About Cat Cafe Manager
Cat Cafe Manager is a cozy management sim from Roost Games, published by indie.io. Your grandmother has left you a small, run-down cafe in the sleepy village of Caterwaul Way, and it is up to you to fix the place up, impress the locals and give the town’s many stray cats a warm home. It is a relaxed game with no harsh fail states, built for unwinding after a long day.
The first job is renovation. Clear out the dust, rebuild walls and floors, then decorate and expand the cafe however you like with furniture, plants and themed décor. Over time you design a welcoming space for cats and people alike, hire staff, balance their workload and help them improve their skills so service runs smoothly even on the busiest festival days.
The menu matters too. You develop custom dishes and drinks, discover new recipes while travelling around town and tailor what you serve to the different groups of customers who visit. Each customer group has its own tastes, and keeping them happy brings in money for further upgrades and unlocks new opportunities for the business.
At the heart of the game are relationships. Every stray cat is unique, with its own traits and needs, and befriending and adopting them changes how your cafe feels. Villagers such as Finley, a young musician chasing his big break, and Bonner, the ferryman with very tall stories, open up as you get to know them. Their trust gradually reveals clues about the crumbling shrine to an old feline god hidden in the nearby forest.
