E For Everyone // Mild fantasy violence, comic mischief
Donut County begins with BK the raccoon texting his employee Mira that she needs to come to work before the game shifts to a few weeks later, with the entire town underground. Thanks to the app that BK was using, they were able to control a small hole in the ground that could suck up anything that fell into it while also making it grow, which is where the gameplay comes in.
The levels are divided into sandpits where players have to make their hole bigger by swallowing more objects and sometimes the mechanics would be complex like when they have to lure a bird into drinking water. Donut County is a strange but deeply comforting game.
