While adventuring is often associated with battling through hordes of terrifying creatures, it's the moments between these intense encounters that are often overlooked. For tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) enthusiasts, the tension of a long rest interrupted by lurking dangers is all too familiar. This is where Set A Watch comes into play, a game that captures the essence of these suspenseful breaks.
Originally a board game, Set A Watch is now making its way to digital platforms, including Steam, iOS, and Android. This dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler challenges players to keep their campfire burning against waves of encroaching monsters. Between these waves, players must prepare for the next onslaught, choosing from six unique heroes to form their party, rolling dice, and using the outcomes to solve puzzles and fend off threats.
Set A Watch transforms the simple concept of a long rest into a compelling blend of tower defense, strategy, and RPG elements, immersing players in the struggle to survive against forest-dwelling beasties. The game promises a rich experience, drawing players into the tension and strategy of defending their campfire.
Although Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates and listings for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates, as this game is definitely one to watch.
