  • Unique and effective horror atmosphere blending My Little Pony infection AU with survival horror elements.
  • Strong sound design and jump scares that provide genuine tension and fear.
  • Detailed and creepy infected pony designs with engaging lore and story elements that maintain player interest.
  • Gameplay suffers from frustrating difficulty spikes, especially in the maze section, with inconsistent enemy mechanics and poor stealth implementation.
  • Lack of quality-of-life features such as customizable controls, settings menu, save points, and difficulty options leading to player discomfort.
  • Technical issues and bugs like clipping, falling through the map, enemy respawns on retry, and occasional game freezes reduce overall polish and enjoyment.

  • story

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The story is praised for its engaging, atmospheric, and unique narrative that effectively uses tension, scarcity, and environmental storytelling to build immersion. While still unfinished and somewhat simple, players are invested and eager to see future updates and how the plot will unfold. Some suggest deeper world-building and notes from in-game characters to enhance immersion, but overall the story is considered a strong and compelling aspect of the game.

    • “The result is a short but atmospheric experience that relies on tension, scarcity, and environmental storytelling to leave a lasting impression, even in its current early access state.”
    • “This understated approach works in the game’s favor, allowing imagination and atmosphere to do much of the storytelling heavy lifting.”
    • “So far this game is awesome, the concepts, story that is currently shown is all very unique, the lighting system is also very refreshing, I love what's out, and when you have your shotgun loaded it feels awesome, also the artstyle in pages is amazing; definitely worth it if you're interested, been excited for it to drop and can't wait to see more!”
    • “The 'story' elements are just reading and I just found myself ignoring them.”
    • “That's not building the atmosphere - if developer or devs: I suggest building a slow immersion; like slowly walking around ruins and dead bodies, seeing subtle details like paint that says 'this place is cursed' or 'please help me,' adding notes not only from a father but also from survivors/dead ponies telling their story, what happened to them and how they died or their close ones.”
    • “I was expecting this to be a run and gun but no, it has a storyline and it makes you feel fear for your character with all the different versions of zomb ponies.”

  • gameplay

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 59% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a mix of intriguing horror mechanics and a compelling story but suffers from inconsistent enemy behavior, poor controls, and technical issues like camera problems and unclear instructions. While some appreciate the immersive design and puzzle elements, others find the mechanics frustrating and the experience unfinished due to minimal quality-of-life features and limited variety. Overall, it feels like an early or demo version with potential that is hindered by uneven execution.

    • “However, the enemy creatures and their mechanics are great, intriguing and really thrilling.”
    • “The notes scattered about from the player's father is, in my opinion, a very cute way to teach mechanics without breaking immersion.”
    • “The gameplay as of now, has you navigating through linear areas, solving simple puzzles, and crawling or hiding to avoid various enemies.”
    • “Quality-of-life features and mechanical variety are minimal, and occasional technical hiccups remind players that this is a work in progress rather than a finished product.”
    • “Enemy mechanics are very inconsistent (and poorly explained), the crates that you have to push to get the shotgun consistently break the camera, the maze section is extremely tedious (and borderline unfair), and there's no way to change any of the game's settings.”
    • “The game's inconsistent mechanics make it frustrating to get past certain parts like the labyrinth, there's a lack of updates from the developer, and he reportedly trend-hops, indicating no intention of finishing the game.”

  • atmosphere

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its effective use of tension, environmental storytelling, and immersive design, creating a chilling and dread-filled experience even in early access. Its subtle, slow-building immersion and unique surreal horror elements stand out, avoiding cheap jump scares in favor of a haunting, dreamlike vibe. While some improvements in pacing and AI are suggested, the overall tone and mood remain the game's strongest assets.

    • “The result is a short but atmospheric experience that relies on tension, scarcity, and environmental storytelling to leave a lasting impression, even in its current early access state.”
    • “Despite these limitations, the game’s strongest asset is its commitment to atmosphere and tone.”
    • “Introducing the player to the concepts of how each threat works, while allowing them to explore the world given, the atmosphere hits this perfect vibe that makes a game scary, the sense of dream but having to push forward, excellent.”
    • “That's not building the atmosphere. I suggest creating a slow immersion by gradually exploring ruins and dead bodies, noticing subtle details like faint paint marks or messages such as 'this place is cursed', 'where the Celestia?', or 'please help me'. Adding notes not just from a father, but also from survivors or dead ponies telling their stories and how they died would enhance the atmosphere.”
    • “I love the monster designs, story, and some atmosphere, but the atmosphere was destroyed in the beginning.”
    • “The maze and AI need fixing because the game is tricky when everything can see you even while sneaking. The atmosphere and the lack of direct jump scares make it a fresh take on horror, but the difficulty impacts the experience.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 22% neutral mentions, 22% negative mentions

    The game's graphics receive high praise for their distinctive and visually appealing art style that cleverly blends colorful, cartoonish elements with horror themes. The lighting and atmospheric design stand out as particularly impressive, enhancing immersion. However, some users note the lack of graphic customization options for lower-end devices and minor control discomforts.

    • “The diary art style is 10/10.”
    • “On the plus side, the art style does a good job blending the technicolor world of MLP with the horror of a zombie invasion.”
    • “The lighting system is very refreshing and enhances the unique concept and story; the art style in pages is amazing.”
    • “More quality of life features would greatly improve gameplay, including a settings menu to change graphics for lower-end devices.”
    • “Even for an able-bodied person, it gets tiring holding ctrl to crouch when so much of the game requires it.”

  • music

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The music contributes effectively to the game's spooky and atmospheric ambiance, with dynamic changes that enhance tension during chase sequences. However, some users find the music volume too loud at times, and there are occasional technical issues like lag during certain sections. Overall, the soundtrack is praised for its immersive and eerie qualities.

    • “There is an ambient and chase soundtrack.”
    • “The music changes slightly the closer to danger you are.”
    • “You can even make the chase music differ enough depending on what's chasing you.”
    • “It lags so much, especially during the maze section; and the music is a bit on the loud side.”
    • “More ambient soundtracks needed.”
    • “Add more levels to the soundtrack.”

  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is subtle and not used to undercut its horror atmosphere, maintaining a serious and unsettling tone. However, some users find certain visual elements and character animations unintentionally funny, adding moments of levity to the experience.

    • “It never undercuts its horror with humor, instead fully committing to its unsettling world and trusting players to engage with it seriously.”
    • “The hair on screen is funny, the standing up to shoot is funny.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding aspect is criticized for inconsistent enemy mechanics, frustrating camera issues during crate-pushing puzzles, and tedious maze sections that rely heavily on trial and error. This shift from stealth to repetitive, unfair gameplay feels jarring and unnecessarily frustrating.

    • “The crates that you have to push to get the shotgun consistently break the camera, the maze section is extremely tedious (and borderline unfair).”
    • “Before this section, the game was mostly stealth oriented, so it was a hard shift when it became a game of complete trial and error; very tedious.”
    • “Enemy mechanics are very inconsistent (and poorly explained).”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game’s stability is poor, with frequent glitches that disrupt gameplay and make the already challenging experience feel even more frustrating.

    • “Everything feels like it's on nightmare mode to play non stop, and the glitches only make it worse.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's replayability is seen as limited by some players due to its brevity and lack of depth, though others find it acceptable considering the low price and focused design.

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The character development is appreciated in terms of concept and design, but gameplay issues like enemy clipping disrupt the experience and hinder meaningful engagement with characters. Overall, technical problems overshadow the intended character progression.
