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, launching April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical offerings.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement in uncharted lands. Your primary objective: ensure your populace survives and prospers. This involves carefully managing resources—Food, Gold, Faith, and Production—to maintain a healthy and expanding colony.

However, survival is far from guaranteed. The untamed wilderness presents challenges such as wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices that threaten your colony's stability. And don't forget—timely tithes to the Crown are crucial!

A Hexcrawl Adventure

Townsfolk represents a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. Trading its previous quaint aesthetic for a grimmer, more challenging experience, the game's roguelike mechanics demand adaptability and resilience in the face of repeated failures.

The game offers diverse gameplay modes: a challenging Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges designed to push your strategic thinking to its limits.
