Being the Little Guy is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 2003 by Adam Biltcliffe. It was a participant in the Speed-IF Jacket 2 event.
In this short game, you play as a humble farmer boy who lives in an enchanted glade with your friend, Patty the Unicorn. Unfortunately, Patty tells you that the evil and cruel Ogre Lord has another quest for you.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
