Cat Cafe Manager
Cat Cafe Manager is a game about developing your own Cat Cafe in Caterwaul Way. The player can adopt stray cats which affect the cafe, and befriend villagers who visit the business. In return, the player can discover various mysteries of the settlement.
Storyline
Your grandmother left you a small cafe in the sleepy village of Caterwaul Way, and it's up to you to fix the place up and turn it into a cat cafe. Local customers will visit your business and you can adopt strays from the vast feline population of the settlement.
How to Play
The game starts by letting you name your cafe and customise your character. After a cutscene, you can pick one of three starter Cats. Cats have different Traits and Needs. A happy cat means happier Customers.
Customers come in six types: Artists, Businesspeople, Fisherfolk, Punks, Vagabonds, and Witches. They provide unique Resources that are used for different things.
Jewels purchase Appliances and Decorations; Gold purchases high end Furniture; Fish purchases Pet Goods; Materials are used to expand the Cafe; Fabric purchases Seating Furniture; and Nectar purchases Recipes and Ingredients.
Your goal is to satisfy customer needs and earn Delight. This is used to restore the Cat Shrine by completing Projects, which upgrade the Cafe. As the Cafe expands, you can hire Staff to help take care of the Cafe and customers.
Recommendations:
- You will always need Nectar. Focus on levelling up Carla-Lalla and satisfying Witches. Invest in Plants before Level 2 and Toilets before Level 3.
