VIDEO: A LONGER LOOK AT BIG ROBOT’S SIR, YOU ARE BEING HUNTED

As the game just manages to squeak past its £40,000 Kickstarter goal — with some 24 days left to go — UK indies Big Robot have just published the first real-live gameplay trailer of their upcoming ‘tweedpunk’ game Sir, You Are Being Hunted, which proves it to be more or less exactly what I hope for from any first-person shooter: a tense and cerebral slow-stalking & stealthy creeper.

With their goal met, the team have just detailed more automaton foes & new ‘stretch’ rewards, should the campaign continue as strongly as it has over the past few days, including ‘The Landowner’, a new NPC robot, the ability to hunt pheasant & rabbit across its landscape for sustenance, and entirely new island dominated by a dynamically generated ruined castle.
