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, launching April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical style.
In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with establishing and expanding a thriving settlement. Success hinges on maintaining a balance of Food, Gold, Faith, and Production—all while keeping your populace happy and your tithes paid to the Crown. The untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges: wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices all threaten your colony's stability.

Townsfolk's darker aesthetic and challenging gameplay represent a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. The roguelike elements introduce a high degree of difficulty and the need to learn from failures. The game offers diverse gameplay modes, including a Roguelite Campaign, Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges for truly demanding strategic puzzles.
