• SCENT-O-VISION GOES LIVE! - 4 July 2024

  It's been a while since an update, but I've been receiving some player feedback that it's too uncomfortable to only rely on hearing. I haven't had the time I wanted to devote to completely redoing the scent mechanic until recently, sorry it took so long. But it's done! Each map now has a visual scent component that activates when you point Biscuit's nose at the scent. You can still use sound to figure out a rough direction of where the scent trail is but now you'll be able to use visual information too, for a more engaging playthrough. Let me know what you think and if you like it, PLEASE LEAVE A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION! If you don't like it, tell me! So I can fix it!

• Halloween Update is Live! - 31 October 2023

  You can now play the Halloween map! Explore a haunted cemetary with Hayden. Beware the Unseen! "Hundreds of years ago, a woman was burnt at the stake here, accused of witchcraft. But the legend goes that the three men that accused her were lying because she refused their marriage proposals. The fire burned high and bright…and as soon as the ropes binding her burned away, she walked forward calmly and untouched by the flame. The men lied about her accusations, but she was actually a witch. She laughed, and cursed the three men: they would wander these grounds for eternity, bodies twisted and transformed by their malice, taking their anger out on anyone that passes through." The first man, they call “The Red Brute.” He bullied the other two into lying about the woman. He stomps around until he sees a victim and walks right towards them, speeding up as he gets closer. Oh, there’s a quote h…

• Major Content Update - 5 October 2023

Come discover the updates and improvements to the graphics - particularly the lighting in woodland levels, and vegetation has been improved too. More new stuff ahead, including more new randomised and replayable missions!

• Beware the Unseen - 21 October 2022

  **THIS CONTENT IS FREE, AS THE CURRENT DEMO** Hayden's decided life is just a bit too exciting lately with all the saving of lives, so he's taken Biscuit sightseeing at a local "haunted" forest for some spooky Halloween fun. Little does he know that the forest is truly haunted by three angry spirits - The Unseen. Unlike other ghosts of legend and myth, they're real, and they disappear from sight right before they attack. Hayden can't detect them, however, and doesn't believe in the stories. You do, because you can see and hear them! It's your job to figure out which spirit is stalking Hayden, where they're coming from and what you need to do to scare them away. There are six sites of interest in the level - three graves, and three shrines. Visit them all, and you'll earn two cosmetic rewards - a jack o'lantern hat, and a witch's hat. These can be worn at any time during the year, in gam…

• Steam Scream Festival - 17 October 2022

  "What if dogs never bark at nothing - they're barking at things we can't see, to scare them away?" Hayden and Biscuit are taking a break and doing some sightseeing in a haunted graveyard, but the inhabitants haunting the graveyard have other plans for Hayden. Can Biscuit keep him safe while he visits various tombs and shrines?

• Update notes for 15/10/22 - 15 October 2022

  Fixed Twitch Integration to make it accessible, as it wasn't before. Now it's part of the scroll menu, and narrated.

• Update Notes for 10/10/22 - 10 October 2022

  Some players reported a sort of "hearing exhaustion" so to compensate, the Supersniffer mechanic has been altered. Now, when you sniff, you will see a visual indication on the trail for 7 seconds. It will not appear again until your Supersniffer charge bar has charged back up, which takes 25 seconds.

• Scent Trail Overhaul and Twitch Integration - 20 September 2022

  Scent Trail Overhaul People have given feedback that the scent trail can be overwhelming and disorienting at times. It has been simplified - instead of a "road of sound", now it's a single node of sound that moves as you chase it. Follow the sound, that's all you have to worry about. Casual Mode Overhaul Casual mode is now much more satisfying and intuitive. Twitch Integration Twitch is now fully integrated into Lost and Hound! Streamers, click the Twitch button in the main menu to connect and wait for the loading screen to disappear. Type !help in your Twitch channel to get a list of commands your audience can type to change gameplay in various ways - your audience can type !cat to spawn a cat that will creep up to you and yowl and run away, or !zoomies to refill your stamina bar.
