Donut County rolls onto PC, PlayStation 4, and iOS on August 28

Ben Esposito’s latest game is Donut County, which combines an adorable aesthetic with zany gameplay in which you’re a hole in the ground. With the help of publisher Annapurna Interactive, it launches on PC, PlayStation 4, and iOS on August 28.

Donut County is playful, featuring nonplussed raccoons on scooters and a friendly sherbet color palette. Underneath its benign exterior, it’s also about gentrification and an us-vs.-them mentality. In each level, you control a hole in the ground, swallowing up pastoral small-town America and growing ever larger. First you might inhale some small potted plants, then you move on to an enormous tractor, until finally you’ve consumed everything. The unlucky denizens who fall victim to the hole gather in a cave underground, discussing their misfortune and pointing fingers at protagonist Mira, who works at the local donut shop.
