Yokohama, Japan – September 3rd 2026 – Arc System Works is thrilled to announce that the alien inspection adventure game Donutal is launching on Steam today, on 3rd September, 2026.

Key:

Conversation is Your Only Weapon

Unravel the truth through gripping, high-stakes dialogue. Interrogate and outwit your alien visitors to expose their true intentions.

 A Bizarre Cast of Extraterrestrials

Meet a wildly diverse roster of unique aliens, each with distinct biological quirks and complex social backgrounds—such as the wingless Sinala, who are treated as a lower caste. 

Fate in Your Hands

Earth's future relies on your screening results. Will your decisions save the planet or doom it?


 

Story:

The year is 2206. You awaken from a 150-year cryosleep only to find yourself saddled with a massive, unexplained debt. To pay it off, you are thrust into a job you never asked for: 'Chief Extraterrestrial Counsellor' aboard a bustling international spaceport built from the former ISS. As you interview a steady stream of extraterrestrials arriving on Earth for tourism, immigration, asylum, or even criminal enterprise, you must uncover their true motives. Your judgements won't just clear your debt -they will determine the fate of Earth itself!
