How it feels

A darkly funny FPS where you fight agile horrors in a surreal, noir-tinged hell factory, relying on muzzle flashes and sound to survive the oppressive darkness.

What players say

Players say The Pony Factory is a very short horror FPS, taking about 40 minutes. It has only one gun and two enemy types with simple AI. The extreme darkness is a common point, with some praising the flashlight effect on OLED screens. Opinions split sharply: some see it as a low-effort title from the creator of Iron Lung, while others enjoy the brief experience.
