Donutal launches on Steam with soundtrack bonus

Donutal is an alien conversation adventure game set in 2206, after the former International Space Station has become the International Space Port. Players take the role of a Chief Extraterrestrial Counselor who wakes from 150 years of cryosleep and must interview aliens seeking entry to Earth.

The player’s job is to screen groups of up to eight aliens, question them, compare their statements, and decide who should be allowed onto the planet. Up to two aliens can be brought into the interview room at once, with their answers changing based on their relationship, species, or hidden motives.

Player decisions affect the wider story, with daily news reports showing how each day’s choices changed Earth. The game also centers on the counselor’s forgotten debt and whether they can repay it.

Players who buy Donutal from Sept. 3 to Nov. 30 will receive future access to the Donutal Original Soundtrack and its 13 in-game tracks.
