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

Adventuring isn't always about battling horrific creatures; it's also about the crucial downtime between these intense encounters. For those of us who enjoy tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), we know the tension of settling down for a much-needed long rest, only to face new threats emerging from the shadows. This is the essence of Set A Watch, an innovative game that transforms the concept of resting into a thrilling strategy and puzzle experience.

Set A Watch, which initially began as a board game, is now making its way to digital platforms, including Steam, iOS, and Android. The game challenges players to defend their campfire against relentless waves of monsters, turning each moment between battles into a strategic preparation for the next onslaught. You'll choose from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the creatures threatening your sanctuary.

This game brilliantly captures the essence of surviving an extended battle against forest-dwelling beasties, morphing the simple act of resting into a pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzle RPG. While Set A Watch has a presence on Steam, we're still awaiting listings and a release date for iOS and Android. Keep an eye out for updates on this exciting title.
