Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking Short Circuit Studio's intriguing shift to a darker theme than their usual mobile offerings. While the visuals retain that soft, almost ethereal quality, the overall atmosphere is now darker, grittier, and shrouded in fog—an element that seems crucial, hinting at hidden depths beyond the mist.

In this new roguelite strategy game, you'll take on the role of a leader of a newly established settlement on the world's edge. Your primary mission? To keep your townsfolk alive and happy amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. It's not just about survival; you must also navigate the ever-increasing demands of the Crown. This living, dynamic world requires you to adapt continually.

Each playthrough of TownsFolk promises a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unpredictable events. Your leadership will be tested by tough choices, from paying tributes to the King to managing natural disasters. Your ability to strategize and adapt could mean the difference between flourishing and failing.
