Short Circuit Studios, known for their 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 style.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Your primary objective is survival and expansion, carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your populace content. However, the untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices threaten your colony's stability. And don't forget – timely tithes to the Crown are essential!

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 ensure that failure is a learning opportunity. Players will need to adapt and strategize to overcome obstacles.

The game offers multiple modes, including a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing skills, and Puzzle Challenges that demand creative problem-solving.
