Colony builder TownsFolk has officially launched, marking Short Circuit Studio's shift to a darker tone compared to their previous mobile games. While the visuals retain a soft, ethereal quality, the overall atmosphere is now darker, grittier, and shrouded in fog, hinting at mysteries beyond the veil.

In TownsFolk, you step into the shoes of a leader of a newly established settlement at the world's edge. Your primary goal is to ensure the survival and happiness of your townsfolk amidst harsh weather, famine, and toxic plagues. The challenge doesn't end there; you must also manage the increasing demands of the Crown, navigating a living, dynamic world that requires adaptability at every turn.

Each playthrough offers a unique narrative, driven by ancient mysteries and unexpected events. You'll face tough decisions, from paying tributes to the King to surviving natural disasters, all in the effort to keep your community thriving.
