Top Hat Studios and solo-dev Andrei Chernyshov are getting ready to unleash the stylish menace of Silly Polly Beast, a story-driven shooter that mixes narrative elements with survival horror, shooting and skateboarding. One might not expect every single one of those aspects to combine smoothly, but our interest is definitely piqued after checking out the announcement trailer.

As the video reveals, Chernyshov’s unique genre concoction is due out on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam on October 28. The launch will be global, including support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Ukrainian language options.

You can also check out a demo right now on Steam. Here’s an overview of what to expect:

• Embrace your Inner Demon, or be consumed by it.
  In Silly Polly Beast, you’ll traverse the nightmarish and often abstract depth of the underworld. Traversing through the dreaded fog, 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. 

• Encounter otherworldly denizens.
  The underworld is filled with many odd figures – some of which may not be on your side, but not necessarily against you. Along the way, no matter what events may unfold, never forget the pact you made which plunged you into this abyss. 

• Eclectic, genre-bending gameplay.
  Silly Polly Beast features a truly unique gameplay experience, blending fluid world exploration and puzzle solving with perspective-shifting battles. As you traverse the world, Polly’s powers will grow deadlier – and separately, so will her skateboarding skills! As the narrative deepens, you’ll come across an eclectic blend of topdown and side-scrolling shooter segments, survival horror segments, and even skateboarding. Master forbidden spells and find the only thing left that matters to you – Alice.
