Swallow Up The ‘Donut County’ Release Date

by Dylan Blight

You’ll be swallowing up all manner of things in Donut County as its release date has been revealed and it’s only a few weeks away.

IGN has
revealed
that Ben Esposito’s Donut County, published by Annapurna Interactive,
will be releasing on PS4, PC, iOS and Mac on August 28.
You can pre-order it on PS4 for $19.45 (or $15.56 for PS Plus members) and for $7.99 on iOS.

Recently, Esposito
spoke out
about cheap rip-offs and clones of Donut County charting on the App Store, like Hole.io,
which is currently at #4 on the iOS free games chart. Unfortunately, an idea isn’t protected by copyright and,
even after working on the game for five years, nothing can be done to stop someone cheaply ripping off the premise and core mechanic.

The biggest difference between Donut County and other games using its core mechanic is
Donut County’s focus on a story—which, on paper, might sound odd.

You’ll be playing levels as flashbacks as characters discuss the rampage the hole caused across America,
and you’ll solve puzzles to suck everything into the ground.
