Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a comedic survival game, where you are stuck on a collection of small islands. You need to gather up fragments of an artifact and bring it back to a circle of runestones to create an escape portal.

You are being hunted by British robot gentlemen, though. So you need to be aware of your surroundings and keep quiet. Stealth is the key to survival in this game.

You will lose vitality over time and need to replenish it with food and/or drink. You can hunt game and cook it for fresh meat, or you can scavenge the abandoned villages for resources. Most options in the houses are dubious at best, though, and you need to decide just how important your survival is.

The robots are pretty intelligent, and they only get better as you raise the difficulty. They’re actively hunting you, so they will continue to pursue you forever. Your only hope of survival is to avoid them and, if caught, lose them or destroy them. If you are caught and killed, you will get a nice little screen showing off your survival stats for that game.

The five islands are randomly generated, so you never play the same map twice. You can pick between five biomes for each island: castle, industrial, rural, mountainous, and fenland. So you get a variety of terrain to run, hide and scavenge on.

The game is officially called Sir, You Are Being Hunted. But if you’re not a sir, there is an option on the main screen to switch to Madam, You Are Being Hunted. The disembodied voice of Walter, your butler, will refer to you by your chosen pronoun throughout the gameplay.

This is a silly, extremely British survival game, and it’s loads of fun to play, even for someone like me who hates survival games. Happy hunting!
