Current Patch Notes

Ver1.02 was posted September 1, 2026 UTC. SteamDB lists update notes via Steam Community: some background music tracks changed, and a cake-tilt issue in certain sections on Super Easy difficulty was fixed.

The August 31, 2026 Ver. 1.01 update fixed excessive cake shaking after a cutscene and adjusted the difficulty of the conveyor belt stage. The patch note does not identify which numbered stage contains the conveyor belt, and it does not state whether the conveyor belt was made easier or harder.

What Counts As A Verified Walkthrough

The next safe walkthrough update should include exact stage names, screenshots of checkpoints, menu difficulty labels, enemy or monster names, and specific trap solutions from the released game. Steam store copy confirms the premise, difficulty/checkpoint support and story setup, but it does not verify stage routes.

Spoiler Policy

Keep early-stage help spoiler-light. Put ending explanations and final-stage story details on the Ending page, then link back from the walkthrough only when the player asks for that answer. This keeps the walkthrough useful for both first runs and story searches.

First Run Notes

  1. Start a clean full-game run and record the difficulty selected before the first stage begins.
  2. Screenshot the stage title or first objective text. This prevents the walkthrough from guessing stage names from trailers or demo footage.
  3. Mark each checkpoint by objective, room shape and danger immediately before it. A checkpoint description is more useful than a vague paragraph about being careful.
  4. When the cake drops, record the cause: mouse overcorrection, scare reaction, chase timing, trap pathing or unclear route. Those causes should become the troubleshooting notes inside each stage guide.
  5. Keep ending notes separate until the player actively opens the ending page. A walkthrough can tell players how to reach the final sequence without spoiling the last reveal in the opening answer.

Walkthrough FAQ

Is this already the final route? Not verified yet. It is the released-game route hub, with unverified details clearly marked until the corresponding steps have been checked in the current version.

Why list stages before exact solutions? Because the developer has already described the structure as four main stages plus a short final stage, and that structure tells us how to organize evidence without inventing the actual route.

What should be updated first? Stage 1, controls, and the first repeated failure point. Exact early answers are more useful than a broad but vague complete guide.

When should old demo notes be removed? When the full-game route differs. Demo notes can remain as practice context only if they are clearly marked and do not contradict the released route.
