Key information
Steam is currently offering the independent title Pony Island for free as part of a promotional strategy ahead of its upcoming sequel. Interested players can claim the game through the Valve storefront until October 12 at 19:00 Spanish peninsular time.
Created by Daniel Mullins, the developer behind Inscryption, Pony Island is a puzzle and suspense game set within a malevolent arcade machine. Despite its misleading title, the game does not feature ponies and focuses on a mysterious, devilish narrative.
The title holds a 94% positive review rating and offers a gameplay experience lasting approximately three hours. While the author notes that some elements feel rougher compared to Mullins' later works, the game is recommended for those interested in the developer's history or independent titles.
This promotion precedes the release of Pony Island 2: Panda Circus, which is scheduled for April 27, 2027. Although the sequel remains in development, Mullins recently initiated a testing phase for the project.
