Uncover a Magical Mystery with the Company of Feline Friends

UTRECHT – March 1, 2022 – Cat Café Manager, the charming restaurant management and feline adoption simulator from developer Roost Games and publisher Freedom Games, prepares a hot cup of delightful charm for Nintendo Switch, Windows PC via Steam and Epic Game Store on Thursday, April 14, 2022.

Welcome to Caterwaul Village, home to friendly faces, cute kitties looking for a good home, and the ramshackle ruins of Granny’s once-thriving café. As Caterwaul’s newest resident, follow in the family’s footsteps to reopen the café, create a delightful menu of dishes, and make it the most purrfect dining location in town while uncovering its mysterious, and possibly magical, secrets.

Restore Granny’s café to its former glory purchasing a wealth of interior decorations and hiring a staff of eager feline enthusiasts to wait on patrons. Adopt Caterwaul’s four-legged residents, learning their personality traits and quirks, while boosting the bistro’s appeal. Befriend regulars like Bonner, a friendly ferryman with a penchant for tall tales, to learn more about the village and earn presents from newfound pals.

Expand the café to feature additional rooms and even more kitties. Blend interior design elements like wallpaper and furniture to create a bespoke style that speaks to the café’s personality. Mix and match decor and menu offerings to attract different customer groups and earn increased profits. With enough hard work, cats, and creativity, Granny’s humble café can become the most popular destination in Caterwaul.

“Cat Café Manager draws inspiration from simulation and management games, with an emphasis on personality, charm, and of course a love for cats,” said Rick Sorgdrager, Lead Game Designer and Writer, Roost Games. “The colors of the café and variety of mousers offer something for everyone in Caterwaul. We are delighted to welcome players to the village soon when Cat Café Manager arrives on Nintendo Switch and Steam in April!”
