The action/adventure platformer sees Skully, a reanimated skull's second chance at life, on a quest to stop a simmering war between feuding siblings.

Skully is a brand new game set within an island paradise on the brink of war where payers will befriend the isle's lone hope of peace, Skully, a lively reanimated skull which can take on new forms (and powers) by using the island's pools of magical clay.

Summoned by a local deity desperate for peace among his kin, Skully can sculpt new abilities from pools of magical clay found throughout the lush island he has washed up on.

Skully must hop, skip, and roll through this diverse island habitat teeming with obstacles and puzzles to intervene in a feud between the deity’s three siblings whose quarrel jeopardizes the place they call home.


Gameplay in Skully’s debut trailer shows just a few ways the headstrong hero’s clay-boosted forms can open up new areas of the unpredictable landscape.

"We fell in love with the story and the madcap mechanics behind it,” said Shane Bierwith, EVP of global marketing at Modus Games. Followed Christina Seelye, CEO of Modus: “To say this game is unique is an understatement.”

“We're really excited to share Skully with the world,” said Daniel Posner, CEO of Finish Line Games. “We think a lot of people will connect with the game, and its heroic journey of a seemingly unimposing character destined to accomplish great things.”

Key Features:

  • Hop, skip and roll your way to victory. Overcome obstacles across the island as Skully, a reanimated skull brought back to life by the power of magical clay.
  • Adapt to your environment. Transform into three distinct forms to overcome challenges and defeat enemies.
  • Traverse a mysterious island. Roll through 18 different levels in 7 distinct ecosystems each packed with unique dangers.
  • Explore a compelling story. Fully voiced dialogue and cutscenes breathe life into the island’s inhabitants and the charming world of Skully!
  • Stop a destructive rivalry. Discover the secret behind the deity’s family conflict and end their quarrel.

Skully rolls onto Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) on August 4, 2020 for $29.99.
