Baking is usually a comforting activity. There’s something relaxing about following a recipe, layering cakes just right, and watching your creation come together. But The OG Cake Factory turns that familiar joy into something far more sinister. Here, the only thing rising isn’t just your cakes—it’s your anxiety.
Possibly the best way to describe The OG Cake Factory is that it’s what would happen if Purble Place had a panic attack. It starts simple: you wake up, disoriented, in a strange factory. Orders start coming in. You bake. You decorate. You try to keep up. But something feels off. And then you hear him—the chef.
At first, you’re just assembling cakes in peace, following requests as they come in. But then the factory shifts. The walls seem colder, the air heavier. The chef lurks somewhere behind you, his presence growing more oppressive with every passing second. Take too long on an order, and he gets closer. Rush too much, and you might make a mistake. Either way, you can feel his eyes on you.
It’s a clever twist on a formula that’s usually playful. Instead of lighthearted fun, The OG Cake Factory feeds on your tension. You have to complete seven unique orders to escape, but with each one, the factory feels more suffocating, and the chef moves faster. Every finished cake buys you time—but not much.
There are layers (pun intended) beyond just baking under pressure. As you explore, you start piecing together the truth behind the factory, uncovering how you ended up here and why the chef won’t just let you leave. Two different endings wait depending on how things unfold, making each playthrough a little different.
For those who prefer their baking experience without the looming fear of death, there’s a safe orders mode with four difficulty settings. It lets you focus on the cake-building without worrying about the chef creeping up behind you. But even without the horror elements, the game remains stressful in a way that baking probably shouldn’t be.
Like any good horror game, The OG Cake Factory turns something ordinary into something terrifying. Baking has never been this intense—and once you’ve survived a shift in this factory, you’ll never look at a cake the same way again.
The OG Cake Factory is available now on Steam.
