It comes with a reversible cover art insert, designed by Lily Nishita. It’s an exclusive release, limited to 5,000 copies, and is a region-free disc. The physical release comes by way of iam8bit.

This nega-Katamari has been released by publisher Annapurna Interactive on iOS, macOS, Windows, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game has been described as a “reverse Katamari.” The core of Donut County is based on a Molydeux Game Jam idea. Go Nuts for DonutsĬreator Ben Esposito worked on Donut County in his free time during development of The Unfinished Swan. It’s a simple mechanic that lends itself well to puzzles as well as simply being fun. The hole starts fairly small, but grows as objects are taken in. In Donut County, the player controls BK’s destructive holes, which swallow up townspeople and everything else. This is where the main gameplay mechanic reveals itself. It turns out this new app is actually sending holes instead of donuts. While BK thinks he delivered the honking man a donut via a new app, something more untoward is going on. The game opens up with the two texting each other and BK promising to do something about “the honking man.” While arguably a health code violation, it’s still a cute friendship. He works at a donut shop with his human friend Mira. The questionable protagonist of the game is a raccoon named BK. It took home mobile game of the year just last month at SXSW. 2018’s raccoon simulator of sorts is still going strong. Donut County has the honor of being our physical indie release of the week.
