Hound: Automaton

About

Hound: Automaton casts one player as a relentless robotic hunter while up to 15 others scramble to stay hidden. You’ll stalk or evade in detailed environments filled with tight corridors and dark corners. The hunter wields tools to track and flush out prey while survivors use limited resources to avoid detection. Fast-paced encounters favor quick thinking over brute force with every match hinging on positioning and timing. The game thrives on asymmetric tension with roles that demand different playstyles. The hunter’s view emphasizes motion sensors and audio cues while survivors rely on stealth and teamwork. With no dialogue or tutorials the focus stays on raw mechanics and player skill. Early access builds show strong replay value as strategies evolve between rounds. Multiplayer lobbies fill quickly online making it easy to jump into chaotic 1v15 chases at a moment’s notice.
