Cat Cafe Manager Reviews

If you like games like Hotel Dash this is the perfect game for you. 10/10 would recommend as someone whose first favorite game was Hotel Dash.

I really loved this game! The art was adorable, the representation and diversity was wonderful, the characters were so kind and funny, and it was the perfect mind-off game to play while watching something. This game is exactly what I was looking for and I am very excited for the sequel!

I love this game and definitely recommend it! It’s a bit short—the main story can be finished in less than 30 hours—but I absolutely enjoyed it. I’m so excited for the second one!

I loved this game and have played through a few times. Pros: Exactly the engagement level I was looking for: enough to keep you occupied and interested, but not so much that you're constantly pausing your podcast or audiobook to focus or pay attention. Great pacing. I think a big reason I've come back to this one a few times rather than play some of my others to completion for the first time is they've just nailed the cozy progress speed. No rushing. No slogging. No straining. No grinding. Just happy doing. The storyline is good and I actually like most of the characters. Aside from some of the more involved shrine or memory lane stuff, it's pretty brief and pleasant. Also cute and creative enough that even when I fully meant to click past the dialouge, I'll usually just read through it again because it's so enjoyable. I'm particularly thinking of the DND campaign here. So much thought and stylization clearly went into this game. I never tire of decorating with all the creative and sometimes just strikingly beautiful plants, knick knacks, lamps, furniture, appliances and art. The satisfaction of upgrading is just incredibly soothing. If you're a cozy gamer, this is a 10/10.

Very fun game! It's not too long which is fine. It's fun to 100% complete. Music is cute, graphics are cute, very fun gameplay mechanics. I enjoyed every minute of it and can't wait for Cat Cafe Manager 2!

The game was okay, if you're only interested in playing for a little bit and finishing the game. The characters are pretty boring typical stereotypes, customization is really really limited, and the overall mechanics of the game are just.. lacking. I got bored pretty fast.

I downloaded and bought this game due to reading the mass of 'very positive' reviews on how fun and cute this game is. I'm 40 minutes in and im highly regretting spending money on this game - its repetitive and boring. The trailer on decorating the cafe and more is very misleading when it comes to playing you have to purchase furniture and they only give you set one or two choices in the 'shop'. Luckily i bought it in the sale - i would be more disgruntled if i had paid FULL PRICE for it. Don't fall for the gimmick trailer like me and waste your money & time.

This game is cute. It's definitely not my favorite, but its still fun, and I'll definitely try and complete all the achievements on it. The art and characters are cute. You get minimal options for your own characters look, but its not the emphasis of the game, so that doesn't bother me. You get enough skin tones and hair variations to make someone who at least somewhat looks like you. You also get an option of three traits to give yourself. That brings me to my first problem. The traits themselves are fine, and I like them, but its the stats that the traits affect that annoy me. I tried playing this game by allocating stats into what I felt like described me. My social was low and my cooking was high, and I knew I was going to struggle until I got staff, but then I got them and it still was annoying. The game clearly prioritizes the player having social skills as one of the only things I noticed staff couldn't do was chat with customers. I don't know if this is a bug or how its intended, but it makes it pointless to invest in anything but that once you get your first staff because your staff can do every other stat for you. It's not the end of the world, you just don't get as much pay, and it takes a little longer, but so far it hasn't been completely bothering me. I want to restart my save now knowing this to maximize, but theres nothing forcing you to do that. Outside of the art, the story so far has been cute. The characters are diverse, although they're relatively one dimensional so far (I'm on level 3 of friendship, so take it with a grain of salt.) The progression is a good pace, not too fast but not too slow. Next issue I have comes with the currency. Rather than having one big currency, currency is split into 6 different categories based on what you want to buy. You can change around "advertisements", which changes who comes to your cafe, so you can streamline what currency your getting, but it slows progression so much, especially in the early game. I don't mind the categories, and honestly kind of like them, but I think 6 is a little excessive. Again, its not a game breaking issue, just creates a little annoyance when they get extremely skewed, and it feels like I can't really streamline them without being punished in some way. My final issue comes with the cats. They're cute, I love their system, and my issue doesn't actually really effect gameplay, so I'm willing to overlook it, but the cats have needs that I feel like weren't explained the greatest. You can completely ignore them for what seems like no punishment, which feels a bit odd. Also, fufilling some of these needs is locked behind progression, meaning you cant even begin to fufil them until youre decently into the story. I think that sums up my main problem. Progression feels clunky. You either get punished for doing things uniquely or you go completely unpunished for things that feel like they should be bigger? I like the game, hence why I'm reccomending it, so don't think mostly negative review the wrong way. I'm especially forgiving knowing theyre working a 2nd one now, and I think if they fix a couple of these issues I will love the game. I would buy it on sale, if anything. TLDR : Progression feels clunky but the game is otherwise cute & fun. Buy on sale, imo!

this game is wildly addicting omg the characters are all so cute and the gameplay is really fluid once you get going and also CATS! i'm so glad i found this!

This game is just okay- I'm happy I got it on sale price. The game play loop is kind of slow and boring, the RNG at the stores are quite annoying especially when you need tables and chairs. The heart earning system is super slow and quite grindy so that you can unlock more things. I thought this game would be more about cats but really it feels like a cheap management sim that lacks a lot of things that could of made it much better. It seems like a really cheap cat skin on top of a just okay management game (if that makes sense) It is also really annoying that when you have staff hired at the cafe the time freezes when you go out and buy resources- as a cafe manager it should just run on real time but that's just me. 5/10 definitely over hyped game and if you do get it, get it on sale EDIT: now that i completed the game I can re-edit my review... it takes about 10-12 hours to complete, I stand by my review, the game is extremely grindy, and it only gets a bit more faster once it is complete.
