Short Circuit Studio's latest release, *TownsFolk*, introduces a new roguelite strategy game that plunges players into a darker, more unpredictable world compared to their previous mobile offerings. The game retains a soft, ethereal visual style, yet it's enveloped in a darker, grittier atmosphere, enhanced by a pervasive fog that hints at deeper mysteries lurking beyond.
In *TownsFolk*, you assume the role of a leader tasked with guiding a fledgling settlement on the world's edge. Your primary objective is to keep your townsfolk alive and thriving amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. The challenge doesn't end there; you must also manage the ever-increasing demands of the Crown, which requires you to pay tribute or face dire consequences. This dynamic world evolves continuously, forcing you to adapt your strategies to survive.
Each playthrough in *TownsFolk* offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events that test your decision-making skills. From paying tributes to surviving natural disasters, the choices you make are critical to your community's survival.
