What do you think about when you read the title “Pony Island”? It’s probably a verdant island populated by ponies and rainbows, right? Either that, or you see this.

In fact, it’s a “suspense puzzle game in disguise.” The idea is to escape from a malfunctioning arcade game designed by the devil. It’s a kind of limbo – a place between life and death – where you’ll need to “think outside of the box” by delving into a bit of computer hacking.

 

Originally created for Ludum Dare, you can now purchase a fuller version of Pony Island over on Steam.
