Pony Island 2: Panda Circus ·

Daniel Mullins appears to have picked every genre.

The creator of Inscryption returns with a sequel we’re quite happy not to understand yet.

Why it caught our eye

The Gamescom trailer left us with more questions than answers, which feels about right for Daniel Mullins. If Inscryption or the original Pony Island worked for you, the uncertainty is probably part of the attraction.

Time, mythology, divinity and games all appear to be involved. We won’t pretend we can neatly explain the result. This is a recommendation to keep an eye on the creator’s next strange idea, and to leave a little room for surprise.
