HANDLER - - - HOUND is a tabletop 'mechsploitation' roguelike game for one or two players, in which players take on the role of the commanding officer or pilot of a mechanised battle-suit called the HOUND as they attempt to stake a claims on the ruins of an America that has been ravaged by factionalism, eldritch entities and a century of unchecked civil  conflict. HANDLER - - - HOUND is an asymmetric cooperative experience in which each player has different tasks and priorities which ultimately contribute to the success or failure of the mission at hand.

HANDLER - - - HOUND is ultimately an exploration of a relationship between a person who has been tasked to hurt someone very deeply for a ‘greater good’ and the person they hurt, who is tasked to hurt others in turn.
