Hello Fellow Cats and Cat Lovers, Just a little news to tell you that everything is fixed regarding the supporter pack for those of you who bought the right package.

You can read how to activate it here:

For those of you who bought the wrong package before July 11th and can't activate the pack, please send me an email at [email protected]. We'll send you a Steam code to download the supporter pack. Note that we already received a bunch of emails, and it will take some time to answer all of you with only two paws. Thank you for your understanding.

Enjoy the supporter pack!

Cheers, VirginRedemption

Edit: The special offer giving the Supporter Pack for free on the first week after release is now over. You may still buy the Supporter Pack as a separate DLC.

Hi Fellow Cats and Cat's Lovers,

We have some big news to share.

First of all… we just reached 120,000 wishlists.

This is honestly incredible. Thank you to everyone who supported the game, played the demo, shared it, or talked about it with friends. It means a lot to us, and it is a huge boost as we get closer to launch.

We also wanted to let you know about a small change regarding the release date.

After discussing it with Steam, they suggested that we move the release to July 9 instead of the previously planned July 6.

The idea is simple: by launching just after the Steam Summer Sale, the game will have much better visibility and a stronger start, which gives it the best chance to succeed.

So we are taking that advice.

We know it means waiting a few extra days, but we truly believe it is the right move for the game.

As a thank you for your support and patience, during the first week of release, every purchase of the game will include a free Supporter Pack featuring an artbook, the soundtrack, and a small surprise.

After that first week, the Supporter Pack will still be available as a paid DLC.

Thank you again for being part of this adventure. We are almost there.

About the demo and your feedback

During the whole week, we have been reading everything. Every comment, every review, every suggestion.

Meanwhile, we worked on improving the game and fixing issues based on your feedback. Here is a short overview of what has already been improved:

• Multiplayer

• UI improvements

• Dialog improvements

• Character controller improvements

• Tutorial rework

There is still more to come, but this is already making a big difference.

What’s next

Cat Mail Co. is releasing in two weeks, on July 6 with a 15% discount.

Your demo save will be compatible with the full game, so you will be able to continue your progress without starting over.

We hope you will be ready to jump back in and finish sorting.

Once again, thank you for being part of this.

Steam Next Fest has been kind of surreal so far.

To be honest, we had no idea how Cat Mail Co. was performing compared to other games in the festival. You see the wishlists going up, but you do not really know how other games are performing.

Then we got access to a tool that compares your Steam Next Fest performance to previous editions. After entering our numbers, we realized that we are getting around 10x more wishlists per day than what we should be getting based on our starting point.

On top of that, seeing the game appear in the trending upcoming games during the festival honestly feels unreal. It feels like we are dreaming, and it is giving us a huge boost of motivation to keep pushing forward.

So first of all, thank you. Thank you to everyone who played the demo, wishlisted the game, shared it, or talked about it with friends. It means a lot more than you might think.

If you want to help us even more, sharing the game around you really makes a difference. Every wishlist helps us continue making the kind of games you want to play.

All this going crazy I am still trying to understand how all this happened. For that do you think you could write in the comment how you found about Cat Mail Co.? Are you organically coming from Steam or anywhere on the internet?

We also want to say that we have been reading everything. All your comments in the Steam discussions, all the demo reviews, every bit of feedback. It has been amazing to see.

We are taking notes on everything, even the smallest suggestions, and we will do our best to turn all of that into the best possible experience for the full release.

Back to work, and thank you again for being part of this with us. — The Maracas Studio team

Hello fellow cats and cat lovers,

First of all… thank you so much.

The support we’ve received since announcing Cat Mail Co. has been incredible. Seeing so many of you wishlist the game is honestly a bit crazy to us. We’re truly grateful to all the cat lovers out there who decided to follow the project.

To celebrate Steam Next Fest, we’re excited to share that the demo now includes multiplayer.

You can now run the post office together with your friends, up to 4 players. Sorting, stamping, organizing chaos… everything is better with more paws helping.

If you haven’t tried the demo yet, this is the perfect time. And if you already have, we’d love for you to jump back in and experience it in co-op.

Your support means everything to us, so please keep wishlisting, sharing, and talking about Cat Mail Co.. It really helps us bring the game to more players.

Thank you again for being part of this adventure.

Hello fellow cats and cat lovers,

We are excited to finally introduce Cat Mail Co., a cozy postal adventure game where you restore a forgotten post office on a quiet island, one package at a time.

You arrive at a place left in chaos after the disappearance of the former postman. Parcels are everywhere, operations are barely running, and it is up to you to bring order back while discovering the stories hidden inside the mail.

Cat Mail Co. is designed as a relaxing experience focused on sorting, weighing, stamping, labeling, and organizing parcels at your own pace. There are no timers or penalties, only a calm and satisfying gameplay loop where you can find your own rhythm.

At night, things begin to change. Some parcels reveal unusual properties under the moonlight, adding a subtle layer of mystery to your daily routine.

You can also play solo or in up to 4-player co-op, working together to keep the post office running smoothly.

Wishlist & Demo

Our Steam page is now live, and we would be very happy if you wishlist the game and follow its development.

We will also be part of Steam Next Fest from June 15 to June 22, where a demo of Cat Mail Co. will be available.

Thank you for being here with us at the beginning of this journey. We cannot wait to share more with you soon.
