About an average day at the cat cafe
In an average day at the cat cafe, you run a cozy little cafe and serve signature drinks to a line of customers that stretches down the block: cats, ducks and creatures that are harder to name.
During the day it's a gentle cat cafe game. Customers queue up, you make their drinks, and the place stays busy. Things shift after dark, when stranger guests start turning up and keeping the doors open gets harder. How long your cafe lasts is the real question.
It was made for a game jam, so it's compact and focused. The art is hand-drawn in warm, soft colors, with sunlight pouring through tall cafe windows and a sleepy orange cat on the title screen. You can play an average day at the cat cafe online here.

What to Expect in an average day at the cat cafe
It starts out cozy, with soft colors, cats everywhere and a steady stream of orders. The night shift is where the title starts to sound a little ironic. Without spoiling who shows up, the later customers in an average day at the cat cafe are a lot less average than the first ones.
It's a slice-of-life cat cafe game rather than a horror game, with a spooky streak after sunset. The guests get odd, but the warm, cozy feel is what the game is built on.

It only needs a browser tab, so there's nothing to download or install. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads on your connection, it plays the same as anywhere else.

During the day you'll mostly serve cats and ducks, all lining up for your signature drinks. As the hours go on and night arrives, stranger creatures start appearing in the queue. Discovering who comes through the door after dark is a big part of the fun, so it's worth keeping the cafe open as long as you can.
