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, arriving April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical games.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Your primary objective is survival and expansion, carefully managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to ensure your colony prospers. However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. You'll face wild animals, unexpected disasters, and difficult moral choices, all while remembering to fulfill your tithe to the Crown.

A Hexcrawl Adventure

Townsfolk represents a bold shift for Short Circuit Studios. Trading their typically quaint aesthetic for a darker, more challenging experience, the game's roguelike elements mean mastering failure is key to success.

The game offers multiple modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges designed to truly tax your strategic thinking.
