Cat Mail Co.

Cat Mail Co. is a cozy first-person management and organization game developed by Maracas Studio.



Players take control of a neglected post office on Cat Island, where an unexplained disappearance has left rooms overflowing with undelivered parcels.

The Cat Mail Co. main objective is to restore the postal service by receiving packages, identifying their requirements, applying labels and stamps, organizing storage rooms, and loading outgoing deliveries onto a boat.

The experience combines relaxing routine-based gameplay with light puzzles and increasingly complex logistics.

There are no strict timers or serious penalties, allowing players to organize the office at their own pace.

However, packages can become damaged when dropped, stacked incorrectly, or stored under unsuitable conditions.
