A Descent into Madness

In Silly Polly Beast, players take on the role of Polly, a girl who has just escaped a terrifying orphanage. Unfortunately, her freedom comes with a price, as she plunges into the eerie depths of the underworld.

Polly must face haunting visions, twisted enemies, and painful memories from her past. The game mixes fast-paced gunfights, psychological storytelling, and survival horror elements, creating a tense and emotional experience.

Genre-Bending Gameplay

Silly Polly Beast combines several genres into one seamless adventure. Players can expect perspective-shifting combat, moving between top-down and side-scrolling shooter modes. In addition, there are stealth, puzzle-solving, and even skateboarding sections.

As Polly’s powers grow, her abilities in both combat and exploration also evolve. Players can use forbidden spells and powerful skills to survive the horrors hidden in the fog.

The Underworld Awaits

Throughout the journey, Polly will encounter many strange and mysterious denizens of the underworld. Some may offer guidance, while others are not as friendly.

Every encounter reveals more about Polly’s pact and the world she’s trapped in. The game’s atmosphere blends haunting visuals and unsettling music, building a dark yet captivating world.

Silly Polly Beast will launch globally with support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Ukrainian. Review keys will be available for Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
