Cat Mail Co.
Cat Mail Co., développé sous Unity par Maracas Studios, est un titre de simulation indépendant mêlant réflexion et puzzle, prévu sur PC (Microsoft Windows) le 9 juillet 2026 au prix de 12,74 euros. Le joueur prend la direction d'un bureau de poste oublié sur une île paisible, héritant d'un ancien facteur disparu d'un chaos de colis empilés et d'un service au bord de l'effondrement. Chaque jour, le courrier arrive par bateau et le joueur doit trier et préparer les colis sortants, en les pesant pour l'affranchissement, en ajoutant étiquettes et timbres, et en signalant objets fragiles ou lourds, tout en organisant librement son espace de travail. La nuit, la lumière de la lune révèle des propriétés étranges et magiques de certains colis, et le déblayage du backlog dévoile l'histoire enfouie du bureau. De nouvelles destinations, outils et capacités se débloquent avec la progression, et une mode coopératif jusqu'à quatre joueurs permet de gérer l'établissement ensemble. La presse a salué l'atteinte d'une « greatness » dans le jeu cozy et une « absolute delight » par le concept satisfaisant du courrier, tandis que certains joueurs sur Steam apprécient l'absence de chronomètre, d'argent ou d'erreurs punitives, qualifiant l'expérience de simplement cosy et mignonne.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« If cozy gaming is what you’re after, Cat Mail Co. achieves greatness. While postal work is at the fore, Maracas Studios makes sure to add in slight complexities to keep players engaged. 200 customers in and there’s no end in sight to the soft, yet puzzling gameplay and it really doesn’t hurt that it’s also lovely to look at. »
« Cat Mail Co. is an absolute delight. The game revolves around the simple yet satisfying concept of sending and receiving mail, and it keeps things fresh by gradually introducing new mechanics throughout your day and night shifts. While a few minor issues, like the slow rollout of new locations and repetitive customer randomization, could use some tweaking, the game’s strong foundation makes it easy to overlook these flaws. At its core, Cat Mail Co. offers a cozy, engaging experience that lets you fully immerse yourself in the charming life of a mail-delivering cat. And really, what more could you ask for? »
« Cat Mail Co. is a cozy/casual game that places a strong emphasis on organization. If you lack organization, prepare to feel overwhelmed and stressed, but those with good planning and patience will find a relaxing, take-it-at-your-own-pace gameplay loop. »
« Cat Mail Co. is a good, heartfelt take on a simulator scenario that's seldom been seen in the sub-genre. Cats running a post office is charming, whimsical, and the game keeps in line with that vibe, pretty much from beginning to end. That said, it does feel like it could have used a bit more time in the oven, and it genuinely needed a few more bells and whistles to feel like a "total package" experience. More visual UI features and a reliable tutorial would go a long way in helping this otherwise incredibly cute game shine. »
« Cat Mail Co., while being entertaining for a few hours of gameplay, definitely lost its luster the more hours I sunk into it. Could this have been due to poor initial planning and organization at the early phases of the game? Maybe. But that being said, the further along you get, the harder it becomes to do any kind of overhaul of your organizational processes. Unless you enjoy throwing all the packages into one corner of the warehouse and starting from scratch. If organization and low-risk gameplay is your jam, however, then Cat Mail Co. will be right up your alley. »
