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, more whimsical offerings.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Success hinges on maintaining a balanced colony, ensuring adequate Food, Gold, Faith, and Production levels. However, the untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices will test your leadership skills. Neglecting your tithes to the Crown will certainly not help matters.

A Hexcrawl Adventure

Townsfolk represents a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. Trading its previously quaint aesthetic for a darker, more challenging experience, the game's roguelike elements introduce a significant difficulty curve and the need to learn from failures.

The game offers diverse gameplay modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges for mind-bending strategic puzzles.
