdventureTime
and
#GravityFalls
. Not just for their beautiful and cartoony aesthetic but also for their earnest, impactful stories and taking their characters on big arcs. 🌈

my dad & I live above a tavern. I'm trying to get Dwarf Tinkerer to fix the jukebox since there is only one song playing right now, but at least it's a nice song.
after a chaotic shift at the guardshed I do enjoy relaxing to this 🎵

I'm just a regular 12-year old girl living with my dad in the The Sprawl. My dad works as a guard at the castle gate and he bamboozled me into covering for him while he places bets on Goblinball matches...
I was amazed when my decoder ring revealed a secret message in her kids' incomprehensible crayon drawing! You got get those kids, Denise!
Some of the tools in the guard shed are actually pretty cool 🤔🧰

I don't LOVE having to walk through the Sprawl's dungeons to get to Jester Malcolm's office, but at least his music is a bop. A little weird, a little off-kilter, just like he is. 🤪
