What is Sir, You Are Being Hunted?

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is an indie survival horror video game developed by Big Robot and released in 2014. The game takes place in an alternate history 1920s British countryside where the player character must evade murderous robots across several procedurally generated islands.

The premise is that the British aristocracy have used advanced robots to take over the country and hunt humans for sport. As one of the surviving humans, the player must sneak, run, and fight their way through these islands while scavenging for supplies and finding a way to escape. The killer robots have sophisticated AI and hunt the player relentlessly.

Gameplay involves stealth mechanics like staying hidden in tall grass, exploring abandoned buildings, and using distractions. Combat is possible but very dangerous given the superior numbers and weaponry of the robots. There is also a day/night cycle and weather system that affects visibility and robot patrols.

The game generates new islands with every playthrough, keeping the landscape unpredictable. The British countryside atmosphere and music contrast with the science fiction threat of the robots for an unsettling, unique tone. While very difficult, there is also a detail-rich sandbox available for players seeking emergent experiences.
