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 offerings.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Your primary objective: ensure your people survive and prosper, carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to maintain a healthy colony.

However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unforeseen disasters, and difficult moral choices constantly threaten your colony's stability. And don't forget – timely tithes to the Crown are crucial for maintaining favor.
