The developers of Cakey’s Twisted Bakery claimed that the game had over 1 million downloads 24 hours after its official launch on Steam. TinyMindz had, however, started the giveaway with 10 free Steam keys shared through their official X page on July 3. Steam also claimed that early downloaders could keep the game for free after July 7, while new players would have to pay after the deadline.
Steam described a very straightforward gameplay guideline on its official website to give players an idea of what was happening in Cakey’s Bakery. According to Steam, the game takes you on a journey to rescue your little brother George before the ‘sweet and scary’ monsters have him for a snack.
“To rescue him, you must face the challenges of Cakey and his crumbly companions: Frostina and Candy Bane.”
Steam pointed out that players should gather specific ingredients to bake ‘pies of destruction’ to attack and obliterate particular roaming monsters in Cakey’s Bakery. The PC gaming platform also warned players that the horror game was not a ‘walk in the park’ because one wrong move could turn players into the next ‘monster meal.’
Cakey’s Bakery receives positive reviews
While it is still early to make any drastic decisions, Steam promised the game was worth adding to any player’s library. Notably, 72% of the 302 reviewers on Steam so far gave this game a positive review.

According to one reviewer on Steam, this classic first-person survival horror game allows you to explore the bakery’s dark rooms and corners, solve puzzles, hide from monsters, and use various items for survival. “Cakey’s Twisted Bakery masterfully crafts a creepy and tense atmosphere. The gloomy design, eerie music, and sound effects create a sense of constant danger, and the monsters you’ll encounter are both disgusting and frightening.” said Met on Steam.
The gaming platform also advised interested players looking for smooth gameplay to have a PC that meets the following requirements: 64-bit Windows 10 OS, 8 GB RAM, version 12 of DirectX, at least 1100 MB of available space, and a GeForce GT 1030 | RX 550 graphics card.
