Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a procedurally-generated indie survival horror game with a deeply British humorous influence, in which tweed-sporting robots hunt players for sport.

Players have to run around the landscape looking for food and supplies, take cover and hide and eventually fight back with stolen weapons.

Using the patented British Countryside Generator, developer Big Robot can offer a sandbox experience like no other, where each playthrough is completely different, and the choice to use violence or stealth to escape is left completely to the player.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is currently available on Steam Early Access, and the latest update to the game introduces a lot of changes to AI behavior and movement, as well as a completely new enemy, the terrifying Landowner.

"In a move that is likely to cause cups of tea to go cold across Britain and foreign places, the innovative game of stealth and survival gameplay has released its most fascinating and challenging version yet," as the developers themselves put it.
