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 expansion, carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your populace content. However, the untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices constantly threaten your colony's stability. And don't forget—paying your tithes to the Crown is non-negotiable!
