Fun fact! The other game from this developer is squirrel stapler, where god is a squirrel. The note saying squirrels want to stop the production is a way of god himself stepping in the way of hell
I’m not the first to notice this, (I found a play-through of this a good several months ago, and someone there mentioned this. Haven’t seen anyone here bringing it up) but there is a really cool effect to notice with the visuals. Namely the colors. When you start off with no blood split, the world is these harsh whites, blacks, and greys. Steadily as you shoot more ponies and spill more blood, the more colors start to appear. Red blood, orange and yellow windows, blue lights. A nice potential nod to the MLP’s Rainbow Factory. Anyways, figured share this here if anyone else wanted to dig deeper.
That line... "Attaching additional weapons systems opens up bolt gun operators to the world of special operations...", that's straight out of the handbook for the USFA Zip 22, possibly the worst firearm ever made. I just wanna give some appreciation for that niche as heck reference.
I love the Squirrels implying that Squirrels = God and Hell = Ponies. Interesting lore connections to be had there for Squirrel Stapler and vice versa.
And a nod to Pony Island. And the general theological joke that Lucifer would love ponies because they lack the pretense to be in the image of God, and thus wouldn't provoke his rebellious urges, and obey fate
5:35 For those who don’t know what flaying is, imagine you have a potato, and you want to cook and eat the potato, but the way you want to cook it requires the skin of the potato to be removed, so you have to peel the potato first, but you also want to keep the skin intact so you can use it for something later. Okay, now imagine you’re the potato.
I don’t know why but it’s really funny to me that Mark can’t pronounce the name of the developer, with whom he’s probably had extensive contact during the production of the movie based on their game😂
Average english speaking person will NOT pronounce Polish words, trust me on that one of our most common tounge twisters is chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzeszynie i Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie
Them wanting to keep the sin levels down while also being owned by Hell itself is probably an attempt to keep everything hidden from God. "Alright guys, be on your absolute best behavior, if God figures out what we're doing here he's gonna be PISSED"
I also love the very unsubtle commentary on how factories pollute the environment with excess waste. All that excess sin has to go somewhere, right? Just dump it into the water supply. What’s the worst that could happen?
That sounds like a comedy episode in a show about hell if it was a full scale company. And god was the EPA at their peak. Sounds hilarious if done right.
They wanted to keep the sin levels down because the whole game is that Satan tricks the guy into building the ponies. The guy wants to build the ponies to reduce sin, while satan gets his sinful army of ponies.
I want to start a band call "Electrical Skin-Peeling Whimsy". It will only feature avant garde, free-form jazz with a constant background of agonized screaming.
just a moment to appreciate the idea of a "precarious death pit" in case the workers wanted to kill themselves due to the horrors of sin, and a bigger moment to appreciate the fact that mark didn't just randomly decided to jump into it the moment he saw it
I think this was a joke but for those who don't know of it- I'm pretty sure it's based off of the pony infection trend going around the last few months :)
Now I want this to become a full-length game with BioShock-like gameplay. They really could do a lot with this nonsensical parody of the horror genre. It has charm to it.
The fact that Winston thought that asking HELL to help him in making KIND and PURE magical ponies is a perfectly fine idea is the top hilarity of this game I bet he just sat at his room, giggling to himself while making all the bad management decisions without checking if they really work until the ponies broke in and "HOW COULD HEL BETRAY US LIKE THAT? NO NO AAAAAASSSSSdfgghj
Think about it, all they had to tell him was “Look man, we’re not actually the bad guys, we’re just like garbage men but for sin. You give us the sin, we make your ponies. Win win.” It’s like when people think Biblical hell is an eternal party for bad boys or that you’ll at least be reunited with your family there, when it’s described as the place of ultimate loneliness and despair.
Davids ability to really convey depravity or despair, while also using a comedic or semi-comedic tone is really impressive. Most horror games struggle to straddle the lines between silly and scary, but I feel both Yames and David do really well in playing their games completely straight, but still self aware, putting the awkward comedic realisations on the player. The moment from iron lung when you realise there are multiple moons and you are there for kinda no reason (which can evoke a nervous giggle, its dryly comedic in a sad way) or the moment in discover my body when the guy grows his mothers face on his leg come to mind. They're both horriffic moments, but its clear the devs understand the comedic undertones they will carry, and give them time to breathe like any ordinary joke, which in turn allows horror to seep back in naturally as the player thinks about their situation.
36:27 "The man smiled as he walked through the abandoned parking lot, away from the pony factory. He'd found and stolen the source of the pony magic and escaped with his life. He'd done what others thought impossible. And now he would succeed where his father failed, with the power of hell at his fingertips, he would create his own pony army. Far larger and greater. All he needed were victims to transform and a factory in which to do it. Hell had planned all this and it smiled too, in anticipation of what was to come."
This is the greatest parody of the standard horror game genre I’ve ever seen. Well-meaning entrepreneur engages with powers he doesn’t understand in order to achieve a stupid goal that doesn’t really seem worth it, avoids all warning signs while continuously writing down convenient exposition on sheets of paper scattered conveniently around the disaster sight, only for the entirely foreseeable consequences of his actions to ultimately kill him. Then the protagonist shows up and obtains a completely original object that definitely is not a weapon but just so happens to function identically to a weapon that already exists and is entirely unusable for its supposed intended purpose. It really highlights the absurdity of the standard horror games that we accept for whatever the hell reason.
"Winston thought they could be beautiful, gentle, and good. Hell had other plans..." Are one of those plans creating the rainbow using a machine that grinds up live ponies like a certain grimdark I read a few years ago?
The lighting and shading is perfect, and it's clear the game' design was always about lighting and flickering- the light of gunfire and enemy attacks, a slow swap between flashlight and gun, and of course, the fact the enemies move at like, 5 fps movement so they can seemingly teleport in the dark for effective and natural jumpscares. The addition of color in the second half works as it feels "wrong" after so long in the black and white, and also because the player knows enemies are jumping out at them, and the sheer number of them in a dark room would be annoying. I'm liking the Dev's approach to "stupid horror" where it's not that there's an eldritch force compelling people to do bad, but rather one person is so utterly deranged AND stupid it allows for hell on earth. Squirrel Stapler is literally one crazy guy doing something so stupid the Squirrel God shows up to take him out ,and this is a CEO Brony so cooked he can't even put 4+1 together, and his son is a chip off the block. I really like it because of how horror always lately has this genius mastermind setup - where the bad guy has no staff, no living servants, and yet his cunning plan and master manipulations bring about hell on earth, and the player is helplessly walking in his machinations, doomed to a deathtrap at the end in spite of their skill. Andrew Ryan masterfully rules Rapture, Drew Dyin' just wanted to have a utopia at the bottom of the ocean, but feels a bit dry and wants to open up the top for some "fresh water" and figures it'll all just drain out the bottom.
You know, at first I thought this was going to be a game where you, in fact, run the Pony Factory and build the horrifying magical ponies out of sinners and horse parts. And I'm kinda disappointed that it isn't a game like that.
i feel like that would make a delightful sequel/prequel (perhaps with the origins of coming up with some of the concoctions in-game, like the liquid lightning)
Same here, and actually it would have been so much more horrific if we'd have got to see how those things happened, need me more lore, more details lol
12:29 Was that a Squirrel Stapler reference? Given that the "God" there is a giant floating mutant squirrel head and everything, and both were made by David Szymanski?
22:30 If I ever make a horror game, it’s going to take place underwater and the main threat will be dolls/mannequins. Just to fuck with Mr. President over here.
17:50 The insult comes from comparing the women to the dog. Literature historians have theorizes it comes from female dogs in heat to dehumanize and embrass the woman. During that time, people believed dogs in heat were too needy, too barky/whiney, and too "adulterous." No, I'm not joking about the last one. 😂

