As gamers we are regularly bombarded with sequels, clones, or games that are simply derivative of industry standards that anyone who plays a lot of games is probably getting just a little bored of right now.<\/p>\n

But every now and then an indie developer somewhere squeaks out something just interesting enough to make me do a double take.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what “Sir, You Are Being Hunted” did when I stumbled across it on Big-Robot\u2019s website last night.<\/p>\n

Quirky sentence-structure title? Check.<\/p>\n

Interesting visual design? Check<\/p>\n

Kooky gameplay concept? Check.<\/p>\n

\"Sir,<\/a>

Sir, you are being hunted<\/p><\/div>\n

Sir, You Are Being Hunted looks to tap into the \u201crich seam of tweed-loving British science fiction to conjure a sinister reality where artificial gentlemen hunt humans for sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently the phrase \u201cBritish indie STALKER\u201d was thrown around a bit in design meetings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHunted is set in a recognisably British landscape. Its inhabitants are a mockery of the aristocratic country gent and his ecosystem. Robots that ape tea-drinking, poachers that lurk in reed-beds, and red-eyed hounds that patrol the moor: these are the things you will be dealing with as you fight for survival.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game gathers up elements of my favourite things: exploration, AI interaction, survival, robots, hot drinks, and blends them into a rich pixelly pulp,\u201d said Big-Robot\u2019s Jim Rossignol.<\/p>\n

More information, including videos and actual gameplay details are expected to be released in the next few days, so what this space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
