BK, Mira and everyone else in town have found themselves 999 feet beneath Donut County in a massive cavern, huddled around a campfire together. That 's when the game jumps ahead by a month and a half. He 's already on level nine, and he 's been eagerly opening up holes all over town to gain the points he needs to get to level 10 and earn a fancy flying quadcopter. What BK doesn 't reveal is that he 's obsessed with a certain app that makes holes appear in the ground, and that he 's earning points with everything he collects in a hole. Mira notices the silence immediately, and BK euphemistically explains that he shut the goose up by 'delivering a donut. As more and more objects fall into the hole, it gets big enough to envelop the goose man and make him disappear into the earth below.

This is where the player takes control, opening up their first hole in the ground.

When Mira complains about a loudly honking goose delivery man outside her window, BK swears to avenge her-and he quickly makes good on his word. She 's texting her friend and coworker, a mischievous raccoon named BK, who 's super bored at the town donut shop where they work. The game opens with its only human character, Mira. The hole starts off small, but every time something falls in, the hole grows, until it 's big enough to consume a whole character, or a boulder, or a skyscraper.Īlone, that premise would probably be enough to keep me entertained for a while, but it 's made much richer by its surrounding story. You control a strange hole in the ground, and your goal is to make everything in the level plummet into that hole.

The game was developed by Ben Esposito and published by Annapurna Interactive, which also gave us great titles like What Remains of Edith Finch and Florence. After getting the chance to preview Donut County at E3, I was given a review key last week, and I haven 't been disappointed. I 've been following the progress of a brilliant game called Donut County for years, and it 's finally coming out this week on Aug.
