In so many games nowadays, it’s a blessing if you get to pet the dog. Well, IMPRNT STUDIOS has gone one better and lets you become the dog in Hounded. The Kickstarter-funded title has been snooping around radars for a while, and the Insider Gaming Showcase revealed the next phase of its dogvelopment.
Duke is an adorable border collie who is more than meets the eye. You don’t have time to sit and scratch yourself, as you need to track down your master. You must run, leap, climb, and bark at trees (the ability to bark at bark is unconfirmed) to complete your adventure.
Hounded is a heart-warming adventure, and Duke looks to provide an intense beacon of light in an otherwise dark world. Learn more, thanks to the Insider Gaming Showcase.
Speaking of which, I’m pleased to announce that Hounded has signed a publisher deal already!
