About Guard Duty

Tondbert, loyal Guard to the Castle of Wrinklewood, is having a rough day. A little too much ale at the local pub, a lapse in judgement, and the next thing you know a hooded figure has slipped into the kingdom and kidnapped the princess -- an event that will have consequences well into the future.
A thousand years later, in a small orbital station, Agent Starborn is a member of a resistance group embarking on a last ditch effort to overthrow evil and take back the Earth -- a quest rooted in the depths of history.
Discover how these two playable characters' fates are intertwined and you might just save humanity in the process.

fun game, great art style. very interesting concept, having the split of the two writing styles. its clearly a massive homage to many games before it, i definitely got flavours of Simon the Sorcerer, Monkey Island, Disc World and a bunch of others. good effort on the voice acting, music and sound was good. decent story line. its not perfect, but i like that, it gives it that old school charm. no complaints here.
Lovely game, for point and click lovers !
Quick and fun Not a fan of the last third of the game but the middle age part was really good
A fun little game. The last act was mainly a VN, with few choices. Interesting story.
G o o d.
I don't exactly know what to have made of this experience. The game is a "comedy adventure," but also has *massive* tonal shifts that more interrupt my enjoyment of the Monkey Island-esque humor elements. I completed the game feeling very uneasy, which may have been the point!
