How do I uninstall this game? It's not present in the software centre and when I look into the usr file under GOG, the 'uninstall.sh' file doesn't appear to be doing anything at all. Nor can I just delete the entire SYABH file.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Bear in mind: I'm new to Linux, currently using Xubuntu 14.04.

You've got several options, mainly depending on how you installed the game.

That's from GOG support:
If you used our DEB installer, simply remove the game using your package manager. You can do so with the command:
apt-get remove <gog_game_package>

If you used the optional installer that comes with each tarball, we provide a simple shell script to uninstall the game. It will be located in the game directory.

If you simply extracted the tarball, deleteting the directory will be enough to remove it completely.

Perfect! Much obliged!

Managed to uninstall it but the SYABH file is still there though (opt/GOG/SYABH). Any way to delete it?

Yes, you can simply delete it by typing the following command into a terminal window or press Alt + F2 and write it there:
sudo rm opt/GOG/SYABH

sudo - gives you root access
rm - removes the folder SYABH

But be careful deleting files and folders this way, as it circumvents the trash bin. The files will be gone for good.

Hm, the terminal says no such files exist. The exact folder name is:

opt/GOG GAMES/Sir You Are Being Hunted

The command I entered was:

sudo rm opt/GOG GAMES/Sir You Are Being Hunted

Did I do something wrong?

It doesn't work because of the spaces in the folder's name. Try this:

sudo rm "opt/GOG GAMES/Sir You Are Being Hunted"

or this:
sudo rm opt/GOG\ GAMES/Sir\ You\ Are\ Being\ Hunted

EDIT: Linux' file systems are usually case-sensitive, hence writing the correct upper- and lower-case is important.

Tried both options and it's still not gone. The terminal keeps saying there's no such file or location whilst the file is very much still present. Tenacious little bugger...

Anyway, thank you kindly for the help! You seem to know your way around Linux. I on the other hand have got quite a lot to learn, not sure I have the patience or courage to persist. It's all very confusing to me.
