Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“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.”

Launch Window“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.”
