This is a game I haven’t stopped thinking about since I first released Pony Island almost 8 years ago. Panda Circus has occupied a little corner in the back of my mind as I developed The Hex and Inscryption. It was exciting to look back on all the ideas I had for the game over those years and finally sit down to start working on it.
This is also making good on a promise that the original Pony Island ARG made. It wasn’t a joke.
If you want to be notified when the game comes out you can wishlist it here on Steam or join the mailing list.
Thanks for sticking with me all these years! I can’t wait for you to play it.