The game being scary wasnt ever a problem for me, it was always the super loud kind of jumpscares and just big noises in general, so these kinds of lists always helped me prepare my eardrums. Ok ty bye
the genius use of hard light made this so fucking terrifying, not to mention how slow the switch between the flashlight and the gun feels. depending on where you are, those few seconds staring into the abyssal darkness are agonizingly long. just watching mark play made me want to look over my shoulder and double take at everything.
Ya know... It makes me quite happy that at least half (if not most) of the comment section and ppl that watched this also thought it was a game about "Rainbow Factory". Which was a horror song based off of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. There's been a whole plot point surrounding it in the MLP fandom. Along with creepypastas. I think it recently dwindled in popularity, but we've also had an MLP infection phase. That phase was also reminiscent of Rainbow Factory. And now, for me at least, this game has been added to the fandom history of MLP.
If you were young and your parents didn't monitor your Internet activity like they should've been doing, then yes. But this game would've fit right in with us older fans. I'm not into gore, so Smile HD wasn't my thing, but I respected the effort put into it. Again, though, we can't blame adults for posting content made for adults on the internet. The internet isn't for children. Period. Yes, there are safe sites for them to go to, but parents need to be responsible for ensuring that. Like getting their child a kid friendly tablet or phone. Ones that have extremely strict parental controls. Regular UA-cam is for ages 13+, even before UA-cam Kids was created. Children shouldn't be allowed to make accounts. Full stop. Again, the internet is NOT for little kids. It never was, nor will ever be. Responsible parents should know this. It's why child friendly devices exist. If your parents let you have an account on here back then, blame your parents, not creators. Before restrictions were put in place, creators often put warnings before their videos if the content was meant for an older audience. This protects the creator and watchers. It's not the creator's fault if it goes unheeded. TL;DR: children shouldn't be on the internet. Period. It's not safe and every adult should know that when they take on the responsibility of parenthood. Get kids a child friendly device and don't allow them to use anything else until they reach 13+. Blame parents, not creators.
the theremin goin in the background is so lovely to hear. I know thats weird to hear cuz its a weird instrument to want to be lulled to sleep with.... but i love it
2:16 Sylvester Graham was the same way. He believed that the creation of something that tasted something like sawdust would cure self pleasure but now all anyone wants to do is grab S'more.
2:15 to build off of that, there were actually two Kellogg brothers, one who did what Mark says he did and the other was the one who came up with the cereal. It's actually funny to research about because there was a lot of conflicts between the brothers over corn flakes
The cereal that I can best describe as something between "The general tang of adulthood" and "slightly sweeter cardboard chunks, if only because the milk was grass fed" had its' founders arguing. I can only hope it was over logistics.
@@SCh1m3ra I agree with the descriptions of the cereal, and you're actually close about why they faught each other in many legal battles, you see, the brother who made the cereal was told that if he started adding sugar to the recipe, he and his brother would be rich, but his brother thought sugar was as impure as self-pleasure and rejected the idea completely, even insulting the guy for making foolish decisions. The guy disowned his brother and started selling the cereal with sugar and he made bank. the older brother(the one who said he was being stupid about selling the cereal) was jealous and furious that the Kellogg name was for the guy's invention and not his ideals, so he wanted to take the credit. The argument(the had several court cases and lasted until the brother's death) was about them both wanting to be known as the sole creator of corn flakes with only one of them truly deserving of the title. Honestly, if you don't want to research it(which is understandable completely, I only like to do research because I'm a nerd, lol) I highly recommend you see the Drunk History episode about it, it's silly but it's accurate.
One of those conflicts was over which one was responsible for the cereal. Mr Abstinence had the patent. The other brother wanted to add sugar but the religious one thought that defeated the purpose (healthy and boring). So Mr Sugar started his own company. There’s no definite answer one who came up with the cereal.
@@KimJongUnnie while Mr. Abstinence had the name "Kellogg" patented, the cereal itself was made by Mr. Sugar(thank you for coming up with names to differentiate the two, I think they're hilarious and accurate) because he was in charge of making something(it was some kind of wheat thing that needed dough and wasn't quite bread but I can't remember) and he made a mistake and left the dough out, which dried and caused the little flake we know today. Mr. Abstinence like it and thought it could be used as an alternative to sugary(and what he considered impure) foods. But when Mr. Sugar was told that they both could make bank on it if they add sugar, he wanted to go for it, only when he was insulted and denied he made his own company. There isn't any definitive proof of who owned the patent of the name because they had both owned it before Mr. Sugar went his own path, and he still used it when he was running his own company, that's why Mr. Abstinence tried to steal the credit, he thought he was entitled to the money Mr. Sugar was making because his name was on it(literally).
