Silly Polly. Stupid, silly Polly - you've ruined everything. Want a cracker? Descend into the abyss, and face the beast. Brutal battles, devious puzzles, and scars of the past hide the one thing that matters - Alice. SILLY POLLY BEAST is out now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Your kids spend 7 hours a day in a building designed like a prison, following bells, asking permission to speak, and learning to fear authority figures who aren't their parents. And you call homeschoolers "weird" for opting out of this system.
