Author: Stella Apr 28,2025

While adventuring is often associated with battling through hordes of fearsome creatures, the quieter moments between these intense encounters often go unnoticed. For tabletop RPG enthusiasts, these moments can be just as thrilling, especially when unexpected dangers emerge from the shadows during a much-needed rest. This is the essence captured by Set A Watch, an engaging dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to mobile devices soon.

Originally a board game, Set A Watch now transitions into a digital format, available on Steam, iOS, and Android. The game places you in the shoes of adventurers who must keep their campfire burning amidst relentless waves of monsters. Between these attacks, you'll strategize and prepare for the next onslaught, choosing from six unique heroes to form your party. With each roll of the dice, you'll tackle various challenges and fend off the creatures threatening your group's safety.

What makes Set A Watch stand out is how it transforms the concept of a long rest into a dynamic blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzle-solving RPG gameplay. It captures the tense atmosphere of surviving a prolonged battle against lurking forest beasties.

Although Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates for iOS and Android versions are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for more updates as we eagerly await its launch.
