Titanium Hound

Titanium Hound is a game about piloting a specialized police machine in a dark, near-future world shaped by corporate power, corruption and gang conflict. You are Grace Alarie, a 28-year-old special police force officer and Titanium Hound pilot who wants to protect ordinary people caught between rival gangs. Your record lists 295 deployments, 293 successful, six years in service and an average attestation result of 94%. Deployment d201 2047 012 is pending.

A world powered by living batteries

A scientific breakthrough made it possible to use microbe colonies as power sources across all aspects of life. The corporations that control their development and production have become powerful political forces, while crime, inequality and corruption have grown under their influence. Governments have reorganized their police forces and equipped them with advanced military gear in an effort to bring the chaos under control.

Teleportation technology enabled the creation of the power-generating bacteria. Non-organic objects remain unchanged when teleported, but organic materials do not, whatever their size. The first living batteries emerged through this process; fearing unpredictable mutations, governments declared further teleportation of organic materials illegal. The law has not stopped all abuse: large organic beings pulled through teleportation devices become abominations often called zombies.

Respond to urban threats

The Titanium Hound is a piloted complex designed to handle difficult situations in urban areas. You face abominations, hacked drones and gangsters driven mad, while trying to understand a wider problem. Although you are better equipped than a regular police unit, corporate regulations can limit what you are able to do.

Corporations, governments and gangs use gadgets and global networks to defend themselves and attack their rivals. Drones of different sizes and outfits are deployed when handling matters in person is too risky. Lethal machines of all kinds favor those with greater resources and a stronger grasp of cybersecurity protocols.
