Our take on PONE
Rather than centering on isolated survival, PONE makes group coordination part of its premise. Its task structure also replaces a static campaign progression with assignments that grow more challenging as players complete them and spend their earnings on goods.
What is PONE?
PONE is a cooperative survival horror game set in an upside-down world affected by a widespread infection.
Players join a government operation supporting the remains of pony-kind, then venture into the infected landscape to complete tasks and return safely. Each completed task provides money that can be spent on goods. As more tasks are completed, the challenges become harder. The game supports working with friends, with players encouraged to stay together while exploring dangerous areas and watching for threats. Its structure combines task-based expeditions, escalating difficulty, survival-focused play, and an in-game earning-and-spending loop.
