Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking a notable shift for Short Circuit Studio towards a darker theme compared to their previous mobile games. While the visuals retain a soft, almost ethereal quality, the overall atmosphere is decidedly darker, grittier, and shrouded in fog—an element that seems crucial as there's more to discover beyond the mist.

In TownsFolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked with managing a newly established settlement on the world's edge. Your primary challenge? Ensuring the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. It's not just about keeping your people alive and content; you must also navigate the growing demands of the Crown. The game's world is dynamic and ever-changing, requiring you to adapt continuously.

Each playthrough offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events. Your leadership skills will be put to the test as you make critical decisions—whether it's paying tributes to the King or managing natural disasters—to keep your community thriving.
