Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking Short Circuit Studio's intriguing shift towards a darker theme than their typical mobile games. Despite the shift, the game retains a soft, ethereal visual style, though it's enveloped in a darker, grittier, and more mysterious fog - a crucial element as there appears to be hidden secrets lurking beyond the mist.
In TownsFolk, you step into the shoes of a leader of a fledgling settlement on the world's edge. Your primary mission is to ensure the survival and happiness of the titular townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. Not only must you navigate these challenges, but you're also tasked with managing the ever-increasing demands of the Crown. This game presents a living, dynamic world that requires you to adapt continuously.
Each playthrough of TownsFolk promises a unique narrative due to the presence of ancient mysteries and unpredictable events. You'll face tough decisions to keep your community alive - from paying tributes to the King to surviving natural disasters.
