"Set a Watch: Keep Home Fires Burning, Coming to Android, iOS"

While the thrill of adventuring often revolves around battling fearsome creatures, the moments of respite between these intense encounters are equally crucial. This is precisely the focus of Set A Watch, an intriguing dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to iOS and Android soon. Originally conceived as a board game, Set A Watch has evolved into a digital experience that challenges players to keep their campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters.

For those familiar with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), the scenario is all too familiar: you've just navigated a perilous adventure and are settling down for a much-needed long rest, only for your game master to introduce a new threat lurking in the shadows. Set A Watch captures this tension perfectly, bringing a fully fleshed-out set of mechanics from its board game origins to the mobile platform.

In Set A Watch, you'll select from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle the challenges that arise during your rest. Each roll influences how you prepare for and fend off the next wave of enemies intent on extinguishing your campfire. The game ingeniously transforms the concept of a long rest into a gripping blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzle-solving, encapsulating the nerve-wracking experience of surviving an extended battle against the creatures of the forest.

You gain the benefits of a long rest while constantly strategizing to keep your party safe. Although Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for more updates as we eagerly await its launch.
