Deceptive Game About Purgatory Inside an Arcade Machine, "Designed by the Devil Himself," Is Being Given Away on Steam - in Honor of the Sequel's Showing

Recently, developer Daniel Mullins Games released the trailer for Pony Island 2: Panda Circus, announced a playtest, and launched a giveaway of the original game.

The project is positioned as a “phantasmagorical journey through time, mythology, divinity, and video games.” The protagonist was a young nomad who planned to conquer the world, but premature death condemned him to an “Earthly prison”: “Now you must escape the majestic deities of the underworld, while preserving your sanity and soul.”

You can add Pony Island 2: Panda Circus to your Steam wishlist and sign up for the playtest via the following link. The release is scheduled for April 27, 2027.

Players have the opportunity to add Pony Island to their Steam libraries. The author describes it as an “intense game with a false guise.” According to the plot, the player finds themselves in purgatory, inside a sinister and malfunctioning arcade machine, designed by the devil himself. The local Devil doesn't like it when someone successfully solves puzzles and “uncovers his unreliable programs.” Players will have to think outside the box to overcome the challenges.

The Pony Island page on Steam is available via the following link. The giveaway will last until October 12 (Monday), 20:00 Moscow time.

There's a catch: collectible Steam cards are not issued for games obtained for free during the promotion.
