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 new twist with unpredictable events and a grim atmosphere, a significant departure from their traditionally lighter mobile games. The game's visuals, while retaining a soft, ethereal quality, now embrace a darker, grittier, and foggier aesthetic. This fog isn't just for show; it hints at deeper mysteries lurking beyond.
In TownsFolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked with establishing a settlement at the world's edge. Your primary goal? Keep your townsfolk alive and happy amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. But the challenges don't end there. You'll also need to navigate the increasing demands of the Crown, making the game a dynamic, living world where adaptability is key.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk promises a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events. You'll be faced with tough decisions, from paying tribute to the King to surviving natural disasters. The game truly tests your leadership and strategic skills.
