Secret Care Cafe
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Secret Care Cafe
Everyday seemed like nothing was changing. Go into your cubicle, put in numbers to the sheets, prepare presentations, hope for bonus every quarter. Only to see your manager get all the credit for your work. Was it your fate to spend the rest of your days at the same place, being just an insignificant pawn in your own life? No!
You've had enough! With the help of your loyal girlfriend Cynthia, you took a loan, left your old workplace behind and opened a Maid Cafe! Cynthia and two of her good friends become maids that will help you with everyday struggles!
What kind of cafe will you have? It's up to you!
You can be the owner of a cafe where your customers will feel at home, have pleasant conversations with the maids and drink coffee in peace, while you learn more about your maids. If you spent enough time with them, they even might develop a romantic interest in you.
Or you can go with the naughtier option for your cafe. If you buy a special items in the shop and give them to your maids, you can order them to take special care of the clients. Ask them to meet with clients after work to know them better, help them with their issues or even serve them in a sexy way. That can even provide your maids with special benefits and unlock special interactions in the cafe with said clients.
Clients coming to your cafe will ask for their preferred drinks and dishes. Your job is to stock up on the items a day before while during the day you assign to each client a maid, preferably the one they like the most, and prepare the orders, while the maids entertain the guests, making them order more than they could ever eat or drink. Getting more and more tips for you is their specialty.
After each work day it's time to prepare for the next day. You can choose to spent time with your girlfriend to deepen the relationship or you can learn more about your new colleagues. If maids gain enough information from the client, you can look through client's book to learn more about guest's preferences and special abilities. Remember to stock up on the items and if you have some cash laying around, why not buy some special items for your new friends or for the cafe?
While talking with your maids you can encounter some sweet scenes, where you learn more about them, maybe a funny event where something stupid and cliche happens. But if your maids get lewd and your relationship with them is deep enough, scenes can get more and more risky and sexy.
Instead of talking with your favorite maid, you can ask them to meet up with clients, learning more about them. But if maids are lewd enough there will be a moment during the meeting with the client where maids will ask you how far should they go with a client. It's all up to you.
Your actions and decisions have an impact.
After you'll get comfortable with basics of the game, you'll unlock new maids for your cafe and special rooms where there are new ways for you and your maids to improve and serve the clients. Keep your cafe clean and your maids rested to avoid Bad Endings.
Random events might trigger after each day of work. This makes sure you will get different experience everyday.
Game has both NSFW (not safe for work) and SFW (safe for work) mode. Thanks to that option, if you are not interested in lewd content or if you just aren't in the mood right now, you don't have to worry about it popping out on you. SFW mode has some scenes changed but most of nsfw events just doesn't show up while SFW is turned on.
Hunt for specific events to fully fill the CG gallery by encountering them during gameplay! Buy and earn new skins for your cafe and maids!
Game is updated every week on Patreon! Public releases are published at later dates.
Please consider supporting me on PATREON or SUBSCRIBESTAR. You can also visit our community on Discord and help me get rid of the bugs or be a part of a creative process for the game. There you can post your ideas for the game, events and changes! I look at all of them and consider carefully each one of your ideas!
See you soon!

You have created one of the best games on this site. Thank you.
Is there BDSM?
Good evening! I just came to say, you would be interested in getting help with english to spanish translation for your game?
Thx for reading! c:
Hey! I just made a new system for events starting that will greatly help with any translations. After I'll implement it to all events already existing, I'll post an information about needing translation help!
i bought second boss it in the store, but after that I just lost the function of skipping the day, and the boss himself did not appear and disappeared from the store, am I doing something wrong?
Hey, lately second boss is on a strike (he is bugging out on me), which version do you have right now?
0.8.46.3
is it normal that it asks me to make changes to my device?
Hey, it really shouldn't ask you that. Did you download from itch.io or from other sources? If so, which link? Also, make sure you are not trying to lunch the game as an admin.
i download it from here, first i try the Gofile link, then i download it with the 4 separate parts, but both ways tell me that microsoft defender blocked the app, if i still choose to execute it, it tells me that this app is asking to make changes to my device, the game looks really interesting but im afraid to damage my pc. thanks for the reply tho.
