I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy Catto’s Post Office. It’s one of the most good-natured games I’ve played in recent memory, and even if it was over almost as soon as it started, it’s still an extremely pleasant way to pass half an hour.
Catto’s Post Office is an adorable, pun-filled, heartwarming, and sincere game, aware of how aspects that might seem small or microscopic in the grand scheme of things can still be extremely important to certain individuals, especially to a sensitive Postcat like Catto. The game made me feel as if I was watching an animated show on TVOKids, Treehouse TV, or Teletoon–sometimes your soul just needs that sort of nourishing game experience.
Catto’s Post Office is not one of those works that will live in your brain for months. At most, it will grant you a fun afternoon and a chuckle or two — and that’s all it needs to do. Its lack of substance isn’t exactly a point against it, but those who enjoy complex narratives and intricate gameplay may need to seek a different game.

Catto’s Post Office is a cute adventure that could do much more if time allowed. This game would have been a platinum for me if there was just a bit more to it. That, by no means, is me saying this game is bad. It was a really cute little break from horror and games where you need to be able to think before you can do anything. Sometimes all you need is a short game to take a breather, and this game is perfect for that. More than anything, I just want to play more of it! I’m giving Catto’s Post Office the Thumb Culture Gold Award — a game definitely worth its price point!
In Shambles Studio has my heart in shambles with this adorable August release. Catto's Post Office is a short yet devastatingly cute cosy game that captured my heart in the 42 minutes it took to complete.
If I had to sum up Catto’s Post Office in one sentence, it’s the warm mug of cocoa of gaming. You drink it quickly, it makes you smile, and it leaves you just a little cozier inside. For me, it’s worth having in my library as a “reset button” for my mood, a short, guaranteed dose of calm between heavier, more demanding games. Just go in knowing you’re buying a moment, not a marathon.
Catto's Post Office is a cute but overly simple game aimed at the very youngest players. Its bland gameplay is saved only by its reasonable price tag.

Catto’s Post Office is a delightfully cosy little game; its simple narrative and design leave players with a sense of relaxation. The short length means it’s easy to replay, and it has just enough in terms of extra content that players should have a decent amount of fun.
Catto’s Post Office is the cat’s meow. Delivering a low pressure, cozy experience curled up into a nice cat shaped ball. With its heartfelt story, adorable characters and soft gameplay it’s the perfect way to unwind. Like a cat in the sun, Catto’s Post Office leaves a lasting warmth even after you’ve finished the game.
Catto’s Post Office is a brilliant little mail delivery game developed by Brisbane-based indie devs In Shambles Studio and published by CULT Games (Go-Go Town). It’s the perfect palate cleanser between heavier games, or a sweet wind down if you’re after something short, cute, and cosy.
As much as I wanted to love this game, there’s no denying it could have done more with its charming setup. For starters, the game only gives you a few small side missions tied to the parcels. What if every delivery came with a task, like helping the florist arrange a bouquet or prepping a treat for yourself at the café? That could’ve turned this from a 40-minute filler to a cosy two- or three-hour delight.
