Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 7

Don't Drop The Cake, a horror game from indie developer Midoriyama, is now available on Steam for PC. The game launched on August 31. Players carry a wobbling cake through spaces filled with grotesque beings and traps, balancing it with the mouse. Getting startled makes the cake sway and fall, and dropping it means death. The core mechanic turns the player's own panic into the main failure state, rather than relying on combat or puzzles.

The release follows a prologue that came out in October 2024 and holds a Very Positive rating on Steam. The full game includes many checkpoints and adjustable difficulty settings. It costs 890 yen, on sale at 792 yen until September 14.
