Set a Watch challenges you to keep the home fires burning, coming to Android and iOS

Adventuring isn't just about battling through hordes of terrifying creatures; it's also about the crucial moments of rest and recovery between those intense encounters. For tabletop RPG enthusiasts, the tension of a long rest interrupted by lurking dangers is all too familiar. This is the essence captured by Set A Watch, a unique dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to digital platforms.

Originally a board game, Set A Watch is now set to launch on Steam, iOS, and Android, bringing its engaging mechanics to a broader audience. The game challenges players to keep their campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters. Between these attacks, you'll strategize and prepare for the next onslaught, choosing from six distinct heroes to form your party and using dice rolls to tackle various challenges and fend off the creatures.

What makes Set A Watch stand out is its transformation of the simple concept of a long rest into a dynamic blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzle-solving within an RPG framework. It vividly captures the struggle of surviving a prolonged battle against the forest's lurking threats.

While Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as we eagerly await its full release across all platforms.
