Arc System Works Announces Donutal, Alien Interrogation Adventure 🕵️

Published on February 19, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Arc System Works presents Donutal, a title that moves away from its usual fighters. It's an investigation adventure where dialogue is the main tool. Players will have to interrogate extraterrestrial beings to solve cases, combining narrative and analysis in a science fiction setting. The game will arrive on PC.

The developer has built a dialogue system with multiple layers of analysis. Players not only choose responses, but also examine body language, voice fluctuations, and biometric data of the subjects. The collected information is cross-referenced with an evolving database, where each previous case can alter the interpretation of new evidence.

It promises an experience where an awkward silence is not a social failure, but a legitimate clue. You'll have to master the art of asking tricky questions to a being that possibly has three mouths and speaks in equations. At least you won't have to worry about table manners; the interstellar etiquette for an interrogation is still unwritten.
