"TownsFolk: Juggle Disasters, Animals, and Taxes - Out Now"

By HunterApr 19,2025

Short Circuit Studio has taken a thrilling turn into darker territories with the launch of their latest game, TownsFolk. This new roguelite strategy game introduces players to a world filled with unpredictable events, where you'll take on the role of a leader tasked with keeping your townsfolk alive and happy. It's not just about survival; you'll also need to pay tribute to the King, or face the consequences.

While the game retains the studio's signature soft and ethereal visual style, TownsFolk dives into a much grittier and foggier atmosphere. This fog isn't just for show; it hints at deeper mysteries lurking beyond the veil. As you manage your newly built settlement on the world's edge, you'll need to navigate through harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. The challenge intensifies as you juggle the happiness and survival of your people with the ever-increasing demands from the Crown.

Each playthrough of TownsFolk promises a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events. Your leadership will be tested as you make tough decisions to ensure your community's survival, from managing natural disasters to deciding when and how to pay tributes.
