Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a procedurally-generated British horror in which tweed-wearing robots hunt you for sport. Roam the landscape, scavenge for food, hide breathlessly in the undergrowth, flee in terror, and even fight back with stolen weapons.

Sir is a stealth and survival game unlike any other.

And it now has multiplayer!

Every Game Unique!

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is set on a mysterious archipelago generated procedurally by you, and therefore unique to each game you play. You can define your own islands, each one created in moments by our rather clever British Countryside Generator. These islands are then populated by a raving aristocracy of murderous robots, their robot hounds, and worse. You job is simply to survive, and get home.

You're not entirely alone, though: The disembodied voice of Walters, your butler, will help you and offer advice.

Ultimate AI Threat

Sir's AI is one of the toughest in stealth, and as an open-world game, it's unique in its field. The robots are some of the most aggressive and intelligent game enemies you will ever experience, and will pursue you even after losing sight of you. Expect to be hunted!

The Most British Of Games

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is set in a parallel Britain, complete with bleak villages, rocky highlands, bramble-filled woodland, decrepit farms, and crumbling post-industrial landscapes. Made with the remarkable power of our British Landscape Generator, these landscapes are enormously evocative and teeming with detail. Take time to explore, and find that vital hidden flask of tea!

MP: We Have Trombones, Dogs

Update!

Dogs and trombones are now working in multiplayer. The trombone is networked up so that you can play "tunes" for multiplayer friends (the mouse wheel controls pitch.)

Yes.

An exceptionally productive week has resulted in some great new features and a tonne of bugfixes. Version 0.1.48 will now be LIVE on your Steam library if you've opted in to the beta. As always the full patch notes are below but some stand out features include: The return of the Dog NPC, higher damage from Players and most pleasingly of all, the playable trombone. You've always been able to adjust the pitch of this in singleplayer (with the scrollwheel), but seeing a group of chums trying to hold a tune on rusty digital instruments in a big multiplayer brass band is the clear high-watermark for the whole project...

It's worth emphasising that the damage received from other players is now much higher (a common request). We're expecting to roll out server controls for this in the next update so that server operators will be able to set the % of damage from players per-server however they want (including 0% to facilitate non-pvp servers) but this week we're testing out the upper levels. Shotguns to the face aren't just flesh wounds anymore...

As always we've been reading your comments on the Steam and BR forums and have implemented some requests (the higher player damage for one, chat history etc) but we're still hungry for your feedback and bug reports so keep them coming.

Thanks once again for your continued support and we'll see you on the islands!
