While Steam Next Fest is over (for now), there are a whole heap of demos staying out after curfew, including the unusual Silly Polly Beast. This story-driven shooter is an intriguing mix of psychological and supernatural horror, teenage angst, stylish neon horror-punk aesthetics and aggressive twin-stick shooter combat.
Polly isn't having a good day. She's a nervous, non-verbal kid on the run from the cops after torching her orphanage for reasons unknown. She's searching for her sister, who planned the arson with her, but seems to have fallen into the netherworld along the way. Polly's also agreed to a contract with some kind of tormented spirit (and its weird boggle-eyed dog), and been tasked with hunting monsters in the shadows. Things somehow only get worse from here.
