Immersive Open World
Enjoy a dynamic daily life in a living and breathing modern open-world city, drawn in beautiful pixel art of the highest quality.
This city has got plenty of places to explore and many fun activities, including mini-games, to engage in and enjoy.
Living and Breathing Love Interests
Meet a cast of unique love interests acting in their own interest and roaming around the city on their own schedules. Your interaction with them will change depending on many different factors, such as their current condition and the level of affection towards you, and more.
-
If your lover is sick or injured, you could stop by his home and nurse him.
-
If you ever stand up your date, he can get really mad at you.
-
If you call someone late at night at a low affection level, he could get upset. But at a high affection level, they might instead ask you not to hang up. 😁
-
The five love interests have all got different tastes and preferences, showing diverse reactions when gifted with an item. Finding and trading stuff for the best gift items can really help with your romantic pursuits!
True Dating Sim
The dating is the cherry on top of the romance in <Salty Hounds>.
Find out what your partner likes, plan your day ahead and execute a perfect date in a dynamic game that tests your social skills. High-Intensity romance awaits you at the end of every perfect date, so do your best - and have fun doing it!
Your Actions and choices on a date can result in success or failure.
Right after a great date, a special romance event would occur, such as your date escorting you back home and spending a more intimate time together!
Also, if you keep dating more than one partner, sometimes you might find yourself in a slightly awkward situation.
But we won't discourage you from pursuing your love in multiple places. 😁
Non-linear Events and Story
Our primary goal is delivering a long-term romantic adventure that shows the characters fall in love gradually, step by step. You will be able to live a virtual life with a main focus on romance, interacting with a cast of characters with a huge amount of diverse dialogues that are designed react to your actions.
You can receive phone calls from the love interests from time to time. Have a look at the samples below to see what these intimate phone calls would be like.
(The Special Phone Call DLC contains at least 200 new phone call events for all 5 characters in total!)
Receive text messages and answer them through dialogue choices. 💖
The love interests will often message you to talk about work, your relationship and the things you have experienced together, such as your recent date.
