About the game

Imagine you're a 12 year old, suddenly in charge of the guard shed at the castle gate, where you decide if elves, goblins and 100+ other characters should be admitted. It's a wonderful combination of deduction, narrative and puzzle games.

    Has all the ingredients for greatness but it didn't hook me. Still a great game though

    I almost didn't buy the game based on negative reviews but boy am I glad I did. Very fun game with a lot of interesting choices (that actually make a difference). Great voices, love the art style, sweet story of a little girl and her not so great dad (he tries). Lots of replayability. Definitely worth getting on sale.

    Genuinely made for toddlers. It's extremely boring, and the main gameplay loop is executed poorly. When deciding whether or not someone should be able to pass through, a lot of the time figuring out what tools you need to use feels like some guessing game. Insult for it to be compared to Papers Please..
