Salty Hounds

Salty Hounds is an open-world dating sim in which you create your own love story. After your father has an accident, you take charge of Salty Hounds, a small bodyguard agency, and meet five love interests in a city with a day-and-night cycle.

Build relationships

Talk with the love interests, learn about them and build your relationships over time. Daily encounters, special events and romantic dates give you chances to win their hearts. As you become friends and earn their trust, you unlock events and romantic dialogue. Each character has a daily schedule, preferences and secrets to discover.

The city also has random encounters and activities that raise your skills. NPC dialogue changes according to your affection level and other stats.

The five love interests

• Noru: Your chief bodyguard and childhood friend is an aloof loner who is excellent in the field, but seems uncomfortable around you.
• Seha: The young, capable head of the rival company Haeryang Securities can be gentle or ruthless, and is a foe to be reckoned with.
• Taemin: A playful, suave bodyguard with soft but powerful leadership. You have come to accept his free spirit, though he still does not wear a tie to work.
• Yujin: A capable crime investigator seeking to create a world without injustice. He used to give you private lessons.
• Junho: A gullible bodyguard at a shady security agency who gets ripped off daily.