To the ones who missed the message at the end of the game it said The man smiled as he walked through the abandoned parking lot away from the pony factory. He’d found and stolen the source of the Pony Magic and escaped with his life. He’d done what others thought impossible… Now he would succeed where his father had failed. With the power of HELL at his fingertips. He would create his own Pony Army far larger and greater. All he needed was victims to transform and a factory in which to do it… Hell had planned all this and it smiled to in anticipation in what was to come… PRESS ANY KEY
"hmm this town is starting to lose their morals, who might possibly know how to bring back good morals? Oh I know hell the place famously full of people with good morals"
This is a great example of how you can still make a horror game where the player can fight back. So many people think you need to have the enemy be an unkillable beast in order for it to be horror.
I never really liked games much where the horror is unkillable. It feels like a cop out most of the time. Especially since usually there's like 80 thousand weapons littering the environment
@@acamera367 Same here. Especially the multiplayer ones. "Group of 4 bumble around trying to do a thing while a scary critter lurks about" is such a streamer bait genre these days. Of course there's some notable exceptions.
@@Isiel42 It happens because the scary part is more funny than horrifying, only with some snippets of jumpscares. Knowing that you can only beat something through fighting puts that whole expectation over you, so you end up more nervous and scared to fail. You can't just sit there and die until you learn how to avoid them and not be scared anymore. Today they do more the Outlast recipe, which isn't bad but needs way more work to be as scary.
This game developer has a knack for dystopian futures. The game was interesting enough, but the best part was the sign/memo regarding religious icons. Too funny.
omg David made a silly Doom 3. The harsh black shadows, logs from dumb corpos surprised when exploiting hell backfired, demons with dodgeable projectile attacks, even the crappy flashlight you can't hold at the same time as your weapon. I love it! And the writing is hilarious
Only the maker of Iron Lung could make a horror game that's absurd in many ways but still looks a lot of fun to play while also using different mechanics to keep the experience fresh. Unlike the many ponies Mark had to kill, that are the absolute opposite of fresh.
Holy shit, I think this is inspired or based on Rainbow Factory, especially because of this one coincidence: At 5:54 we see the note mentions liquid lightning, and in Pegasus Device, Scootaloo/Absentia opens a valve of liquid thunder as she kills herself in front of Factory Dash by getting electrocuted by said liquid thunder/lightning in the pipe
In a game where ammo is at a premium at the best of times, there goes Markiplier, just peeing it away down random empty halls. The number of times Mark makes it through a game on sheer luck is actually impressive. Finding ammo the moment he needs it, and somehow ending up having exactly as much as he needs in the moment. Also, this game was definitely inspired partly by Doom 3 for making it so that the flashlight and weapon can't be wielded alongside each other. Then again, why would anyone want something as silly and useless as *ILLUMINATION* in large, nearly empty, and *PITCH BLACK* rooms, especially when there are *FAST MOVING ENEMIES* who *TAKE OFF LARGE CHUNKS OF YOUR HEALTH WITH EACH HIT?* Seriously, seems like the first hit always shaves off literally half your health, and the follow ups take anywhere from five to twenty per hit. As long as your health is above half, enemies just do fifty for the first hit, and then *maybe* they'll do a small scratch, or maybe they'll put you right on death's door.
@@LoserHandssame in doom 3. I recently played it and walking in the dark not knowing if a demon will jump scare you almost kill you and cost you a mag of rare ammo could occur is horrifying and it is the first thing I thought of when seeing this game.
"A weapon of war designed by Fredrique Flint-Stone" I know this whole game is a joke, but that part really got me, the idea of Fred Flintstone designing weapons for Hell itself is really funny to me.
Just to confirm how even crazier than Mark makes him sound Kellog was, the majority of Men today are circumcized, but female circumcision is not practiced in the US legally. This is not because Kellog didn't recommend it, it's because his suggested method was to burn off the clitoris using carbolic acid.
To make it worse, the clitoris isn't just a little nub you can just 'burn off.' What you see externally is just the tip of a 3-4 inch long, extremely sensitive internal organ, the back of which is actually the 'g-spot.' The carbolic acid method, if popularized, would've led to a lot of pain during the procedure and tons of infections afterwards, and it wouldn't even be all that effective. It'd be a lot like burning off the tip of one's tongue.
Iirc some African countries do or have done female castration? Also, circ being done in the US happens on a much bigger basis than in Europe - that's why we laugh and sigh at Americans as if they're the only ones who do it (and bc they talk about it a lot). I've heard that hospitals in the US have defaulted to circumcision. Wtf, right? I know a lot of Americans are Jewish but jeez. Reminds me of this joke in Brooklyn nine nine or something, where the nurse tell the parents they're good circ their son no matter what they say. I've also read stories on reddit, but ofc I'm not American so idk - it's definitely prevalent tho, albeit not happening in every state. What's sad is ppl brain washing so many to think circ is cleaner etc.
Lemme get this straight: Winston… reached out to HELL… and was surprised when things went wrong… I’m sorry, we sure HE wasn’t one of those ignorant folks he complains about? Edit: 3:26 YOOOO WARHAMMER 40K REFERENCE
I think "son of a nag" would be one of the better bets for horse-based insults. Also, I love the theremin in this game's music-made me giggle almost as much as the weird lore notes.
"The man smiled as he walked through the abandoned parking lot away from The Pony Factory. He’d found and stolen the source of the Pony Magic; and escaped with his life.

