Short Circuit Studio has unveiled their latest creation, TownsFolk, a new roguelite strategy game that marks a shift to a darker tone compared to their previous mobile offerings. The game retains a soft, ethereal aesthetic, but it's enveloped in a darker, grittier atmosphere, with fog playing a crucial role in hinting at hidden mysteries beyond the veil.
In TownsFolk, you take on the role of a leader tasked with managing a fledgling settlement on the world's edge. Your primary goal is to keep your townsfolk alive and happy amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. But the challenges don't stop there; you must also navigate the increasing demands of the Crown, ensuring you pay tribute or face the consequences. The game's dynamic world requires you to adapt constantly to survive.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unpredictable events. Your leadership will be tested as you make critical decisions to keep your settlement thriving, from managing tributes to overcoming natural disasters.
