Cat Cafe Manager

Cat Cafe Manager inherits you a run-down cafe in the sleepy village of Caterwaul Way. The renovation comes first - hammering the building back into shape, decorating and expanding it, then hiring staff and refining a menu of custom dishes for the locals who wander in.

The village is full of strays, each one with its own personality, and adopting them turns the cafe into a sanctuary as much as a business. Relationships with townsfolk like the musician Finley or the ferryman Bonner deepen over time, unlocking dialogue branches that touch the town's strange history.

A mystery threads through it all. An ancient shrine to a feline god crumbles in the woods outside town, and keeping cats and customers happy enough is the only way to pry loose the clues that explain it. Festivals tied to the village's lore reward careful planning around the seasons.