@@suspicioussand yeah well I had paused the video and posted the comment before mark had managed to get back to the text. And then I was like "oh I guess I didn’t have to do that." But I’m honestly just gonna leave it. Because it doesn’t really matter either way.
if i had a nickel for every time i saw a game where ponies had a weird connection with hell, i'd have two nickels. which isnt a lot but its weird that it'd happen twice!
I love the implications of the squirrel note. Maybe its just a fun nod to squirrel stapler but if these retro style games by David Szymanski are all in the same universe, then its hilarious that the animal that takes the role of God's direct contact with the earth is squirrels. Either that or the squirrels are just inately religious
I think it’s also a reference to Norse mythology. There’s a squirrel (with a name I can’t spell) that runs up and down the “World Tree” (with another name I can’t spell) basically able to travel to all the Nine Realms.
@@manicpixiefangirl4189 and the squirrel's name is "Ratatoskr" (an English speaker may wonder why such a name would be given to a squirrel and not a rat until they recall the subtle fact that Norse is not, in fact, English)
Fun fact: The note at 21:15 is a reference to the manual for a gun called the Zip 22. It's an infamously unreliable and poorly-designed gun that's a bit of a meme among firearms nerds, and the bit the game is referencing is an attempt to sell it to the military with the pitch "What if you attached a smaller, less reliable, less powerful, less accurate gun to your normal gun?" Needless to say, the gun didn't sell very well.
Okay you already had me at the title of this game, but as soon as you read that intro with both Hell and magical ponies in the same subject for this story, I was immediately sold.
The way the gun’s rate of fire increases while holding down the trigger reminds me of the Geth Spitfire heavy weapon from Mass Effect 3. Definitely one of the coolest weapons of any franchise I’ve seen.

