About the game
Set a Watch: Doomed Run is the culmination of the entire Set a Watch series into a campaign and big box storage solution. Showcasing content from the entire Set a Watch series (along with plenty of new content), you will play through 7 realms attempting to stop the mysterious cult behind resurrecting the Unhallowed. As you play through each realm, you will take on side quests to unlock new adventurers and their mythic items, while other adventurers will permanently perish along the way. Each Doomed Run is completely replayable and takes you across the 7 realms of the kingdom as you attempt side quests to unlock new adventurers and their powerful mythic items. —description from the designer

The listed playing time for Set a Watch: Doomed Run is 30–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
