You play as BK, a raccoon using remote-controlled holes to swallow objects around Donut County. After falling into one of his own holes, he faces his friend Mira and the other residents far below ground, who want answers.
In each character’s home, steer the hole beneath objects. It grows as it swallows smaller things, allowing it to take in larger ones. Use objects and their effects to interact with the environment, solve light puzzles, and sometimes launch items back out of the hole.
The levels move through different residents’ homes, while conversations between stages tell the story. New object interactions add twists to the swallowing-and-growing loop, from combining items to creating effects that help clear a path through a level.
Players who enjoy Donut County often praise the satisfying, low-pressure fun of growing a hole by swallowing everything nearby. Reviews also frequently appreciate its cute characters, offbeat humor, and art and music. Some players find the puzzles too easy or the experience too short, and opinions on the dialogue’s humor vary.
