Cat Mail Co. Gains Controller Support, Mac Version, and Auto-Save

Maracas Studio has shipped a quality-of-life update for Cat Mail Co. that brings several features players had been requesting since launch, including full controller support and a dedicated Mac OS release.

What changed

New features

  • Controller support added
  • Full input rebinding now available
  • Camera zoom added to better inspect packages
  • The game now auto-saves each time a customer is served
  • An official Mac OS version is available

Quality of life

  • Option to invert X and Y axes for both mouse and gamepad
  • Sprint mode now configurable: hold, toggle, or always-on
  • A confirmation pop-up now appears before settings are reverted
  • Minor localization improvements

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug causing the black cat player character to spawn multiple times, rendering the game unplayable
  • Fixed room achievements failing to unlock on saves carried over from the demo
  • Fixed stamps visually overlapping with medium box package models
  • Fixed a painting indicator that was sometimes invisible

The studio notes that further updates are planned, making this a meaningful but not final expansion of the game's polish. For players who held off due to the absence of controller support or a Mac build, the barrier to entry has meaningfully dropped.
