Description
Donut County is a story-based physics puzzle game where you play as an ever-growing hole in the ground. Meet cute characters, steal their trash, and throw them in a hole.

Where Trash is Treasure

Raccoons have taken over Donut County with remote-controlled trash-stealing holes. You play as BK, a hole-driving raccoon who swallows up his friends and their homes to earn idiotic prizes.  

When BK falls into one of his own holes, he’s confronted by his best friend Mira and the residents of Donut County, who are all stuck 999 feet underground… and they demand answers!

The Hole Keeps Growing

  • EXPLORE every character’s home, each with their own unique environment.
  • MOVE the hole to swallow up their stuff, growing bigger each time.
  • COMBINE objects inside for crazy effects: cook soup, breed bunnies, launch fireworks, and more.
  • CATAPULT things back out of the hole. You can use it to solve puzzles...or just destroy stuff.
  • DEVOUR everything. The hole won’t stop until the whole county is all gone.
Donut County was created by Ben Esposito, designer on What Remains of Edith Finch and The Unfinished Swan. It is the result of six years of solo development, dozens of donuts (for research), and one fateful encounter with a raccoon.

Absolutely delightful

I had a smile on my face for the entire duration of Donut County. There's so much love poured into every part of the game. The bunny section is hysterical. You'll see what I mean. The main critique from others will likely be that the game is too short (it clocked at 90 minutes for me) but I personally think this is an advantage. I'm not a fan of dumping hours into games anymore. I appreciate great mechanics, great artwork and great storytelling. This game has all three of those and does not outlive its stay. Thank you, Ben, for this amazing experience.

Not much to it

For this price I was expecting a bit more. First, as others have mentioned, it is quite short- I finished it in about 1.5 hrs. The bigger problem, though, is that there isn't much to the game-play. Each level has only a few items to collect, so there really isn't any challenge to figuring out what order to collect them in. It is also generally easy to collect all items in a level, so, even though you are given a score at the end of each level, it doesn't mean much. The only real game-play is the occasional puzzles that show up in later levels. On the plus side, I enjoyed the characters and the dialogue, and the art was nice. The game was a positive experience overall, but there just wasn't enough to it.

Like biting in a good donut !

I played the game in one sitting with my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. We had a smile on our faces the whole time and the game managed to make us laugh out loud a few times. We were also pretty engrossed in the story which I didn't really expect when I started it. We really wanted to know what would happen to BK and his friends as well as the town of Donut County. While the game is quite short I think it is actually one of its greatest strenght, it took us about 2 and a half hours to beat it and I think this is just the right ammount for a game like this, it makes it so that the gameplay doesn't become stale or repetitive and gave us enough time to buy into the story and get attached to characters. Visually the game is absolutely lovely, the character models look really good and the animations are cute. BK is the most adorable racoon I've ever seen. I want a racoon now ! Now as far as gameplay goes it is extremely simple and each level plays more or less the same way, you make your little hole appear and start eating stuff to make it grow. Some levels do require some thinking and have cool little puzzles. All in all I think this is a wonderful game and I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone, the price entry may seem steep but I think 15 dollars is well worth it for 2 and a half hours of fun and jolliness !

Doesn't outstay it's welcome

Usually I only buy heavily discounted games but as DC looked so cute I opened up my wallet and let the moths out. DC has one gimmick - the hole - and the length of the game is about right due to this; any longer (under 2 hours) and it would feel stretched. There is something really enjoyable about swallowing things. All the puzzles are really basic so no brain-strain. The game is entirely mouse-driven (sometimes you even left click!) The dialogue (text only) is a simple back and forth between characters and I found mildly amusing. Personally I won't pay full price - but remember the aforementioned moths. Worth wishlisting and getting it on sale.

This game is trash!

Total garbage! (literally ;) Surprisingly fun game with a fun story and characters... very short, but........ sweet as a dozen donuts! Some fun achievements to go for as well... all in all a solid experience from start to finish. Can easily play the entire game in one sitting. Soundtrack stinks too!!!
