Short Circuit Studios, known for charming titles like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections, is venturing into darker territory with their upcoming release, Townsfolk. This roguelike strategy city-builder, arriving April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical style.
In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Your primary objective: ensure the survival and prosperity of your populace, carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep them in the green.
However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices threaten your colony's stability. And don't forget—paying your tithes to the Crown is non-negotiable!
A Hexcrawl Adventure
Townsfolk represents a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. Trading their signature twee aesthetic for a grimmer, more challenging experience, the game's roguelike elements introduce a significant difficulty curve and the necessity of learning from failures.
The game offers multiple modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges that will truly test your strategic thinking.
