Pony Factory feels like something you weren’t supposed to find. It’s not clean, not friendly, not even trying to make sense in a normal way. It just throws you into this ugly, uncomfortable little world and lets it sit there, rotting in your head. It’s short, yeah, but it doesn’t waste a second trying to impress you, it just is. This isn’t polished horror, this is raw, almost hostile indie stuff that sticks whether you like it or not. 10/10, feels like you peeked into something forbiden
This kind of feels like a mashup of old walking sim Szymanski games, and newer boomer shooter type Szymanski games. But weirdly the FPS parts of this one are the weaker aspect, while the random notes and atmosphere actually come out on top. Perhaps the most striking thing is the colour palette. Really great greyscale tones and good use of lighting make this actually quite a pretty and atmospheric game. The decision to be more tongue-in-cheek with the horror-log aspect works out better than the previous attempts to be serious and dramatic about it, at least for a short experience like this. The thing about it is that it's just not very fun as a shooter. On the normal difficulty the enemies feel unsatisfying, more like hit sponges, and throughout the game they're arranged in ways that feel cheap, like they're just banking on you either not being able to see them in the dark or that they'll surprise you from around a corner and get some free hits in. There's really no variety to the enemies, they all just bum rush you. Hunting around for health and ammo and not being able to see the amount of bullets loaded in your gun are cool things for an imsim, but this is more of a boomer shooter/horror hybrid, so it feels at odds. It's kind of just unfun to play as a result- much better to stick it on casual mode and just enjoy the visuals and the small amount of lore, and finish it before it gets repetitive and boring. Still a lot better than the walking sim games though. It's another one I'd give a neutral rating to, if Steam allowed it, but I'd pick a yes over a no, since I have to.
A short and simple half hour horror game. That luckily didnt overstay its welcome. The game is relatively simple, walk dark corridors, kill the creatures, get what you need and then walk out again. The combination of dark hallways and having to swap between your flashlight and gun works really well. Your shots lighting up the hallways creates a certain level of dread when you try to shoot the monsters. And them running at you fast really makes the dread feel over the top. The dark/grey atmosphere makes it feel extra hard to distinguish between what is a monster and what is the background. And the colors you do finally see feel extra impactful. I do have some problems with it, the gameplay gets old really fast. with only 2 enemies (which have 1 smaller and one bigger varient) you always know what you need to do. The AI is also not always the best, as standing in certain spots will just make the AI walk a pattern instead of attack you. Because of these problems, the game being short is a good thing, as I think it would otherwise encroach on a tedious/annoying experience. Also, the final boss is very meh. It wasnt really a challenge or as impactful as I wouldve hoped. Overall, I can recommend the game. Maybe get it on sale. Just keep in mind that what you get in the first level, is what you will get for the rest of the game.
