Yellow Cake
A downloadable game for Windows
"The only game where you can flirt with an incapacitated bodyguard... guaranteed!"
A comedic and light-hearted real-time stealth tactics game where a family of spies are on a mission to retrieve an important document from a Russian scientist's villa.
Whether you choose to be "one with the shadows" or a bunch of frying-pan-flinging cylindrical sleuths is up to you! But remember, you won't succeed unless you make use of each character's unique abilities and work together as a team.

For those having trouble with progress, we've provided this readme - hope it helps curb the frustration and improve player experience. :)
Walkthrough / Solution:
1. Pickpocket a key from one of the three guards holding them
You'll need to be Mrs. Rogue to do this. The key should be visible on the front of their bodies and there are 3 in the level.
2. Unlock the front, back or garage door to get into the house.
You can only open a single outer door with one key, so if you want to open multiple doors, get more keys! Dropping keys (E) can be bugged, so be mindful of that.
3. Collect/smash the vase from the lounge
Make sure to do this with Mr. Hitman as he's the only one that can throw it to reveal the safe key.
Be careful where you break the vase to make sure the key is recoverable!
4. Find a way into the office using Baby Scout
The office door is permanently locked, but keen eyes will reveal a smaller entrance on the walls...
5. Unlock the safe and grab the document
Note: Strength Lies in Differences!
Distractions work through walls/windows. Perhaps use two spies together - one to distract, the baby to grab and run.
6. Get the document to the extraction point
Easier said than done!
Pitfalls:
• Please be careful not to smash the vase near an enemy patrol path, the safe key can roll into the geometry and be unrecoverable.
• If you get caught with the safe key on you, you may also need to restart.
We hope this helps! Tutorialisation is something we desperately wanted to include but had no time to implement as our scope was too big. Lesson learnt for next time eh? We hope you enjoy playing!
