Hounds of the Meteor (v20241229) by the elusive collective Dogfactory New is not a game, nor a simulation, nor a video file. It is an executable myth. This paper argues that the work functions as a “transient bestiary”—a menagerie of creatures that exist only in the liminal space between code execution, user input, and the decaying data of a fictional impact event. By analyzing the version timestamp (2024-12-29) as a key to its ontology, we explore how Dogfactory New uses low-resolution 3D assets, recursive audio glitches, and a “scent-based” pathfinding algorithm to depict a world where meteor fragments birth cybernetic hounds. These hounds do not hunt the user; they hunt the memory of the meteor itself.
