Pony Island
Format: Windows, Mac, Linux (Steam)
Genre: Endless runner/Puzzle solving hybrid (yes, really)
Length: About 3 hours will see you through the storyline, but be prepared to sink in a few more hours to find easter eggs and a second ending
Publisher's Blurb: Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself.
The devil detests having his puzzles solved and poor programming exposed; you will need to think outside the box to proceed and you will be insulted when you do.
Games Like This: Portal shares a few similarities, being a puzzle-solving game with an antagonist that attempts to control your actions and talks to you throughout, but Pony Island really is very different to anything I've seen or played before.
