Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking Short Circuit Studio's venture into a darker realm compared to their previous mobile games. While the game retains the soft, ethereal visuals that the studio is known for, the atmosphere is noticeably darker, grittier, and shrouded in fog, hinting at deeper mysteries lurking beyond the veil.
In TownsFolk, you take on the role of a leader tasked with managing a newly established settlement at the world's edge. Your primary challenge is to ensure the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. However, the demands of the Crown add another layer of complexity, requiring you to pay tributes to keep the peace. The world of TownsFolk is dynamic and ever-changing, demanding adaptability and strategic decision-making to thrive.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative, driven by the roguelite strategy with unpredictable events and ancient mysteries waiting to be uncovered. You'll face tough choices to keep your settlement alive, from managing resources to surviving natural disasters and unexpected challenges.