Is it possible to add something to the skills to add some priority to CGs you haven't unlocked yet? I've got some that have been haunting me since forever because I just can't get them to randomly pop since my skill levels are higher than the min required and it seems to prioritise higher level CGs.
Also just plain cleaning up the CGs that fire that have presumably other clients in there as placeholders when there's now specific ones for this client now - getting business woman CGs from Anastasia when you need the Anastasia ones is heartbreaking.

Anyone else encountering infinite loading screens?
Sorry for the issue. Please try downloading the whole game again after I just updated it to .3 version and wait a moment on loading screen. I'm still working more on optimizations for future.
Hey, everything should be fine, I will update the backroom tips to be more clear what you have to do, but right now I think you should just play a few more days and see the main story events.
If it still won't start, please come over to discord and send me your save file, I will check why this might be happening.
I started playing for porn (it's very good here btw), but I was surprised by the quality of SFW content. It has an interesting plot with great characters and catchy gameplay.
And I hope there will be animations of girls' skills in the future.
Love this game, good luck!
Looks like the client stacking bug is back after the last update; I've got multiple clients sitting in the leftmost seat again
And I guess unrelated, I've never had Anastasia appear as a client after the initial event, but I got what seemed like a successful post-event scene, I sorta figured Cookie would attract her but haven't managed to in quite a while now.NEVERMIND she finally turned upYeah sorry for that, the next version has already implemented bug fixes around it and I'm waiting for some feedback is this happening still. For now, nobody reported it so I hope the next build will have this fixed. In the mean time you should know that AV producers and Goth guy might be the culprit behind wrong sit positioning.
As long as you're on top of it.
I really like this game
Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying it! <3
Happy new year!
Thank you, Happy New year to you too! <3
How do i beat the second boss? i have tried everything, im on day 71 and with 8900 cafe popularity. Im just looking for information to move forward.
To progress you don't even have to beat him, you can lose too and the story will progress with that in mind.
How can I obtain an "idear"
Hey, use the backrooms, one of them gives you an idea point if you let maid stay in that room for a day.
How can the game still be so bad and unentertaining after 4 years? Unfortunately the many people who criticize the game were right, I caught up again with the updates 4 days ago and the game now that I look at it properly is really bad, a shame since I have been playing this game since 2020, and I even suppose that after so long not many people play it and it really doesn't surprise me since no one talks about the game, good luck btw. I gonna leave the game and go to others games.
Hey, thanks for checking out the game. I'm sorry if it didn't fit into your preferences. If you have suggestions you can leave it in the Discord in the Ideas channel.
Either way, thanks and I'm sure you'll find some other games that will fit you! Good luck!
Sometimes in the scenes the screen stays grey or on the loading screen. How can I fix this?
im having the same issue. have you found a way to fix it yet?
Hey, this means you downloaded 'just' an update not a full game. You can also try to download the game from different link (for example Mega instead of Google drive)
I got the event about Ame servicing a customer whom Sergil previously bumped into when she wasn't wearing underwear. The problem - I haven't recruited Ame yet.
This should be fixed, if not, let me know, sorry for the issue.
Day 44 and the rooms are still blocked, when does the 2nd boss appear? Is it a mistake?
I need help
This already should be fixed, if not, let me know.
There's porn in this amazing cafe simulator?
The animations are good, and the story is just as good as the game elements. Definitely recommend giving it a play and supporting if you have the means!
<3 thank you!
Are you able to make the download not be an app for mac Because every time I try to download it it becomes an app and my Macbook will not work with it. Please and thank you if you can.
Sorry for the issue, but you have to explain to me what exactly is the issue. You should be able just download it and play it on Mac.
Another apps work
can you check which OS you have?
there are still only two downloads for mac.
Hey, yeah, I didn't have time to upload into more places yesterday so I stuck with the previous ones. Right now I uploaded bugfixes to the builds and added 2 extra links to mac you can use.
There are only the two from before
I really love this game but after all this delay I expected a big update! What happened to adding a new maid?
Understandable, unfortunately the delay was mostly because of coding problems and life issues I have lately. Sorry for that, hopefully there won't be next delay like that.
New maid is coming!
Can you make it easier to download a Mac ?
How would you like me to make it easier? Also seperate it to 4 parts?