Them wanting to keep the sin levels down while also being owned by Hell itself is probably an attempt to keep everything hidden from God. "Alright guys, be on your absolute best behavior, if God figures out what we're doing here he's gonna be PISSED"
I also love the very unsubtle commentary on how factories pollute the environment with excess waste. All that excess sin has to go somewhere, right? Just dump it into the water supply. What’s the worst that could happen?
That sounds like a comedy episode in a show about hell if it was a full scale company. And god was the EPA at their peak. Sounds hilarious if done right.
They wanted to keep the sin levels down because the whole game is that Satan tricks the guy into building the ponies. The guy wants to build the ponies to reduce sin, while satan gets his sinful army of ponies.
I read that quotation in Blitzo's voice from Helluva Boss. Totally sounds like something he'd say, not gonna lie.
@@KGfan4ever Yep! Blitz would want to do that. Only make way more cuter ponies then… these horrifying things.

just a moment to appreciate the idea of a "precarious death pit" in case the workers wanted to kill themselves due to the horrors of sin, and a bigger moment to appreciate the fact that mark didn't just randomly decided to jump into it the moment he saw it
Just like the people serving Delphine Lalaurie preferred to defenestrate instead of staying with her.
is this whole game an extreme version of that one joke about a little girl writing a letter to satan instead of santa asking for a pony?
Now that I've seen your comment I kinda hope it is
I forgot about that. I would love for that to be the inspiration behind this game, that would be hilarious!
Lmao, would be perfect.
That lowkey kinda makes sense
I think this was a joke but for those who don't know of it- I'm pretty sure it's based off of the pony infection trend going around the last few months :)
The part where Mark picked up the flashlight and he turned around to just see the pony standing there had me in tears

Loving the mix of "2015 rainbow factory creepypasta" and "1950s B horror movie". Surprisingly unique
I think it’s the theremin pulling everything together.
Now I want this to become a full-length game with BioShock-like gameplay. They really could do a lot with this nonsensical parody of the horror genre. It has charm to it.
I loved rainbow factory so much that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the video
glad we weren't the only ones who thought of rainbow factory lmao
The fact that Winston thought that asking HELL to help him in making KIND and PURE magical ponies is a perfectly fine idea is the top hilarity of this game
I bet he just sat at his room, giggling to himself while making all the bad management decisions without checking if they really work until the ponies broke in
and "HOW COULD HEL BETRAY US LIKE THAT?
NO NO AAAAAASSSSSdfgghj
why don't ask heaven? it really helps huwheuheie xD
Think about it, all they had to tell him was “Look man, we’re not actually the bad guys, we’re just like garbage men but for sin. You give us the sin, we make your ponies. Win win.” It’s like when people think Biblical hell is an eternal party for bad boys or that you’ll at least be reunited with your family there, when it’s described as the place of ultimate loneliness and despair.

@@shcdemolishershockingly deep considering the tone of the game
Davids ability to really convey depravity or despair, while also using a comedic or semi-comedic tone is really impressive. Most horror games struggle to straddle the lines between silly and scary, but I feel both Yames and David do really well in playing their games completely straight, but still self aware, putting the awkward comedic realisations on the player. The moment from iron lung when you realise there are multiple moons and you are there for kinda no reason (which can evoke a nervous giggle, its dryly comedic in a sad way) or the moment in discover my body when the guy grows his mothers face on his leg come to mind. They're both horriffic moments, but its clear the devs understand the comedic undertones they will carry, and give them time to breathe like any ordinary joke, which in turn allows horror to seep back in naturally as the player thinks about their situation.
N h😢😮
Nah Yames games are just outright terrifying
i love this comment
I personally don't find Yames funny at all, just very disturbing and terrifying.
It's so risky to make humour in horror, any slip and its throw the humour and horror out the window. So it's really cool.

"The man smiled as he walked through the abandoned parking lot, away from the pony factory. He'd found and stolen the source of the pony magic and escaped with his life. He'd done what others thought impossible.
And now he would succeed where his father failed, with the power of hell at his fingertips, he would create his own pony army. Far larger and greater. All he needed were victims to transform and a factory in which to do it.
Hell had planned all this and it smiled too, in anticipation of what was to come."

This is the greatest parody of the standard horror game genre I’ve ever seen.
Well-meaning entrepreneur engages with powers he doesn’t understand in order to achieve a stupid goal that doesn’t really seem worth it, avoids all warning signs while continuously writing down convenient exposition on sheets of paper scattered conveniently around the disaster sight, only for the entirely foreseeable consequences of his actions to ultimately kill him. Then the protagonist shows up and obtains a completely original object that definitely is not a weapon but just so happens to function identically to a weapon that already exists and is entirely unusable for its supposed intended purpose.
It really highlights the absurdity of the standard horror games that we accept for whatever the hell reason.
And the flashlight that only lights up a small distance In front of you
don't forget the notes also managing to be in perfect chronological order from the place the player character enters
And also the music being alien like. Being in the "scary" genre but not quite
Please tell me "whatever the hell reason" was an intentional pun.
The first bit reminds me of Amnesia
"Winston thought they could be beautiful, gentle, and good. Hell had other plans..." Are one of those plans creating the rainbow using a machine that grinds up live ponies like a certain grimdark I read a few years ago?

The lighting and shading is perfect, and it's clear the game' design was always about lighting and flickering- the light of gunfire and enemy attacks, a slow swap between flashlight and gun, and of course, the fact the enemies move at like, 5 fps movement so they can seemingly teleport in the dark for effective and natural jumpscares. The addition of color in the second half works as it feels "wrong" after so long in the black and white, and also because the player knows enemies are jumping out at them, and the sheer number of them in a dark room would be annoying.
I'm liking the Dev's approach to "stupid horror" where it's not that there's an eldritch force compelling people to do bad, but rather one person is so utterly deranged AND stupid it allows for hell on earth. Squirrel Stapler is literally one crazy guy doing something so stupid the Squirrel God shows up to take him out ,and this is a CEO Brony so cooked he can't even put 4+1 together, and his son is a chip off the block.
I really like it because of how horror always lately has this genius mastermind setup - where the bad guy has no staff, no living servants, and yet his cunning plan and master manipulations bring about hell on earth, and the player is helplessly walking in his machinations, doomed to a deathtrap at the end in spite of their skill. Andrew Ryan masterfully rules Rapture, Drew Dyin' just wanted to have a utopia at the bottom of the ocean, but feels a bit dry and wants to open up the top for some "fresh water" and figures it'll all just drain out the bottom.
The insult you are looking for Mark, is "son of a mare."

