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!

Hey there, love the game! Day 150 and having a hard time unlocking an event. It's the top row second event in "side story" under the "group" category. It says "Rai and Cookie lewdness at least 100 and let the girls handle clients alone. 50% chance".
I have done at least 10 days of all kinds of combos and not gotten it.
Cookie only on the floor, Rai only on the floor, Rai and Cookie only on the floor, and still nada. I even refused to use any of sergils abilites and make sure he's in the back rooms. I even closed my vip and glory rooms thinking maybe that was the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
I basically have everything unlocked or maxed save a couple of skills. (2 upgrades of glory left on all 4 girls, and Rai needs 2 flirts)
Hi, is there any way I can translate the game? My English is bad, I would like to get more into the game.
Hey, not yet but in a month or 2, I'll be looking into translating the game into another languages. Out of curiosity, which one is yours?
Russian, looking forward to it.
I've always been curious and wanted to ask... Since some of the rooms in the Backrooms can occupy multiple maids, can we also expect or do you have any plans for the VIP room and the Glory Hole room to occupy multiple maids as well??
Love the game so much!! Can't wait for future contents!!
Hey there, I'm glad you are enjoying the game! <3
Gh and VIP room will probably stay one maid per room, just to not overblown the scope of these rooms. GH camera animations are already bloating the size of the game a lot, hehe.
I don't understand, how do I open a secret camera?
Hey there,
When you purchase Secret Camera for gh room then during the daily gameplay on the bottom of the screen you will see a "CAM" button. Clicking it makes it appear the current view of the girls/clients in GH. Clicking "+" sign on the camera makes it even bigger.
This game is just the best, dude! It actually feels like a game and not just like a visual novel, the "art" and animations are amazing and there's already a good chunk of content done!
Insane, awesome work! Keep it up
Ha, thank you! I'm happy to hear that <3 I'll do my best to make it even better <3
Mac, Google Drive, "--- Is damaged and can't be opened"
Try downloading from Mega.
I also made some changes to MAC builds in next update (currently on Patreon, next week should be Public) and I hope this will fix it, as after I had to renew the Mac Developer Account it started to happen.
I have a problem opening the gallery screen, its always showing the loading screen, same in any dialog, what do i need to do to fix it? (its since the "0.8.30" update)
Hey, seems like you didn't download the whole game, for example just 1 part of zip file OR your update gone wrong. You should try again but downloading the game again. Let me know if this helps, if not, come over to discord, I will be able to respond quicker.
When can we get the Android version?I really need it.😭
Hey, it will come when I will be able to make one work, I will definetly post about it, so look forward!
So if there still a lot or work to build the android version , can we just take the anime of this game? I had played this game, but sometimes I want see this game's anime and the PC is definitely inconvenient.
There is a gallery uploaded by a friend on e-hentai, you can view and enjoy the cgs there, but I don't manage it.
That's ok,thank you!
First love the game. Good Job. Second once I click on the right side of the game to go to the back rooms how do I go back to the Cafe? There use to be a tab to go back and forth so that made it easer. I tried clicking the left side but it did not work. I clicked all over the place and nothing. I tried right click, left click and I'm stuck.
Hey there, I'm glad you are liking the game!
What you described seems like a bug, could you maybe come over to discord and send me your save so I can check why it doesnt appear for you while it does for me?
Sorry for the issue.
Will there be impreg?
Sorry, but not as a gameplay mechanic, more possible as a part of an ending.

