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, arriving April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical offerings.
In Townsfolk, you lead an expedition tasked by the Crown to colonize new lands. Your primary objective is survival and prosperity: maintaining a thriving colony by carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production. Success hinges on keeping these vital elements in the positive.
However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices constantly 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 stylistic shift for Short Circuit Studios. Trading their signature quaint aesthetic for a darker, grittier visual style, the game introduces a more challenging experience. The roguelike elements ensure that failure is a learning opportunity, demanding strategic adaptation and resilience.
The game offers diverse gameplay modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills against various challenges, and Puzzle Challenges that will truly test your strategic thinking.
