Townsfolk is a retro roguelike strategy where you conquer new lands for the Crown

Short Circuit Studios, known for their 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, launching April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical games.

In Townsfolk, you lead an expedition tasked by the Crown to colonize new lands. Your primary goal is survival and prosperity—managing resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your colony thriving. However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices constantly threaten your colony's stability. And don't forget—paying your tithes to the Crown is non-negotiable!

A Hexcrawl Adventure

Townsfolk represents a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. Trading their signature quaint aesthetic for a darker, more challenging experience, the game's roguelike elements ensure that failure is a constant possibility—and a valuable learning experience.

The game offers multiple modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing your skills, and Puzzle Challenges designed to truly test your strategic thinking.
