Adventuring often conjures images of epic battles against fearsome creatures, yet it's the moments of rest and recovery that can be just as gripping. For tabletop RPG enthusiasts, those tense moments between adventures, when you're trying to catch your breath only to face new threats, are all too familiar. This is precisely the scenario that Set A Watch captures, a game that originated as a board game and is now making its way to digital platforms including Steam, iOS, and Android.
In Set A Watch, your mission is to keep a campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters. Between these attacks, you'll strategize and prepare for the next onslaught. Choose from six unique heroes, form your party, and roll the dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the creatures threatening your rest.
This game transforms the simple concept of a long rest into a compelling mix of tower defense, strategy, and puzzle-solving RPG elements. It immerses players in the intense experience of surviving a prolonged battle against the lurking dangers of the forest.
The only downside is that 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 more updates as we approach the launch.
