When we think of adventuring, our minds often jump straight to the thrill of combat against fearsome creatures. However, the quiet moments between these intense encounters are just as crucial, and that's precisely what the upcoming game, Set A Watch, aims to explore. Originally a board game, this innovative title is set to make its digital debut on Steam, iOS, and Android, offering a fresh take on the downtime experienced by adventurers.
In Set A Watch, players are tasked with defending a campfire against relentless waves of monsters, capturing the tension of a long rest in a tabletop RPG (TTRPG) where danger lurks just beyond the safety of the firelight. The game challenges you to choose from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and use dice rolls to strategize and fend off the encroaching threats. Each lull between enemy waves becomes an opportunity to prepare for the next assault, transforming the simple act of resting into a complex strategy puzzle.
This game ingeniously blends elements of tower defense, strategy, and puzzling, all wrapped in an RPG format that vividly brings to life the struggle to survive during a long rest. The mechanics, originally developed for the board game, are fully fleshed out in this digital version, promising a rich and engaging experience.
While the game's Steam page is already up and running, we're still awaiting listings for iOS and Android, as well as an official release date. Keep an eye out for more updates on Set A Watch, as it promises to deliver a unique and compelling gaming experience.
