A Narrative Dog-Adventure ‘Hounded’ Finds a Publisher with Silver Lining Interactive

UK publisher Silver Lining Interactive and developer IMPRNT STUDIOS today announced a publishing partnership for Hounded – an upcoming third-person narrative dog-adventure game set in a dark Flintlock Fantasy world for PC. A gameplay trailer for Hounded will feature in the Insider Gaming Showcase on Thursday, 28 May at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST.

In Hounded, players step into the paws of Duke, a loyal young Border Collie searching for his missing master. Guided by scent, instinct, and a mysterious force known as The Tide, Duke must navigate a dangerous world filled with secrets, enemies, and unlikely allies in a desperate journey to reunite with the person he loves most.

“We’re delighted to partner with the exceptional team at IMPRNT STUDIOS on their new game Hounded,” said Luke Keighran, Founder and Managing Director at Silver Lining Interactive. “The game delivers a compelling emotional story, a rich fantasy world, and a wonderfully vibrant lead character – it is exactly the kind of project we love to champion!”

Calvin Williams, CEO and Co-Founder at IMPRNT STUDIOS, added: “We’re thrilled to be working with Silver Lining Interactive on Hounded. From the beginning, they understood the emotional core and creative ambitions behind the game.” Jack Walker, CCO and Co-Founder, continued: “We can’t wait to share more with players during the Insider Gaming Showcase on May 28.”

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign that achieved over 150% funding, Hounded has already surpassed 50,000 wishlists on Steam. The game was recently selected as a recipient of the GDC Festival of Gaming 2026 Scholarship Program.