Could you put more options to downloaded.Cuz for me and probably others It is too complicated or won't work.
Ok, with next update I'll put 2 more options to download, from Pixeldrain and gofile.
Just wondering when the next update would be then. And thanks
43 days without updates. I can't feel my legs anymore...
Update is out
It didn't help, in fact, the update is 1 event that is not available to free users, and everything else is just recycling.
Don't worry, next one will be a nice one
Top notch.
Four years of progress and it shows. There's so much content here. Gameplay is unique as far as H-games go and does a great job of making it feel like running a cafe. The UI is a bit overwhelming at first but it's aesthetically pleasing overall. MC and the girls have their own charms and no one's been outright annoying so far. I'm a little sad the character I initially found most attractive is my least favorite archetype, but I've found more than enough comfort in the other girls.
Some feedback:
- The hotkey layout for food/drink is a bit tough to adopt. Even with all the keys mostly memorized, 7 of each food/drink extending out to U/J means the left hand can't stay on ASDF, making hotkey use fairly frustrating.
- It'd be nice to have the important stats (cash, cleanliness, maid energy%) visible on the action menu as well as in the Backrooms menu. In the latter, money is shown but despite being able to move girls around, energy and cleanliness seem to require going back and forth between Chat and Shop respectively.
- An in-game log for both dialogue and cafe events would be awesome. There's been a few times I missed a conversation detail and couldn't go back to fully understand the situation.
Overall, I'm really glad I found this gem. Looking forward to more. Please keep up the awesome work!
For some reason Ame events is not coming for me, i have takeout 5, but have 1/12 unlocks, and i am not getting any more, what to do?
Hey, can you come over to discord and print screen me exactly what do you mean, because I don't think I understand. Sorry for the issue.
figured it out myself, had forgotten to put on the pin ( or it was removed as i did it to early)
Ok, so i may be stupid, but when you finish sending messeges to a client, the book says that it is unlocked in the maid's client chat menu. Where is this menu? Do I have something else to see the scene? I'm feeling like the biggest idiot...
Hey, that's okay, game still needs a tutorial that I plan to implement as one of the last things before final releases.
Client chat menu is in the same place where you can chat with the maid, in the locker room at the end of the day menu.
korean language update plz
I'll try my best!
When is the next update??
Hey, sorry for late reply, new update will be this week.
just joined in on everything and woohooo 4th anniversary!! I was shook when I saw 4th like has it really been 4 years!? So I went to check on updates and gaaaahdamn! you guys have gone through a lot! Glad I came across your game ^^
Excited for how far we can go! yipeeeeeee
Haha thank you! Glad you like the game <3
Buddy, why not add more animation to the game during gameplay? For example, Sergil comes into glory hall and watches how the girls work. Or add a room for sex. So that the girls can serve the customers after the dance. Individual events from pictures and animations are of course good, but this is not a RenPy game, I would like more elements in the gameplay.
Hey, yup, that's something Im working on, for example when you'll use flirt or special care, it will be represented in animation during gameplay. VIP room will be also redone and have added seggs animations and a couple of more things like that.
Thanks for the reply, I look forward to similar updates in the game. Your game is unique, brother, and it is the gameplay and the netorase atmosphere that are unique. Congratulations on the 4th anniversary of the game!
can you add a way to take screenshots in game? also a window to re-read what was said before?
Hey, screenshot in game I don't think I will. Can you maybe explain to me why would you want it? You can actually already re-read what was said if you use your mouse wheel up to scroll up.
In the boss3 event, when you give a number to the men in the white jacket, then you talk to them and then agree, what happens after that? 😕
Nothing yet, there will be a series of events that I'm currently making.
What's the new event😕?
I sadly still have to mention that the Mac version still won't work with olders versions of MacOS. The last version I could use was v0.8.31.
Any new discoveries/updates on the matter?
When is the next update??
Hopefully tomorrow!
I see spaces for 6 maids, can anyone tell me how to get 5th and 6th maids?
Not available yet ☹️ I hope soon
Very Soon™
Please tell me what I can do to reduce the cleanliness level. I want to solve Ame's task, but no matter what I do, my cleanliness level cannot drop below 50%.
Send any girl to the glory hole and let her work. And make sure there is no one in the back room.
Wheres the android option at?!
