About Cat Mail Co.
Cat Mail Co. drops you onto a quiet island post office where parcels have piled up after the former postman vanished. You will weigh, label, stamp and load mail, gradually restoring the service at your own pace. The game blends a calm day‑night cycle, whimsical cat‑themed visuals and optional online co‑op for up to four players.
Each parcel carries its own preferences—weight, fragility, destination—so you decide how to handle it. Nighttime adds subtle magical effects that can change how items behave, while new destinations and tools unlock as the post office regains its former glory.
01 / THE GUIDE
Day‑Night Cycle
The game features a meaningful day‑night cycle that influences parcel handling. As night falls, moonlight reveals strange properties in some items, offering magical insight into how they should be treated. This visual shift does not add timers or penalties, keeping the routine stress‑free.
During daylight the focus remains on standard sorting, weighing, labeling and loading. The transition to night provides new cues without altering the core tasks, allowing players to continue the workflow while noticing subtle changes.
- Observe parcels under moonlight to discover hidden traits before loading them.
- Use the night shift to experiment with handling methods without pressure.

Online Co‑op
Cat Mail Co. supports online co‑op for up to four players. Friends can join the session and divide tasks such as stamping, sorting, or loading the boat, sharing the workflow while each follows the same handling steps.
Co‑op does not modify the core mechanics; it simply allows multiple participants to work together, potentially speeding up the overall process without introducing new rules or penalties.
- Coordinate roles before starting a wave to keep the workflow smooth.
- Communicate about fragile items to avoid accidental damage.

Package Handling
Each parcel can be weighed to determine postage, labeled for its destination, and marked as fragile or heavy. Players may also decorate parcels with stamps and stickers, adding personality without affecting correctness.
There is no single “correct” method; the system rewards careful organization and personal preference, encouraging a satisfying rhythm of small tasks.
- Take time to weigh and label each item to avoid damage.
- Use stickers to visually differentiate similar parcels.

Progression and Unlocks
As you clear the backlog, new destinations become available along with additional tools and abilities that aid in managing the growing operation. These unlocks are tied to the narrative uncovered through sorting parcels.
Improvements are presented as part of the story, emphasizing the restoration of the post office rather than a traditional level‑up system.
- Focus on clearing larger backlogs to unlock new destinations faster.
- Read parcel notes for narrative clues that hint at upcoming tools.
