This was alright. David Szymanski has garnered a nice little following for himself after some bite-sized horror game hits. The Pony Factory is an improved iteration off something he made in 7 days and then spiffed up for this full release. The vibes are memorably creepy and off-putting as you make your way through this cursed locale and blast your way through some hideous horse-like monsters. The story is told through collectible papers that you find throughout the environment (not really my favorite way to do a narrative but it's fine for something like this). You'll pick up ammo and face off against increasingly difficult monsters until a final boss that took me a good bit to get the better of, and it's all over pretty quickly. This game isn't going to be for everyone but it's not too bad for a quick horror pick that you can get through in 30-60 minute session.
