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 offerings.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Your primary objective is survival and expansion, meticulously managing resources such as Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to maintain a flourishing colony. However, the untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices will constantly test your leadership abilities. And remember, neglecting your tithes to the Crown will have consequences.
