Short Circuit Studio has taken a bold step into darker territories with the launch of their new roguelite strategy game, TownsFolk. While the game retains the studio's signature soft and ethereal visual style, it introduces a grittier, foggier atmosphere that hints at deeper mysteries lurking beyond the mist. In this colony builder, you take on the role of a leader tasked with guiding a settlement on the world's edge through harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. Your primary goal? Keep your townsfolk alive and happy amidst these challenges.

But survival isn't just about battling the elements. The Crown's increasing demands add another layer of complexity to your leadership role. You'll need to pay tribute to the King or face the consequences, making every decision critical in this dynamic, ever-changing world. Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unpredictable events that test your strategic acumen and force you to make tough choices to ensure the survival of your settlement.
