Horror Game Don't Drop The Cake Set for Steam Release on August 31
The full release builds on a prologue that already earned a Very Positive Steam rating, and the core mechanic turns the player's own startled reactions into a measurable in-game failure state.

Developer Midoriyama announced the horror game Don't Drop The Cake will launch on Steam on August 31. Players carry a wobbling cake balanced with the mouse, and dropping it means death. Grotesque beings and obstacles appear along the way. The game includes checkpoints and difficulty settings. A prologue released in October 2024 holds a Very Positive rating on Steam.
Midoriyama announced the horror game will launch on Steam on Monday, August 31, 2026. The core hook is simple: the cake tilts with mouse movement, so a flinch from a sudden scare or a panicked hand motion sends it shaking toward the ground.
Checkpoints let players retry from the most recent point, and the easiest difficulty ensures the cake does not shake unless the mouse moves. The full version adds new stages, attractions, and story, and the press release describes the game as one that cannot be cleared by cowards.