You know, at first I thought this was going to be a game where you, in fact, run the Pony Factory and build the horrifying magical ponies out of sinners and horse parts.
And I'm kinda disappointed that it isn't a game like that.
Same, loved the actual game but there could be a lil segment with building a pony
i feel like that would make a delightful sequel/prequel (perhaps with the origins of coming up with some of the concoctions in-game, like the liquid lightning)

the genius use of hard light made this so fucking terrifying, not to mention how slow the switch between the flashlight and the gun feels. depending on where you are, those few seconds staring into the abyssal darkness are agonizingly long. just watching mark play made me want to look over my shoulder and double take at everything.
Ya know... It makes me quite happy that at least half (if not most) of the comment section and ppl that watched this also thought it was a game about "Rainbow Factory". Which was a horror song based off of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. There's been a whole plot point surrounding it in the MLP fandom. Along with creepypastas. I think it recently dwindled in popularity, but we've also had an MLP infection phase. That phase was also reminiscent of Rainbow Factory. And now, for me at least, this game has been added to the fandom history of MLP.
The song is based on the original rainbow factory fanfic! (Edit for typo)
pretty sure the rainbow factory fanfic came first, then the song, that's when it really blew up

If this came out in 2011-2015, many young MLP fans and bronies alike would be scarred for life 😭
Now they scar us....
If you were young and your parents didn't monitor your Internet activity like they should've been doing, then yes. But this game would've fit right in with us older fans. I'm not into gore, so Smile HD wasn't my thing, but I respected the effort put into it.
Again, though, we can't blame adults for posting content made for adults on the internet. The internet isn't for children. Period. Yes, there are safe sites for them to go to, but parents need to be responsible for ensuring that. Like getting their child a kid friendly tablet or phone. Ones that have extremely strict parental controls. Regular UA-cam is for ages 13+, even before UA-cam Kids was created. Children shouldn't be allowed to make accounts. Full stop.
Again, the internet is NOT for little kids. It never was, nor will ever be. Responsible parents should know this. It's why child friendly devices exist. If your parents let you have an account on here back then, blame your parents, not creators. Before restrictions were put in place, creators often put warnings before their videos if the content was meant for an older audience. This protects the creator and watchers. It's not the creator's fault if it goes unheeded.
TL;DR: children shouldn't be on the internet. Period. It's not safe and every adult should know that when they take on the responsibility of parenthood. Get kids a child friendly device and don't allow them to use anything else until they reach 13+. Blame parents, not creators.

2:15 to build off of that, there were actually two Kellogg brothers, one who did what Mark says he did and the other was the one who came up with the cereal. It's actually funny to research about because there was a lot of conflicts between the brothers over corn flakes
The cereal that I can best describe as something between "The general tang of adulthood" and "slightly sweeter cardboard chunks, if only because the milk was grass fed" had its' founders arguing.
I can only hope it was over logistics.
@@SCh1m3ra I agree with the descriptions of the cereal, and you're actually close about why they faught each other in many legal battles, you see, the brother who made the cereal was told that if he started adding sugar to the recipe, he and his brother would be rich, but his brother thought sugar was as impure as self-pleasure and rejected the idea completely, even insulting the guy for making foolish decisions. The guy disowned his brother and started selling the cereal with sugar and he made bank. the older brother(the one who said he was being stupid about selling the cereal) was jealous and furious that the Kellogg name was for the guy's invention and not his ideals, so he wanted to take the credit. The argument(the had several court cases and lasted until the brother's death) was about them both wanting to be known as the sole creator of corn flakes with only one of them truly deserving of the title. Honestly, if you don't want to research it(which is understandable completely, I only like to do research because I'm a nerd, lol) I highly recommend you see the Drunk History episode about it, it's silly but it's accurate.
One of those conflicts was over which one was responsible for the cereal. Mr Abstinence had the patent. The other brother wanted to add sugar but the religious one thought that defeated the purpose (healthy and boring). So Mr Sugar started his own company. There’s no definite answer one who came up with the cereal.
@@katherinetressler1508
Sounds like it is roughly my speed, I'll definitely add them to the log.
@@KimJongUnnie while Mr. Abstinence had the name "Kellogg" patented, the cereal itself was made by Mr. Sugar(thank you for coming up with names to differentiate the two, I think they're hilarious and accurate) because he was in charge of making something(it was some kind of wheat thing that needed dough and wasn't quite bread but I can't remember) and he made a mistake and left the dough out, which dried and caused the little flake we know today. Mr. Abstinence like it and thought it could be used as an alternative to sugary(and what he considered impure) foods. But when Mr. Sugar was told that they both could make bank on it if they add sugar, he wanted to go for it, only when he was insulted and denied he made his own company. There isn't any definitive proof of who owned the patent of the name because they had both owned it before Mr. Sugar went his own path, and he still used it when he was running his own company, that's why Mr. Abstinence tried to steal the credit, he thought he was entitled to the money Mr. Sugar was making because his name was on it(literally).
Mark: Complains about running out of ammo
Also Mark: Keeps shooting down hallways without seeing enemies
To the ones who missed the message at the end of the game it said

