Our take on HOUND: AUTOMATON

The defining structure is its expanding hunter team: one player begins as the Hound, and each captured survivor joins the pursuit, changing the balance before the 5–7-minute round ends.

What is HOUND: AUTOMATON?

HOUND: AUTOMATON is a multiplayer horror game built around a 1-versus-many chase.

One player is randomly assigned as the Hound, a robotic entity pursuing up to 15 human survivors across environments such as warehouses and cemeteries. Survivors hide and coordinate while the Hound hunts them; players who are caught join the Hound’s side, changing the balance during the match. Each round lasts 5–7 minutes, supporting several games in one session. Settings can be adjusted for different group preferences. Maps include shipping-container warehouses, old churches, and graveyards, with moody lighting and atmospheric sound contributing to the horror setting.
