"Townsfolk: Conquer New Lands in Retro Roguelike Strategy for the Crown"

The folks at Short Circuit Studios have consistently delivered engaging and charming games, from the delightful toybox simulators like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections. However, they're taking a bold step into darker territories with their upcoming release, Townsfolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder set to launch on April 3rd.

In Townsfolk, you assume the role of a leader tasked with colonizing new lands on behalf of the Crown. Your mission is to ensure your settlers not only survive but flourish, managing essential resources such as Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to keep your colony thriving.

However, the journey won't be easy. The untamed wilderness presents challenges like wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and tough moral decisions. Moreover, neglecting to pay your tithes to the Crown could spell disaster for your burgeoning settlement.

Hexcrawl Townsfolk marks a significant departure from Short Circuit Studios' traditional catalogue. Where once their games were characterized by a quaint and twee aesthetic, Townsfolk embraces a much darker visual style and a more challenging difficulty curve. As a roguelike, players will need to embrace and learn from failure to succeed.

The game offers various modes to explore: dive into the Roguelite Campaign, test your skills in Skirmish Mode with diverse challenges, or tackle the mind-bending Puzzle Challenges.
