Thanks @Indie_Watcher! So glad you enjoyed!!!
Deciding who gets in or not can be stressful, but Lil' Guardsman turns that task into something genuinely fun. It's one of the few games where I've messed up and ended up laughing at my own decisions. I'd love to see a series based on this game #indiegame #indiedev

The script for Episode 5 of Scarlet Hollow is finally DONE! 250k words (compared to 185k for Episode 4, and 191k for ALL of Slay the Princess incl the Pristine Cut.) This brings the total word count for the game up to 884k, probably more by the time ep 5 is done!
