About Cats & Cups
Cats & Cups invites players into a cozy barista simulation where every customer is a charming cat. Brew coffee, tea, and whimsical specialty drinks while navigating simple mini‑games that accompany each recipe.
Beyond brewing, you can decorate the café with hand‑drawn furniture and lighting, meet dozens of feline personalities, and unlock new stories and menu items, creating a warm, casual escape.
01 / THE GUIDE
Brewing & Mini‑Games
Each drink—whether coffee, tea, or a special feline‑themed concoction—triggers its own mini‑game. These challenges turn preparation into a short, interactive task that varies by recipe.
Successfully completing the mini‑games satisfies “catstomers,” encouraging them to return and allowing you to progress through the café’s story.
- Focus on one drink type to learn its specific mini‑game pattern.
- Watch timing cues; many mini‑games rely on rhythm or matching.

Café Customization
You can place furniture, decorations, and lighting throughout the shop. The options let you shape a warm atmosphere that matches the hand‑drawn aesthetic.
As you progress, you can also unlock new areas and expand your menu, letting the café grow.
- Try softer lighting for a more inviting feel.
- Balance decorative items to avoid visual clutter.

Catstomer Personalities
The café attracts cats from varied backgrounds—curious kittens, retired adventurers, bookish tabbies, and more. Each has a distinct personality that appears in dialogue.
Repeated visits reveal bits of each cat’s story, adding depth to the otherwise simple service loop.

Hand‑Drawn Visuals

The visual consistency reinforces the gentle tone and encourages players to linger in each scene.
