News: The popular indie title where you control a hole in the ground will be arriving on both Microsoft and Nintendo’s platform.

Donut County is arriving on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One next week from Ben Esposito. Donut County is a physics-based adventure game where you control a hole that is in the ground. Every time something goes into that hole, the hole grows a little bigger.

In Donut County you play as a raccoon named BK, a new hire at a startup that uses remote-controlled holes to steal people’s trash, along with everything else. BK eventually falls into the hole himself and once that happens he needs to speak to his best friend Mira, as well as the other residents of Donut County, that are stuck 999 feet below their homes.

A couple of the key features for Donut County include the following:

Exploring negative space by giving players control over a hole in the ground;

Combine objects in the hole for surprising effects, solve puzzles by launching them back out, and ruin everyone’s day by devouring everything in sight.

Take a look at the trailer below so you can get a better idea of what Donut County is and then tell us what you think. Donut County will arrive on the Nintendo Switch beginning December 18 for $12.99. It will also be participating in Microsoft’s Winter of Arcade promotion for Xbox One and will also arrive on that platform on December 18.
