BERLIN: In the puzzle game Lil Guardsman, you are young Lil, a 12-year-old girl who takes on her father’s job as a guardian of the kingdom. In this role of fantasy world border cop, you get to decide who does and doesn’t get to enter the gates.

In a comic world full of strange creatures, you sit in the guardhouse and chose whether to let them enter, send them to prison or even blow them up.
