Dear reader—and potentially, dear horse enthusiast—I want to clarify something. While I do like animals, I am nowhere near a 'horse person'. The only experience I've had with one of humanity's oldest animal friends is a very terrified stint on a farm in the rural south of England when I was very little. Which is partially why Equinox: Homecoming utterly fascinated me.
I bring Equinox: Homecoming up less as the subject of this article and more its origin story, but it's still worth talking about. It's a murder-mystery horse MMO being developed by people who worked on World of Warcraft and Helldivers. The core concept, let alone the developer pedigree, all but kept me up at night. I had to find someone who knew why this thing existed—what was I missing?
