About the Game

A dog’s loyalty knows no bounds.

Hounded is a third-person, story-driven adventure game set in a stunning Flintlock Fantasy world. You play as Duke, a determined young Border Collie on a perilous quest across the quaint countryside of Anglodia. You must find your missing master, Fletcher, the fugitive leader of the Rebellion against the usurper King Jaymes.

However, a cunning antagonist, The Hunter, has been sent to kill your master and is tracking your every move. Armed with your canine instincts and the strange magic of The Tide, you must run, leap, and sniff your way through a fractured land to spark hope in the darkness.

Key Features

  • You Are the Goodest Boy: Experience a heartfelt, cinematic story through the eyes of Duke - a loyal, stubborn, and incredibly smart Border Collie.

  • Flintlock Fantasy & Magic: Explore a beautifully rustic world where black-powder muskets meet the magical Tide, a supernatural energy source that grants Duke extraordinary abilities to witness Imprints - echoes of the past trapped in time.

  • Canine Instincts: Use your heightened senses and agility to track your master's trail, uncovering hidden secrets.

  • High-Stakes Cat & Mouse Chase: Outwit The Hunter, a relentless antagonist who’s tracking you down to find your master. Survive tense encounters and escape to shake him off your tail.
