The OG Cake Factory

Game starts off in an intriguing way, I liked the visual style, making cakes and figuring out how to move on past that segment, then the game spirals drastically, the UI & UX for that computer puzzle were pretty poor and felt like a great way to dissolve any sense of horror or atmosphere you had generated prior. Then followed by what felt like mismatched mechanics of a weak FNAF fan game with little creative direction. Clicking on hats whilst cake buttons incorrectly correspond to their actions, left me wondering if the game was broken or badly designed and actually trying to irritate me. Some creative ideas badly executed. Wouldn't recommend.

I cannot recommend this game.

It's my own fault. They had a demo out many months ago and it revealed what appeared to be a game about how two worlds collided and there was something sinister that you would have to uncover and dig into. I got the full game excited to dive into this world and find out why we were making virtual cakes or why we were trapped in a virtual reality and figured that there would be a huge game world to explore.

I was entirely wrong. The whole game consists of you making cakes, then discovering that there is a world outside of cake making which makes you excited to play, then you get chased ONE time, then you spend the rest of your time making cakes while a guy slowly advances down a hallway and kills you if he reaches you.

Man I wish I was kidding because the demo got me so excited for this entire world building that they were going to do, but it ended up being just about a guy walking slowly down a hallway while you make cakes. It wouldn't be so bad if making cakes wasn't frustrating with the buttons all changing places and the frosting colors and switching again and again. I really just don't know what this developer was going for.

It honestly feels like they had this idea for a really neat game where the player didn't know what was reality and what was virtual... and then they started making the game and realized that they were way out of their depth and couldn't develop it into a full game... so they just had to go back and make cakes. Huge letdown as I believe they could have really done some cool world building here.

Cannot recommend this. It's just making cakes and nothing else. It's my own fault!

I had a really good time with this game! I need to revisit it to find the second ending at some point.

I will say however, I'm not sure if the level 7 is broken because no matter what I do, he shows up at the same time each time. So might either need a fix or a clarification (like "hint") on what you're doing wrong since he just charges the player each time no matter what I did.

But like said, great game! Hope to see more from this developer!
