Townsfolk is a retro roguelike strategy where you conquer new lands for the Crown

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, launching April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical offerings.

In Townsfolk, you lead an expedition tasked by the Crown to colonize new lands. Your primary objective is survival and prosperity—managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your colony thriving. However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. You'll face wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices, all while ensuring timely tithes to the Crown.
