After delivering fan favorites like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has once again raised the bar—this time with TownsFolk, a fresh twist on the city-building genre blending roguelike elements with strategic survival gameplay.
Explore, Build, and Survive in TownsFolk
Step into the role of a colony leader tasked with guiding a group of settlers through the untamed wilderness to establish a thriving settlement. But it’s not just about laying down roads and building homes—your colony must also meet the demands of the Crown by delivering regular tribute. Fail to keep the Crown satisfied, and consequences will follow, putting your entire settlement at risk.
In TownsFolk, you’ll balance essential resources such as food, gold, faith, and production, all while navigating unpredictable threats. From wild animal attacks and natural disasters to tough moral choices, every decision shapes the fate of your people. This game challenges your strategic thinking and adaptability, rewarding careful planning and punishing oversight.
