Own Synopsis Idea

I'm calling it Hunted.

There is a small British country side where our main protagonist wakes up to find they are in a different world, though our protagonist doesn't realize this at this point. The surroundings are quiet and the protagonist is oblivious to what had just happened. The country side is somewhat abandoned, and all that can be heard is the sounds of the wildlife. The pacing of the story is somewhat slow at this point, then a bleeping noise can be heard and the protagonist needs to run.

The protagonist realizes they needed some supplies, like food and drink, so in order to survive they have to loot some nearby abandoned houses. The protagonist also have to find a weapon whilst also dodging the robot enemies. The protagonist also needs to find distraction and vantage points to obtain the Stone Pieces which are guarded by robots that intend to kill the protagonist on sight. The protagonist must collect a certain amount of stones to actually get back home.

The robots intend to keep the humans away from their world by hunting and killing them with firearms. The protagonist has to use wit and agility to dodge and sneak past the hunting robots.

The story will continue with someone else ending up in the world, so then they decide to team up. 

The both manage to collect all of the pieces, but the main character had been caught by a bullet, leading the story to end in an abrupt cut to black.


This idea is based on a game called 'Sir, You are Being Hunted' where you as the player have to use wit and agility to dodge the robots. The player also has a choice to use combat to flee the robots. I found that if the story was somewhat adapted to a horror, the story could work. Usually within the game the player is always on edge, so this tension can be used effectively to create a good horror trailer.