"hmm this town is starting to lose their morals, who might possibly know how to bring back good morals? Oh I know hell the place famously full of people with good morals"
This is a great example of how you can still make a horror game where the player can fight back. So many people think you need to have the enemy be an unkillable beast in order for it to be horror.
To be fair, the fact that the enemies are unlikable does add a extra layer to the whole horror part.
I never really liked games much where the horror is unkillable. It feels like a cop out most of the time. Especially since usually there's like 80 thousand weapons littering the environment
@@acamera367 Same here. Especially the multiplayer ones. "Group of 4 bumble around trying to do a thing while a scary critter lurks about" is such a streamer bait genre these days. Of course there's some notable exceptions.
@@Isiel42 It happens because the scary part is more funny than horrifying, only with some snippets of jumpscares.
Knowing that you can only beat something through fighting puts that whole expectation over you, so you end up more nervous and scared to fail. You can't just sit there and die until you learn how to avoid them and not be scared anymore.
Today they do more the Outlast recipe, which isn't bad but needs way more work to be as scary.
This game developer has a knack for dystopian futures.
The game was interesting enough, but the best part was the sign/memo regarding religious icons. Too funny.
Man, whoever did the music for this game just went HAM with the theremin
omg David made a silly Doom 3. The harsh black shadows, logs from dumb corpos surprised when exploiting hell backfired, demons with dodgeable projectile attacks, even the crappy flashlight you can't hold at the same time as your weapon. I love it! And the writing is hilarious
Only the maker of Iron Lung could make a horror game that's absurd in many ways but still looks a lot of fun to play while also using different mechanics to keep the experience fresh. Unlike the many ponies Mark had to kill, that are the absolute opposite of fresh.

oh dear celestia you may be right
In a game where ammo is at a premium at the best of times, there goes Markiplier, just peeing it away down random empty halls.
The number of times Mark makes it through a game on sheer luck is actually impressive. Finding ammo the moment he needs it, and somehow ending up having exactly as much as he needs in the moment.
Also, this game was definitely inspired partly by Doom 3 for making it so that the flashlight and weapon can't be wielded alongside each other. Then again, why would anyone want something as silly and useless as *ILLUMINATION* in large, nearly empty, and *PITCH BLACK* rooms, especially when there are *FAST MOVING ENEMIES* who *TAKE OFF LARGE CHUNKS OF YOUR HEALTH WITH EACH HIT?* Seriously, seems like the first hit always shaves off literally half your health, and the follow ups take anywhere from five to twenty per hit. As long as your health is above half, enemies just do fifty for the first hit, and then *maybe* they'll do a small scratch, or maybe they'll put you right on death's door.
Ammo is like, Hundreds of bullets : 1 pony though
@@LoserHandssame in doom 3. I recently played it and walking in the dark not knowing if a demon will jump scare you almost kill you and cost you a mag of rare ammo could occur is horrifying and it is the first thing I thought of when seeing this game.

Just to confirm how even crazier than Mark makes him sound Kellog was, the majority of Men today are circumcized, but female circumcision is not practiced in the US legally. This is not because Kellog didn't recommend it, it's because his suggested method was to burn off the clitoris using carbolic acid.
Good god, I knew about Kellog but not BURNING OFF AN ENTIRE ORGAN my god
To make it worse, the clitoris isn't just a little nub you can just 'burn off.' What you see externally is just the tip of a 3-4 inch long, extremely sensitive internal organ, the back of which is actually the 'g-spot.' The carbolic acid method, if popularized, would've led to a lot of pain during the procedure and tons of infections afterwards, and it wouldn't even be all that effective. It'd be a lot like burning off the tip of one's tongue.
The majority of American men. most men of the world are indeed not circumcised.
@@redflame300 I was looking for this. People like to act like America is the only place in the world
Iirc some African countries do or have done female castration?
Also, circ being done in the US happens on a much bigger basis than in Europe - that's why we laugh and sigh at Americans as if they're the only ones who do it (and bc they talk about it a lot).
I've heard that hospitals in the US have defaulted to circumcision. Wtf, right? I know a lot of Americans are Jewish but jeez.
Reminds me of this joke in Brooklyn nine nine or something, where the nurse tell the parents they're good circ their son no matter what they say.
I've also read stories on reddit, but ofc I'm not American so idk - it's definitely prevalent tho, albeit not happening in every state.
What's sad is ppl brain washing so many to think circ is cleaner etc.

