The Guard is a top-down prison guard simulator with pixel graphics. You play as a guard that needs money for his family. The monthly pay is not enough, so you need to find ways of creating more income.

Your job as a prison guard offers you different tasks to do for the prisoners. However, you need to be careful when doing these shady tasks. There is a risk of getting caught. The prisoners offer you tasks of different difficulty,  as the higher risk of getting caught you take, the more money you can earn.

You can therefore choose your strategy - less jobs with higher risk, or more with less. Your goal is to survive as long as possible.
