The Pony Factory isn't a very scary game. I was intrigued by the game due to it having some FPS elements and being a fan of the genre, however the FPS element in this game is about as fleshed out as the horror and the only thing that scared me was turning a corner expecting an enemy only for there not to be one. The story notes dotted around the levels are too long to care to read and for a game I beat in 20 minutes I'm glad I didn't spend more time on them. So maybe I missed out and The Pony Factory is hiding a secret masterpiece of human creativity beneath the lore notes, though I struggle to believe that considering the weapon they give you in the game might as well shoot toenail clippings at the enemies with how little damage it does. That being said if the gun did do more damage the game would only be 15 minutes instead of 20. The gameplay loop is incredibly simple, you walk through levels and there are horse people in each new room that you have to shoot, you shoot them and then you need to find some ammo which are usually also in every other room. This game is more of an ammo collector than a horror game, this game made me consider ammo more than resident evil games. This game isn't complete trash though, I'm sure it scared some people or that others liked it more than I did but it just feels like the two developers couldn't come to an agreement on whether to make a horror game or a boomer shooter and just kind of mashed them together in some sort of half-arsed forbidden meal.

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

Creepy interesting game and I loved every second of it
These are not my little friendly magical ponies
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.
Not that much tbh .. 4 / 10
Honestly. Scared the heck out of me. Was so f uking scary and all the ponys. The "jumpscares" really got to me hehe😅. But in a whole the game is really good. However i didnt care about the story... The story just doesn't seem interesting to me. Idk why but the creator of this game just didn't make a good way to come in the story. But as said i would give this game a 10/10 gameing experience. The story meh maybe 3/10 but overall a very great game👍
Keşke ilk başta Lights Out modunda oynasaymışım, el fenerini aldıktan sonra tüm gerilimi kayboldu. Yine de David abimiz candır.
