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 games.
In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Your primary objective is survival and growth, carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your populace content. However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unforeseen disasters, and difficult moral choices will constantly test your leadership. 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 retro feel, the game introduces a challenging roguelike experience where learning from failure is key. The darker visuals and increased difficulty create a compelling contrast to their previous work.
Multiple game modes cater to diverse playstyles. The main Roguelite Campaign offers a challenging, replayable experience. Skirmish Mode allows you to test your skills against various challenges, while Puzzle Challenges provide truly brain-bending strategic puzzles.
