Short Circuit Studio has taken a thrilling turn with the launch of their new game, TownsFolk, a roguelite strategy game that introduces a darker, more intense atmosphere than their previous mobile titles. While the game retains a soft, ethereal visual style, it's now shrouded in a foggier, grittier environment, hinting at deeper mysteries lurking beyond the mist.

Your primary mission is to keep your townsfolk alive and thriving amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. However, maintaining the happiness and survival of your people is only part of the challenge. You'll also need to navigate the ever-increasing demands of the Crown, ensuring you pay the required tributes or face the consequences.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk promises a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unpredictable events. The game's dynamic world requires you to adapt constantly, making tough decisions to ensure the survival and prosperity of your settlement. From managing natural disasters to balancing the needs of your people and the Crown, every choice you make will shape your journey.
