What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're excited to welcome you on board our journey, and believe that your feedback during the Early Access Phase will allow us to make sure the game is fun, add more contents and polish it up to the maximum of its potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“"Salty Hounds" is scheduled to come out of Early Access sometime in the first half of 2025. Depending on how quickly we can respond to the feedback we receive during Early Access, we may adjust the timeline slightly.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the current version of the game, there is a cap on the affection level. We will remove this cap as we add and unlock more story contents.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Meet up with five gorgeous guys, progressing from strangers to friends, and from friends to lovers. As your relationship deepens, you will see them react differently when you bump into them, and say different things when you talk them up.
Create your own romantic adventure in a bustling open-world metropolis.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price when we leave Early Access and release the 1.0 version of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be collecting user feedback through the official forum of Steam for Salty Hounds. We encourage you to post bug reports and suggestions for the game here.”

Your Lovers

Fall in love with five unique characters, each with their own charm!

♥ Noru, the Chief Bodyguard

"I don't remember us ever being that close."

An aloof loner that borders on unsociable, but an excellent bodyguard in the field. Despite being a childhood friend of yours, he doesn't seem comfortable with you around.

♥ Seha, the Head of a Rival Company

"Is that really the sorta thing you should be asking your 'rival'?"

The young but capable head of the rival company, 'Haeryang Securities'. Both gentle and ruthless at will, he is a foe to be reckoned with.

♥ Taemin, the Cheerful Bodyguard

"What? Triple overtime pay? Be there in a second!"

A playful and suave bodyguard with soft but powerful leadership. You've come to accept his free spirit, but with that he'd at least wear a tie to work.
