Townsfolk is a retro roguelike strategy where you conquer new lands for the Crown

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, whimsical style.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Success hinges on maintaining your populace's faith, managing resources (Food, Gold, Faith, and Production), and expanding your colony. However, this untamed land 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 crucial!

A Hexcrawl Adventure

Townsfolk represents a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. The game boasts a darker aesthetic and a more challenging gameplay experience than their previous releases. The roguelike elements ensure that failure is a learning opportunity, demanding strategic adaptation and resilience.

The game offers multiple modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges for truly demanding strategic thinking.
