About the Game

Grab a knife. Somewhere in this room, something is secretly cake — and next round, it's your turn to bake the lie.

Hidden in Plain Cake is a first-person multiplayer sculpting game where you carve, build, smooth, and paint real sliceable cake into perfect copies of everyday objects. Every cut goes all the way through — and reveals the sponge layers inside.

🔪 Sculpt Like It's Clay. Slice Like It's Cake

No blocks, no grids — free-form sculpting on a real 3D mesh. Lasso a shape and cut it clean out, shave with plane cuts, or carve to a precise depth.

Build up as freely as you cut down: extrude new volume in any shape, dome it, then smooth everything into one seamless surface.

🎂 It's Cake All the Way Down

Your creation isn't a hollow prop. Slice it open anywhere and the interior shows honest cake — stripes of sponge and filling, exactly where you cut.

Paint the outside to sell the illusion. A shoe, a toolbox, a potted plant... whatever the surface says, the inside tells the truth.

🕵️ Fool Your Friends

Play online with friends through Steam. Walk the room in first person, study everyone's handiwork up close, and decide: real object, or dessert in disguise?

Then swap roles. Your sculpt, their suspicion.

Features

  • Free-form sculpting — lasso cuts, plane cuts, depth-capped carves, volume adding, and surface smoothing

  • True sliceable interiors — every cut exposes real cake layers, not textures on a shell

  • Full paint tools — freehand brush, lines, and shape fills to disguise (or decorate) anything

  • Online multiplayer — host or join lobbies with friends via Steam

  • Undo without fear — experiment wildly, roll back the disasters

Can you spot the cake? Can you be the cake?
