"Townsfolk: Retro Roguelike Strategy for Conquering New Lands"

Short Circuit Studios, known for their charming toybox simulators like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections, is set to release a darker and more intense game titled Townsfolk. Scheduled for release on April 3rd, this roguelike strategy city-builder marks a significant departure from their usual quaint and twee style.

In Townsfolk, you take on the role of a leader tasked by the Crown to colonize new lands. Your primary goal is to ensure the survival and prosperity of your settlers, managing essential resources such as Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your colony flourishing. However, the journey is far from easy. You must navigate the challenges posed by wild animals, unpredictable natural disasters, and tough moral decisions, all while ensuring you pay your tithes to the Crown on time.

HexcrawlTownsfolk introduces a darker aesthetic and a steeper difficulty curve, challenging players to adapt to the roguelike genre's inherent trial and error gameplay. Short Circuit Studios seems to be pushing boundaries, offering players a chance to learn from failure and refine their strategies.

The game offers multiple modes to cater to different play styles. Dive into the Roguelite Campaign for the full experience, test your skills in Skirmish Mode with various challenges, or tackle the mind-bending Puzzle Challenges that push your strategic thinking to its limits.
