The Insider Gaming 28 Days Later Showcase is proud to present Donut Panic. Unlike other horror games, it blends cooking-simulator elements with Anomaly horror.
Behaviour Interactive is publishing this game, and Kyle Banks is developing it. This game is set in a rundown, late-night Scottish diner. You’re the sole night-shift baker, frying, decorating, and serving donuts, drinks, and coffee to a steady stream of patrons.
When possessed customers and triggered anomalies appear, you’ll have to abandon the kitchen and take refuge in the panic room. Read the signs right, and the night moves on. However, get it wrong, and you’re trapped in a looping nightmare.
A demo is available now on Steam.
