Our top pick of the week?

Donut County
29/08/18

There are plenty of contenders for our pick this week, The Messenger, Two Point Hospital, Strange Brigade, but it can’t be denied after we got hands on with Donut County at PAX Aus 2017 we were immediately smitten. With only two screens set up for the weekend it almost always had someone playing and everyone left with a huge grin.

Bright and colourful with smart and witty writing and enough charm to fill two games we can’t wait to get into this puzzling story about a racoon, a donut shop and a sentient hole.
