In Silly Polly Beast, you’ll join the ever-unlucky Polly as she escapes from the nightmare of an orphanage she was raised in, only to plunge into the darkness of the underworld. In this eclectic, genre-bending shooter-meets-survival horror adventure, you’ll traverse otherworldly, often abstract environments and overcome hellish challenges to fight not only for your freedom, but for the only thing you have left – Alice. Prepare yourself for the ultimate fight for freedom in Silly Polly Beast on October 28^th on both Xbox Series S|X and Xbox One Systems – and by the way, stay clear of the fog.

Alongside Polly, you’ll traverse through the underworld, avoiding the dreaded fog. Along the way you’ll engage in aggressive gun fights, outsmart enemies, sneak in the shadows, solve puzzles, work with unlikely allies, and travel with your trusty skateboard. The world of Silly Polly Beast is a unique experience set in a world that treads the line between fever dream nightmare and idyllic eastern bloc fantasy. How far will you go in the fight for your freedom?

Poor Polly isn’t alone in the underworld. It’s filled with an odd, sundry mix of denizens that lurk in the shadows, often with their own goals – and morals. Not all of these denizens will be against you – but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily on your side either. As you interact with these odd figures, remember – you ultimately have but one goal. Are they really aiding you, or distracting you? No matter what events may unfold, remember – never forget the pact which plunged you into the abyss.

Silly Polly Beast features a truly unique gameplay experience which fluidly blends world exploration and puzzle solving with high octane, perspective-shifting battles. As the narrative deepens, you’ll encounter an eclectic mix of top-down and side scrolling shooter battles, survival horror segments, and even skateboarding ones. Polly’s power will grow deadlier over time – master forbidden spells and remember your goals.

A labor of love developed by a solo developer over the course of several years, Silly Polly Beast promises a unique, auteur-lead vision that isn’t bound by normal genre conventions. The narrative will shift and change just as much as the gameplay as you make your way through the underworld. Along the way you’ll explore eerie realms, confront figures which haunt Polly’s past, and master forbidden spells. Will you escape, or will the demons claim you first?

Developed by Andrei Chernyshov with co-development help, porting assistance for Xbox, and publishing by Top Hat Studios, Silly Polly Beast launches on October 28th. Add it to your wishlist now!
