First-person survival game Sir, You are Being Hunted debuts teaser trailer

"A tweedpunk entertainment aberration for Britons and foreigners."

Sir, You are Being Hunted is a first-person survival game set in randomly generated moors where you must stave off a league of aristocratic robot poachers and their mechanical hounds.

The game is being helmed by Rock, Paper, Shogtun guru Jim Rossignol at his indie outfit Big Robot. Rossignol described Sir, You are Being Hunted as a, "British indie S.T.A.L.K.E.R."

"The game gathers up elements of my favourite things: exploration, AI interaction, survival, robots, hot drinks, and blends them into a rich pixelly pulp," said Rossignol on the official site.

Developed in Unity, Sir, You are Bring Hunted utilises a "British Countryside Generator" that identifies certain staples of British agricultural terrain to ensure that each randomised map still feels cohesive and distinctly English.

Sir, You are Being Hunted isn't due until next year on PC and Mac, but take a look at its evocative debut trailer below.
