Cat Hotel 24/7

Prospectus

Cat Hotel 24/7 is a cozy isometric hotel game where you are the cat manager. Tap the yellow bell to check guests in, walk over to clean rooms when the broom bubble pops up, and get paid when guests check out. Build new rooms on empty plots, hire a receptionist and a housekeeper, open a cafe, spa, pool and more, remodel the lobby in three styles, decorate rooms with new floors and wallpaper, and meet 24 different cat guests for your album. Chat with your cat guests and help the neighbors with little story requests delivered by letter.

How it plays

Tap or click the floor to walk there. Hold and drag anywhere to steer the manager, or drag quickly to move the map. Tap the yellow bell above a guest to check them in, and the broom bubble above a room to clean it. Use the menu buttons to build, hire staff and decorate. On desktop, arrow keys or WASD also move the manager. Works with mouse, touch and keyboard.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a flexible screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for simulation holdings

• Learn the loop before optimising it. Every simulation is a circle — earn, spend, expand, earn more — and the players who last are the ones who found the circle's slow point early.
• Watch one full cycle without touching anything. A simulation confesses its priorities when left alone: whatever runs out first is what the designer wants you managing.
• Small inefficiencies compound faster than big ones. A route that wastes ten seconds every cycle costs more than a disaster that happens once, so audit the routine before the dramatic.

Finished the audit, or still mid-season? The full Simulation shelf is one click away — The ledger's main hall: 302 simulations of everything from bus routes to burger counters to entire small lives. If it can be run, staffed, watered or worried over, somebody has simulated it and filed it here.
