The Pony Factory is short and not-so-sweet. You will slowly walk through a dilapidated factory killing three enemies repeatedly while a somewhat annoying song loops. In under twenty minutes, you too can steal the heart of The Pony Factory and kill some idiotic boss on your way out.

There isn't much to see, especially since the whole factory is extremely dark. You also literally retread your footsteps as you walk back the way you came, which for a twenty minute game feels extremely lazy. You get one uninteresting gun that gets a nearly useless upgrade. There are a few scattered writings to read that are somewhat funny, especially the one about the factory dumping tangible sin into the forest's water supply, which believe it or not is seemingly having consequences; but our “hero” Winston has been assured by Hell itself, who helps manage the factory, that these two things are not actually linked and he can stop worrying about it.

Its full price is $4 but honestly? I think that's asking for too much. This is a demo or experiment and it shouldn't be for sale. I do not recommend The Pony Factory.
