About the Game

In a world of treachery, betrayal, and paw-some bravery, you are Francis the Frank, the noble dachshund once crowned king of the Weiner Kingdom. Stripped of your title during the Great Wienie War and cast into exile, you must rise once again to reclaim your throne and unite the fractured packs of the realm.

Hot Dawg is an open-world action RPG where size doesn’t matter—heart does. Explore a vast medieval world filled with danger, quests, and absurdity as you forge your path back to glory. Will you take back what is rightfully yours, or will the Weiner Kingdom fall into the paws of chaos forever?