Hey, yeah, I'm working on it.
There are too many files for me to know which one to download... Sorry if I'm just being stupid, but which one should I do? (I'm on a laptop if that helps.)
The first ones on the list are the last versions, it's just different hosting services.
If you want to download the free version, scroll down a bit from the download page (after clicking "No thanks, just take me to the downloads") you can find "Download and install instructions from RareAlex" where they explain the files and what they do
If you have a hard time with the segmented download make sure you are logged in otherwise you get an error
Hey there, I added download & install instructions to the main post so it would be more obvious what to do. Sorry for the issue.
Before it appeared after clicking download buttons and choosing the download link.
Wow, thank you all for the help! Again, sorry if it's a stupid question, but I live to be stupid sometimes. Cheers!!
Last Played - 0.8.28
So, after playing through most of the content, here's my thoughts on the game :
Gameplay :
Between chill and engaging, you can try to max out or just take your time. The penalty for leaving clients unsatisfied are not harsh, so it alleviate any stress if you don't tryhard.
You can min max your days, or you can be easy going, making it relaxing and engaging to play for me.
"Main" plot :
I think it's incredibly good. I was not expecting much coming in, but as I saw the characters being fleshed out, events happen, and getting to know them and the romances that happen were really satisfying.
Wholesome, cute, and sexy, it's really great. The way the characters are written makes the whole experience very cool.
Also, I like that the main character is not a blank slate. It builds a lot and is cool to see.
"NTR" plot :
First of all, I like NTR. I'm into it.
Thing is, the "main" plot is so wholesome and good, I can't bring myself to like it. While it is good, I just think the wholesomeness of the main harem plotline is too great for me to enjoy the other side of things.
I didn't play all of the story there, lost interest, but it was good too. Just not my cup of tea for this setting. Moving forward, I will only play the "main" plotline and ignore the NTR side.
I will be coming back to the game when you get some updates in, and pay full price for the game and support you when I get some income.
I am thankful for all your hard work on the game. It looks great, feels great, and is overall a really good surprise. 10/10
One question, can the game be played or executed in joyplay?
Hey there, from few things people tested, mostly it can't, but one person was able to do it.
I'll be working on android and iOS versions soon, so you should wait for those.
Is there any Yuri content in this game? Can I get the maids to play with each other?
Hey there, yes there is a bit of Yuri content, but not enough, more will be added, but yes girls can play with female clients and there are a couple of events with girls having fun alone (at least 3 that I remember from a top of my head).
How do I switch view modes in the gloryhole? I bought the second camera upgrade assuming that now I can zoom in even closer, but I don't see that option anywhere.
Also, how do I unlock the gloryhole scenes in the gallery? I have already gotten the actions during the day but the gallery portion is still locked.
Okay upon further playing around with it, for some reason it only doesn't work for cynthia, but works for everyone else. Is this a known issue?
Nevermind, I figured the gallery out; you have to finish with a client before unlocking it.
Still, I can't zoom in a second time during gameplay (after buying the second camera upgrade), is this intended?
Hey, I don't exactly understand what doesn't work for you. If you maxed out the camera upgrade, during the main cafe gameplay you should get on the bottom screen 'Cam' button which you can scroll up on the screen if clicked and then zoom on it clicking the + sign on the view.
If there is still something that looks like a bug, please come over to discord and send me a screenshot, I will check it out and try to either fix it or explain.
Sorry for any issue.
Sergil gets next to nothing in this updates. Awful game
How do I get the patreon valentines day item? Do I just need to subscribe to any tier for the patreon? It doesn't say in any of the descriptions
To get access to it you need to download Patreon version of the game from Patreon or Subsribestar, the second tier gives you access to it.
Is there a way to find my save file on Mac? Also, what does "??? decreased by 1" mean? I'll probably find out later but I'd rather know what it means now.

