What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Salty Hounds is praised for its engaging writing, beautiful pixel and CG art, excellent voice acting, and charming characters that make players genuinely invested in both the dating and job management aspects. However, players note that many job contracts remain incomplete, event triggers are unclear without a calendar system, and unimplemented features in the dating loop can lead to confusion and missed dates, though most seem optimistic about future updates since the game is still in development.
I am struggling to either like or dislike this game. It has potential to be one of my all time favorites, it's as mixture of [blank] simulator and dating sim. I especially like it bc it has that job simulator prospect; I don't just have to be a blank canvas since I am managing my own firm. It's just that basically none of the actual jobs are completed and there's no end to the aquarium contract. Another complaint is how I dont have a calendar of when certain special events trigger. After several weeks of no action just me trying to get 'ideas', I finally gave up on job hunting and focused instead of the men. Tell me why now all of the sudden I'm getting events and am accidentally standing up these men. I'm getting annoyed since I still have not gone on a date. I'm failing both my job and romance life. smh Overall would recommend. Just frustrated...3 found this helpful
actual underrated banger! the writing is so engaging and charming, the cg art and pixel art is beautiful, the localisation is very well done... and the VAs' work is legitimately so good! even if you dont speak the language, you can appreciate how well they bring characters to life. AND MC?? i so get why everyone wants her, I ALSO WANT HER!! i literally cannot express enough how good this is. i usually get bored of games that have to do with routine and repetition but this game handles that really well, with so many different interactions, scenes, locations... you actually want to explore and check every nook and cranny! it has a really good balance between things to do and time to explore and wind down so it doesn't feel stressful either. the characters (including mc) and plot are so well thought out and the themes and character arcs are so refreshing (take it from someone who has played most otomes out on the switch and psvita). i always come back whenever im saturated from other games/genres because its such a palate cleanser (and its still on early access!)... i already know when it fully releases it's going to be such a comfort game. i wont talk too much about possible b…3 found this helpful
[i]“I’m sorry, was I holding your hands for too long?”[/i] Being walked home by my date, that one really got me. I was puzzled by that cuteness. Just the day before, I had a fantastic moment with Seha, analysing security vulnerabilities together in the hotel lobby. It was a cute and natural flow of conversation and flirting, making you almost addicted to grinding ideas together as you watch him charmingly sip his coffee. As you will already know, the pixel-art atmosphere is absolutely awesome. So, with two nice men to date, I seem to have a problem now… Alongside the ongoing implementation of collective moments, the game is becoming more and more enjoyable. Since there are still unimplemented parts, e.g. in the dating loop and relating to daily activities, and only the early character stories have been implemented and released to the players so far, I recommend adding this cosy game to your Wishlist and keeping an eye on its development to see when the right time is for you to join in. I myself am following the development with great anticipation and look forward to every new feature along the way.2 found this helpful
Unique game with fun characters and fantastic art! Always excited for new updates! Keep up the good work, Devs! <32 found this helpful
The stories and characters revealed are written well. The visuals from illustrations, backgrounds and pixel work are beautiful and lovely~ The voice acting is so nice! Glad I had the chance to play this in Early Access !! Highly recommend! Everything I experienced in Early Access and the updates in this phase makes me so excited for the full version this year <32 found this helpful
I like the voice acting and the graphics artwork are pretty. Its slow pace but there are interesting events on and off. There is a small bug - unable to buy popcorn again after used it for first date. For 2nd date on next weekend, it just keep saying I have the popcorn but it wasn't use during the movie. Otherwise, the game is pretty smooth. Hope to unlock the bar soon (coming in October) and maybe more places for dates. Thks for updating after my review ! [thumbs up]
