Authore: NathanUpdate:Apr 04,2025

Short Circuit Studio has just unveiled their latest project, the roguelite strategy game TownsFolk, marking a shift to a darker, more intense atmosphere than their previous mobile games. While the visuals retain a soft, ethereal quality, the game's overall tone is much grittier and foggier, hinting at deeper mysteries lurking beyond the mist.

In TownsFolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked with managing a new settlement at the world's edge. Your primary challenge? Ensuring the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. But that's not all; you must also navigate the increasing demands of the Crown, making it a truly dynamic and ever-changing world. Adaptability is key.

Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative experience, driven by ancient mysteries and unpredictable events. You'll need to make tough decisions to keep your settlement thriving, from paying tributes to the King to surviving natural disasters.
