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

When you think of adventuring, the thrill of combat often comes to mind first. Yet, the moments between battles—the downtime—can be just as crucial and tense. This is the core concept behind Set A Watch, a unique dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's making its way to iOS and Android devices soon.

Originally a board game, Set A Watch has been adapted into a digital format, now available on Steam, and soon to be released on mobile platforms. The game places you in the shoes of adventurers trying to keep a campfire burning amidst waves of monsters emerging from the darkness. It captures the essence of those nail-biting moments when, after a perilous journey, you're forced to fend off new threats during what should have been a peaceful rest.

In Set A Watch, you'll choose from six distinct heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle various challenges and fend off the creatures intent on extinguishing your light. The game transforms the simple idea of a long rest into a gripping blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzling RPG gameplay, simulating the struggle to survive a prolonged battle against the forest's lurking horrors.

While Set A Watch has a presence on Steam, specific release dates for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as we eagerly await its arrival on mobile devices.
