CAKES

Your OS may prevent you from running CAKES. Here are some tested solutions.

Windows Users running Windows 10 v21h1:

1. Select Start > Settings.
2. Click Update & Security.
3. Select Windows Security.
4. Click the Open Windows Security button.
5. Select App & Browser Control > Reputation-based Protection.
6. Toggle Potentially Unwanted App Blocking to turn the feature on or off. 

Note: If left on, select whether you want both apps and downloads blocked, or just one of the two.

macOS Users running Monterrey 12.0:

1. Locate the game in Finder. Don’t use Launchpad to locate the app!
2. Control-click the game’s icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
3. Click Open. This saves the game as an exception to your security settings, which means you can open it at any time by double-clicking it. 

macOS Users running Big Sur 11.0 or Catalina 10.15:

1. Double-click the game’s icon like you normally would. You will get a warning prompt.
2. After receiving the prompt, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General 
3. Click Open Anyway. 
4. You may receive a second warning prompt asking you to confirm your choice. Click Open. This saves the game as an exception to your security settings, which means you can open it at any time by double clicking it. 

Note: The Open Anyway button is available for roughly an hour after you try to open the blocked game.
