"Townsfolk: Retro Roguelike Strategy to Conquer Lands for the Crown"

The folks at Short Circuit Studios have consistently delivered captivating games, from the charming toybox simulators like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections. However, they're shifting gears with their latest project, Townsfolk, a dark and intense roguelike strategy city-builder set to launch on April 3rd.

In Townsfolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked by the Crown to establish a thriving colony in uncharted territories. Your mission is clear: ensure your settlers not only survive but flourish, managing essential resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep everything running smoothly.

But beware, the new lands are far from idyllic. You'll face wild animals, unpredictable natural disasters, and tough moral decisions. And don't forget the crucial task of paying your tithes to the Crown, or face dire consequences.

HexcrawlThis game marks a significant shift for Short Circuit Studios. Moving away from their traditionally quaint and twee style, Townsfolk embraces a darker aesthetic and a challenging difficulty curve. As a roguelike, players should be prepared to learn from failure and adapt their strategies accordingly.

Townsfolk offers diverse gameplay modes to keep you engaged, including the Roguelite Campaign, Skirmish Mode for testing your skills across various challenges, and Puzzle Challenges that will push your problem-solving abilities to the limit.
