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

Adventuring isn't just about battling through hordes of terrifying monsters; it's also about what happens during the crucial downtime between these intense encounters. This is where Set A Watch comes into play—a captivating dice-rolling, campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's set to launch soon on iOS and Android devices. Initially conceived as a board game, Set A Watch now brings its richly developed mechanics to the mobile platform, challenging you to keep a campfire burning against relentless waves of monsters.

For those familiar with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), you know the tension of settling down for a long rest after a perilous adventure, only to have your game master describe a new threat emerging from the darkness. Set A Watch encapsulates this nerve-wracking experience. In the game, you'll choose from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to strategize your defenses and combat the encroaching enemies.

What makes Set A Watch stand out is its transformation of a simple concept—adventurers resting—into an engaging blend of tower defense, strategy, and RPG puzzling. It masterfully conveys the struggle to survive an extended battle against the lurking dangers of the forest.

While 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 track the progress of this promising game.
