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 games.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Success hinges on maintaining your populace's faith, managing resources (Food, Gold, Faith, and Production), and expanding your colony's reach. However, the untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices will constantly test your leadership. And don't forget—paying your tithes to the Crown is non-negotiable!
