The folks at Short Circuit Studios have long captivated gamers with their charming and whimsical titles like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections. However, they're steering into uncharted territories with their latest offering, Townsfolk, a dark and gritty roguelike strategy city-builder set to launch on April 3rd.

In Townsfolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked by the Crown to colonize new lands. Your mission is clear: ensure the survival and prosperity of your populace while efficiently managing vital resources such as Food, Gold, Faith, and Production. Success hinges on your ability to keep these metrics in the green.

Yet, the path to success is fraught with peril. The wilderness teems with wild animals and unpredictable disasters, and the weight of moral dilemmas can tip the scales of your colony's stability. Moreover, neglecting to pay your tithes to the Crown could spell doom for your burgeoning settlement.

HexcrawlTownsfolk marks a bold departure from Short Circuit Studios' traditional output. Where once their games were characterized by quaint charm, Townsfolk introduces a darker aesthetic and a challenging difficulty curve, typical of the roguelike genre. Players should be prepared to embrace failure as part of their journey to mastery.

The game offers a variety of modes to test your strategic prowess, including the Roguelite Campaign, Skirmish Mode for targeted challenges, and Puzzle Challenges that will stretch your problem-solving skills to their limits.
