Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking Short Circuit Studio's transition to a darker theme than their typical mobile games. Despite the shift, the game retains a soft, almost ethereal visual style, yet it's enveloped in a darker, grittier atmosphere, accentuated by an ever-present fog that hints at mysteries lurking beyond.

In TownsFolk, you step into the role of a leader of a newly established settlement teetering on the edge of the world. Your primary challenge is to ensure the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. But the struggle doesn't end there; you must also meet the escalating demands of the Crown. The game's world is dynamic and ever-changing, requiring you to adapt continuously.

Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events that you must navigate to keep your community thriving. The game introduces a new roguelite strategy with unpredictable events, where making tough decisions—such as paying tribute to the King or facing natural disasters—can mean the difference between life and leadership.
