When you think of adventuring, you might picture epic battles against fearsome creatures. But what about the quiet moments in between? Those tense times when you're trying to rest and recover, only for danger to creep up on you? That's where Set A Watch comes in—a dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's set to launch soon on iOS and Android.
Originally a board game, Set A Watch now brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to mobile, challenging you to keep your campfire burning amidst waves of monsters. It captures the essence of those nerve-wracking long rests where the threat of attack never fully dissipates.
In Set A Watch, you'll choose from six unique heroes, form your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off enemies. Each moment between waves is spent strategizing and preparing for the next onslaught, turning the concept of resting into a thrilling pseudo tower defense, strategy, and puzzling RPG experience.

You gain the benefits of a long rest—but only if you can survive the relentless attacks from the forest's lurking beasties. Set A Watch brilliantly encapsulates the tension and excitement of those critical moments.
While Set A Watch has a Steam page, we're still awaiting listings and a release date for iOS and Android. Keep an eye out for updates as we track this promising game's journey to launch.
