Cosy gaming fans, it is time to check your mailboxes. Independent Belgian developer Maracas Studio has officially unveiled its latest project, Cat Mail Co., a delightfully relaxing simulation game that places you in charge of a bustling post office in a charming world inhabited entirely by cats.

If your idea of a perfect evening involves a warm drink, soft aesthetics, and a completely stress-free gameplay loop, this upcoming indie title needs to be firmly on your radar. Even better news? The game’s official Steam page is officially live, and a playable demo is available right now for Steam Next Fest, running from June 15 to June 22.

Check out what we know about this adorable postal adventure below.

Rain, Sleet, or Shine—The Mail Must Flow (At Your Own Pace)

In Cat Mail Co., you arrive at Cat’s Island only to find the local post office in complete disarray following the mysterious disappearance of the former postman. Parcels are piling up to the ceiling, locals are waiting, and it’s up to you to restore the service to its former glory—one package at a time.

Unlike chaotic management sims that stress you out with ticking clocks, Cat Mail Co. is designed from the ground up as a zen experience. There are no timers and no penalties. Instead, the game focuses on the satisfying tactile rhythm of daily postal work:

• Weighing & Sorting: Make sure every package is routed correctly.
• Stamping & Labelling: Decorate and organise mail using a variety of whimsical stamps.
• Expanding the Network: Gradually unlock new destinations, better tools, and unique feline abilities to optimise your workflow.

A Magical Twist After Dark

The routine takes a mysterious turn when the sun goes down. Cat Mail Co. features a meaningful day/night cycle where the night shift introduces magical mechanics. Under the glow of the moonlight, certain parcels reveal unusual, hidden properties, adding a layer of supernatural discovery to your organising routine and slowly uncovering a story hidden within the backlog of undelivered mail.

Deliver Solo or in 4-Player Co-op

Want some extra paws on deck? You don’t have to manage the chaos alone. Cat Mail Co. features up to 4-player online cooperative gameplay. You and your friends can team up to divide and conquer the mailroom backlog, or simply hang out together and enjoy the cosy atmosphere as a team.

“In an ever-changing and often unpredictable video game industry, we believe there is still a place for small indie games with strong creative vision. With Cat Mail Co., we wanted to offer players a truly relaxing experience…” — Sophie Schiaratura, Co-founder of Maracas Studio
