Author:Kristen Update:Apr 28,2025

Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking a significant shift for Short Circuit Studio into darker territories compared to their previous mobile games. While the visuals maintain a soft, ethereal quality, the overall atmosphere is now darker, grittier, and enveloped in fog, hinting at deeper mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

As the leader of a newly established settlement on the world's edge, your primary goal in TownsFolk is to ensure the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. The challenge is compounded by the need to satisfy the ever-increasing demands of the Crown, all within a dynamic world that constantly evolves and requires adaptability.

Each playthrough of TownsFolk offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unpredictable events, making it a true roguelite strategy game. You'll face tough decisions, from paying tributes to the King to managing natural disasters, all to keep your settlement thriving and your people alive.
