Pony Island is a video game developed and published by Canadian indie developer Daniel Mullins. As a metafictional game, the game has the player interact with what appears to be an old arcade cabinet game called "Pony Island". The player soon discovers the game is corrupted by Lucifer himself, who is trying to claim the player's soul. The player is aided by the soul of a previous player who helps the player access Pony Island's internal programming to get around the traps left by Lucifer and save not only his soul, but the many tormented souls that are trapped within the game's code.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Pony Island is built around one joke and it's exactly long enough that the joke stays funny and doesn't get old.
I'd give it about a 9.8/10 would be a 10/10 my only complaint is there is no controller compatability that is native to the game but overall it's a game I'd recommend going in blind (asides from the trailer ofc and even then I'd recommend against that)
A bold and twisted meditation on the tyranny of creation, fueled by dark comedy and constant disruptions lurking around every corner, relentlessly breaking the fourth wall until not even the rubble remains.
