Short Circuit Studio has taken a bold step into darker territories with the official launch of their new roguelite strategy game, TownsFolk. This colony builder introduces a fresh twist to the genre with its unpredictable events and a visually softer yet darker aesthetic, enveloped in an ever-present fog that hints at deeper mysteries.
In TownsFolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked with managing a fledgling settlement on the world's edge. Your primary mission? To keep your townsfolk alive and happy amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. But the challenges don't stop there. The Crown's increasing demands for tribute add another layer of complexity to your rule, forcing you to navigate a dynamic world that constantly evolves.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events. Your leadership will be tested as you make critical decisions to ensure the survival of your settlement, whether it's paying tributes or surviving natural disasters.
