While the thrill of adventuring often focuses on the adrenaline-pumping battles against fearsome creatures, the quieter moments between these encounters can be just as gripping. This is the essence of Set A Watch, a captivating dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to iOS and Android devices soon. Originally a board game, Set A Watch now brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to the digital world, including on Steam.

In Set A Watch, you're tasked with keeping a campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters. It's a scenario familiar to tabletop RPG (TTRPG) enthusiasts: you've just navigated a perilous adventure and are settling in for a much-needed long rest when the game master introduces a new threat emerging from the shadows. This game captures that tension perfectly, turning the downtime into a strategic challenge.

You'll choose from six unique heroes to form your party, and then it's all about rolling the dice. The outcomes determine how you address various challenges and fend off the creatures threatening your campsite. Set A Watch ingeniously transforms the concept of a long rest into a pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzling RPG, immersing players in the struggle to survive an hours-long battle against the forest's lurking dangers.

While Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android versions are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for more updates as we closely follow its progress and what it will offer upon release.
