With Halloween coming soon, a fresh wave of horror is here, and Silly Polly Beast is the most unique. This psychological survival action horror game, made by indie dev Andrei Chernyshov (Anji Games) and published by Top Hat Studios, launches on October 28, 2025. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

At its core, the game puts you in the role of Polly, a girl who enters a nightmare world after a bad deal. The main idea is: “Embrace Your Inner Demon, or Be Consumed by It.” This choice follows you as you search for Alice, the only good thing left. Thick fog fills the strange landscape, hiding paths and threats. Ruined buildings and glowing eyes show you that this world wants to break you.

You can explore freely and solve puzzles that link to the story, like changing your view to find hidden doors or weak spots on monsters. Combat starts with perspective changes: sometimes it’s a top-down shooter where you dodge many bullets, or a side-scroller that feels like an old arcade game.

Stealth is used for tense moments where one wrong sound brings the enemies. Gathering resources means you must be smart about your choices. Plus, there’s skateboarding, an interesting twist for moving across gaps or grinding rails to build speed and skills.
