Popular Steam Early Access Game Gets Version 1.0 Release Date
A hit sci-fi game with nearly 140,000 ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ reviews gets a 1.0 release date following three years of Steam Early Access.
Cakey’s Twisted Bakery will be free to keep if a gamer claims it before July 7, 2024. After that, it will go back to its normal price of roughly $10 CAD or $7 USD. Cakey’s Twisted Bakery is a horror game in the same vein as Poppy Playtime, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and other similar games based on corrupted child-themed premises. In Cakey’s Twisted Bakery, the horror comes from the fact that human children are used as the secret ingredient for the bakery’s strange pastries. The goal for the player is to escape the bakery and its horrific staff members, while searching for the protagonist’s little brother, George, who has gone missing in the Bakery.

The gameplay loop of Cakey’s Twisted Bakery has the player looking to bake their own deadly pastries that can be used against those roaming the bakery. These include searching for various recipes on the wall, then gathering the ingredients to make them. Like in any other monster-focused horror game, players are advised to hide from the deadly monsters by ducking under tables and using the pies they make to attack the enemies and their corresponding weaknesses.
While the game currently has a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, some recent reviews of the game have been negative, citing issues with its objectives, along with criticizing the mascot horror premise and its underbaked gameplay. However, for indie horror fans who can’t get enough of games like the aforementioned Five Nights at Freddy’s and Poppy Playtime, Cakey’s Twisted Bakery could be a potential free option to check out if they’re morbidly curious.