Regarding ???, sorry but I'm not spoiling anything.a lovely minor improvement could be to have a small number under items to see how much i left
Ok, I will look into it and try to add something like that. Thanks for proposition.
Great game, great content.
Lacks a little bit of clarity on how much stuff I have yet to do/unlock, but overall it's a great game.
you can check gallery you will see lot of boxes there everytime you encounter an event one box gets filled up eventually for everything to open it will take you 500 in game days..
Great game for sure. And I have a question. Since I'' ve checked the changelog and found new update adding some early events. So I'm wondering if it's possible to trigger these events using the existed saving file or it has to be triggered by starting the new game? Btw, the order of a few events seems to be incorrect. So maybe you could fix it after you finish the whole work :)
Hey, you don't have to start new game to see the new events (even if they are early). I code them in such a way that every person who has stats above the certain level can see these events, so don't worry about it. The cost is some events being in incorrect order for your save, but correct order for new game.
If some other events are in incorrect order, let me know which (come over to bug reports on discord) and I will try to fix it. Thank for playing!
If I'm reading the description correctly, can I pick and choose which maids get nsfw and which stay sfw or is it all or nothing? For example, if one of the later maids I get catches my interest and I want her to not do anything nsfw, can I just not let her and romance her myself?
Yes, you can control each maid's lewdness towards you and clients. You can set up so one girl will be into sharing while other will be only for you. You can even tell her to stop after you will see some sharing already or after all you will want to share this maid. I plan to have it all represented in some way in the final endings.
You have to give each character specific item (triangle pin) to tell them you are okay with sharing them. There are also events where you have to give your permission for sharing (simple yes or no).
hope it helps
It's very hard to read English for me ,so could you please to tell me how to get more cash in this game?
Different clients have different favorite maids. They pay if they are being served by their favorite maid. Use skills (on the left) to increase money gain. Clients also have skills, but to find out what they do you have to unlock the skill Give Number and give it to clients a few times.
What language do you speak? I will translate the game to other languages.
Thanks for your answer,now I can play this more comfortable.
And also thanks for your kindness,my language is Chinese,if you could make a Chinese version(even translate by AI is can be accepted),we will very thank for that.
The last,in my opinion,many of us may like to use PE to play the adult game(especially our Chinese).If we can get an android version,it may make your game get more focus and get a widely spread.
God bless you,bro.
How long would say this game takes to unlock most of the scenes?
10 hours around 500 in game days
Why is downloading directly from here 1 GB but from Mega, it's 5 GB?
Hey, depends what you are downloading.
1GB is either one part of the 4 part download or just update alone from previous version to the new one.
5GB is the whole game
Ah, that makes a lot of sense, don't know why I didn't think of that before
hi, will it never come out for Android?
Yes, but much later, it needs a lot of extra work to work. Didn't have time yet to sit down to it.
I have a Question about the Auto Buy Option does it for example buy 20 coffee when i say 20 coffe or did it buy up to the amount ? so for example if i still have 5 left is it buying only 15 ?
Hey, yes, it's buying UP to this amount.
Hello there,
How do I do the update properly? Should I just copy all the files into the game folder and overwrite them?
no need to do copy or anything just download and extract your saves will be there in the newer version .
I can't assign Ame to the glory hole even though I have bought her glory hole skill. I am able to assign the other girls.
Nevermind. Apparently she had taken her triangle pin off. I didn't realise she could do that.
lol raise her lewdness first then try to give triangle pin to her

Hey I can't place the girls inside the VIP and the Glory Hole rooms.
What are the prerequisites for that?
Help greatly appreciated!
first you need to buy the backrooms and the on the game when you play on the top left corner about the skills area there is a sign click on it and you will see option open glory hole and vip room .. you can close or open the vip and glory holes from there .. plus if you have the backrooms bought already go to the item shop buy triangle pin and give the triangle pin to the maids and they are ready to service to the customers you know what i mean by that :}

When will it have or will it have an Android version?
probably in 2026 currently only pc support and the game story isn't finished.
So, I just found out that Anastasia was a thing. If you don't find her in the phone, is she permanently inaccessible?
yes you have to find her in cookie drinking event otherwise you wont be able to access her as boss or as a client a tip after you find her make sure to save the game or if you couldn't get a perfect score you won't be able to have her as a boss again.
Ah, dangit, I had no idea there was missable stuff and I've spent way too long on the current save file to go back now. Thanks for letting me know. :)
Is anyone else having trouble getting past the loading screen? i have tried reinstalling the game and that didnt help any. also tried the other 4 download options and they all come up as an error code. spent 10 minutes on the loading screen after hitting new game and got nowhere
your savior is here xd i suggest download the game through mega or google drive since downloading the three files seperately wont do shit since we aint no coders like alex xd download the whole update through mega or google drive .....
theres no way this is only a few minutes
few minutes what do you mean ?
in more info Average session it says few minutes
Well, one in-game day (between possible saves) can be just a couple of minutes. I didn't want to scare people with hours of 'average session' as developers put info there manually.