Hey, its me Winston and I'd just like to say it's not my fault, It rly looked whimsical ):
Doom reference
Suddenly mark gets inserted into a bunch of mlp infection au’s bc he makes a vid involving ponies. Tbh, best timeline.
I LOVE MLP CREEPYPASTAS SM THE COUGH IS OG 1# THO AOSBDHDBDDN
Well damn, to AO3 I go after this video
Bold of you to think he wasn't already there, tbh.
I don't know how to feel about this I like them but I don't know if mark deserves that lol
I thought that existed years ago with that one video
"Okay, weirdly-empty big room...!"
I need to enter more rooms like that.
Would it be hard to believe if I said I was in one right now?
8:19 "Press right mouse button to swap between the bol-" _Come as You Are intro_
Seeing pony and factory in the same title gave me so many flashbacks to a certain music video from 2012
I think "son of a nag" would be one of the better bets for horse-based insults. Also, I love the theremin in this game's music-made me giggle almost as much as the weird lore notes.
"The man smiled as he walked through the abandoned parking lot away from The Pony Factory. He’d found and stolen the source of the Pony Magic; and escaped with his life. He’d done what others thought impossible. And now he would succeed where his father failed; with the Power of Hell at his fingertips. He would create his own Pony Army; far larger and greater. All he needed were victims to transform; and a factory in which to do it. Hell had planned all this. And it smiled too; in anticipation of what was to come."
Thank you for your insightful comment, repeating exactly what was said in the video 👍
Indeed
However hell wont be smiling
TCB is a place of pure pain
So it shall be burnt to ashes
@@suspicioussand 🤣
@@suspicioussand yeah well I had paused the video and posted the comment before mark had managed to get back to the text. And then I was like "oh I guess I didn’t have to do that." But I’m honestly just gonna leave it. Because it doesn’t really matter either way.
I love how the character wasnt going to save humanity with that, he was just more evil.
if i had a nickel for every time i saw a game where ponies had a weird connection with hell, i'd have two nickels. which isnt a lot but its weird that it'd happen twice!
If this was the Frist nickel what was the other one?
@@DakotaBritt-h2bPony island I think, mark has a video on it
@@DakotaBritt-h2b this is the second!!! the first is a game made by daniel mullins in around 2016 or so? called pony island :]
My granddaughter "Can I have a Pony?"
Me having flashbacks to this "Lets come back to that ok?"
I enjoy the silly and macabre writing in this game. The burst of color from the ponies is also a nice touch.
I love the implications of the squirrel note. Maybe its just a fun nod to squirrel stapler but if these retro style games by David Szymanski are all in the same universe, then its hilarious that the animal that takes the role of God's direct contact with the earth is squirrels. Either that or the squirrels are just inately religious
I think it’s also a reference to Norse mythology. There’s a squirrel (with a name I can’t spell) that runs up and down the “World Tree” (with another name I can’t spell) basically able to travel to all the Nine Realms.
@@manicpixiefangirl4189 oh! Interesting
@@manicpixiefangirl4189 it's Yggdrasil ☺(my mom is a Norse pagan)
@@manicpixiefangirl4189Its name is Ratatoskr
@@manicpixiefangirl4189 and the squirrel's name is "Ratatoskr" (an English speaker may wonder why such a name would be given to a squirrel and not a rat until they recall the subtle fact that Norse is not, in fact, English)
I hear the Pony Factory is where fears and horrors come true…and perhaps that not a single soul gets through
SOTP
Fun fact: The note at 21:15 is a reference to the manual for a gun called the Zip 22. It's an infamously unreliable and poorly-designed gun that's a bit of a meme among firearms nerds, and the bit the game is referencing is an attempt to sell it to the military with the pitch "What if you attached a smaller, less reliable, less powerful, less accurate gun to your normal gun?" Needless to say, the gun didn't sell very well.
Okay you already had me at the title of this game, but as soon as you read that intro with both Hell and magical ponies in the same subject for this story, I was immediately sold.
8:19 He's just standing there ... MENACINGLY!
17:27 i feel like markiplier is the only person who can talk about the origin of the word "bitch" while shooting ponies with an automatic rifle.
The way the gun’s rate of fire increases while holding down the trigger reminds me of the Geth Spitfire heavy weapon from Mass Effect 3. Definitely one of the coolest weapons of any franchise I’ve seen.
Mass Effect mentioned, wheeeeyyy!!
Also, the geth assault rifle in Mass Effect 1 had the same property.
36:27 The Man smiled as he walked through the abandoned parking lot away from the pony factory. He'd found and stolen the source of the pony magic, and escaped with his life. He'd done what others thought impossible.
And now, he would succeed where his father failed. With the power of hell at his fingertips, he would create his own pony army. Far larger and greater. All he needed were victims to transform. And a factory in which to do it.
Hell had planned all this. And it smiled too, in anticipation of what was to come...
the +RICOSHOT in my back pocket
Such a plot twist, I love it
I love the sound design of this game. I can’t explain it, but it creates such an eerie and playful atmosphere
14:26 anyone else catch the Unus Annus reference of when mark and ethan tried to seal the hole in the wall but got progressively 'high' off the fumes of the glue? cause mark saying "tHat gLUE..wOo!" just unlocked a memory
