I'm taking Donut Panic to the Tokyo Game Show, which means it's time to make a demo!

But there's a pretty fundamental issue with core loop of my cooking horror game, which is that cooking had no real importance to the gameplay, so I had to rethink the game design.

To fix this, I ended up adding a few new layers to the gameplay, making cooking more important, rewarding players for cooking well, adding some risk and reward to incentivize cooking quickly, and a brand new CCTV insurance mechanic to balance things out.

I'm also giving away two Donut Panic art packages! All you have to do is check out the demo and let me know what you think in the comments below. Two winners will be drawn at random from all valid comments on this video and contacted via email or discord shortly after the closing date. Competition closes Tuesday 22nd September 2026 at 23:59 GMT. Competition is open to subscribers aged 18 years or older, in countries currently reachable by Royal Mail.

Donut Panic will be at booth E-49 in the Selected Indie 80 area.
