Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking a significant shift for Short Circuit Studio towards a darker theme than their typical mobile games. While the visuals retain a soft, almost ethereal quality, the overall atmosphere is decidedly darker, grittier, and shrouded in fog—a crucial element, as there appears to be more lurking beyond the mist than initially meets the eye.
In this new roguelite strategy game, you take on the role of a leader overseeing a newly established settlement on the edge of the world. Your primary goal? To ensure the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. But it's not just about keeping your people alive; you must also navigate the ever-increasing demands of the Crown. This living, dynamic world requires you to adapt continuously to its changes.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk promises a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries to unravel and unpredictable events to survive. You'll face tough decisions, from paying tributes to the King to managing natural disasters, all while striving to lead another day.
