Top Hat Studios and Anji Games have announced that Silly Polly Beast, a story-driven psychological survival action horror title, is headed to Nintendo Switch 2 with a planned November release window.
The developers also released a gameplay trailer alongside the reveal and provided an overview of the game's setting, mechanics, and tone.
Background and release
Silly Polly Beast is described by its creators as a blend of narrative-driven horror and action-focused survival, following a young protagonist named Polly.
The game is targeting Nintendo Switch 2 for a November launch; however, the teams have not yet provided a specific day.
A trailer is available from the announcement and demonstrates the game's atmosphere and dual-perspective combat.
What the developers say (rewritten)
Top Hat Studios and Anji Games characterize Silly Polly Beast as a tale of a perpetually unlucky girl who flees a nightmarish orphanage only to become trapped in an underworld city consumed by a deadly fog.
The developers explain that Polly navigates this otherworldly realm with a fog-detecting bracelet and encounters a range of denizens—some ambiguous in intent—while remaining bound to a pledge that drew her into the abyss.
Gameplay alternates between side-scrolling and top-down views, and players expand Polly’s capabilities by learning forbidden spells that increase her combat potency.
