- Description
-
"Hound" is used in specific indie game fandom contexts—such as Slay the Princess—to playfully describe an excessively obedient, loyal follower who instantly obeys every command given by a narrative voice or authority figure. Within these gaming communities, players wear their uncritical compliance as a badge of honor, contrasting sharply with characters who question or rebel against the game's narrator. The term draws on imagery of a hunting dog eagerly chasing game or waiting for its master's next word without hesitation. Referring to oneself as a hound highlights a humorous willingness to blindly follow narrative prompts right into traps or absurd outcomes.
- Example
-
— Did you argue with the narrator when the spooky voice told you to pick up the blade? — Absolutely not, I am a certified hound who listens to every single instruction without questioning authority. — Well, congratulations on speedrunning the most tragic ending in gaming history.
A devoted gamer sitting upright with laser focus, ready to sprint into any lethal dungeon trap the moment an omniscient narrator mildly suggests it's for the greater good like an obedient hound.
— Why did you trust the disembodied voice immediately? — Because I knew I'd make a good hound from the very first dialogue prompt. — That blind obedience is going to get us all killed by a multi-headed princess deity.
