Hey there everyone,
The entire Critter Café team is so excited to be a part of Steam Next Fest, and to be rolling out a demo for our game, available from October 14!
This is your first chance to get an early taste of our cosy fantastical world, launching for Steam and Nintendo Switch on November 26. Whilst running and renovating your own café and serving treats to your guests, rescue Critters from mysterious puzzle-filled portals, and build bonds with your Critters to help make your café extra special.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN THE CRITTER CAFÉ DEMO?
The demo will include the first slice of the Critter Café experience, starting from the very beginning of the game. You’ll be able to play through the first handful of ‘days’ in the game, introducing you to key features and characters.
You’ll have a chance to run your café for the first time, serving customers and fulfilling their orders via fun minigames. Also, you’ll be able to customise the look and layout of your café – from the furniture, to the wallpaper, to Critter toys – with an early set of unlocked items.
Away from the café, you will have the chance to find and rescue your first two Critters. Rescuing them will require solving puzzles, which sometimes require tools to solve. You’ll get the first of those items during the demo.
Once rescued, you’ll have the chance to build a bond with your Critters, discover potential traits that influence their behaviour, and even have them in your café, setting up bookings for guests to meet them. There are more features and mysteries in the demo, but we’ll leave those for you to discover!

Please keep in mind that the demo is a work-in-progress snippet of the game, meaning some aspects may be incomplete, or you may bump into an issue or two. Chat with our team on Discord, or in the Steam Community area, if you experience anything you’d like to report, as we continue finalising the full game for launch on November 26.
We’d really appreciate if you could Wishlist Critter Café. Doing so will also make sure you’re notified when the Steam Demo is available! Thank you, and please enjoy the Critter Café demo during Next Fest. Our team can’t wait for you to play 😊
