You finally got a job in the big city. But your coworkers at this cat cafe disappear at weird times, and there’s something peculiar about your new boss, too...

You are Avery Grey, the newest employee at a popular cat cafe called A Cat’s Paw. The coffee’s good and the staff is friendly (and kinda cute!) but mysterious. One day, you find a strange book in the basement, with letters you can’t quite read...

You’ll work hard at A Cat’s Paw, but there’s still time to get to know your new coworkers! Who’s your favorite? The brusque, but devoted cook Mason? Or maybe Reese, the fashion-obsessed waiter who knows more than he says? And there’s always your strange-eyed boss, the enigmatic Graves.
