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.)
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 ?
i have problems with rais second event with the film crew i skipped the first one and now i cant play the second one do i need to do something specific for accessing it?
you will eventually get a zip file from the google drive too what i do i just download the file and right click and extract option and it's done if your winrar isn't unable to extract the file i suggest try downloading the new update from win rar website .
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 :}
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.
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 .....
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.
I would love to finish the game next year and provide very early version of my next game. But I already missed my 2023 release, so no promises until I''ll be on the final line of polishing. But you can follow the development each week/every other week!
Thank you, although I am a Chinese, I can not sponsor you through foreign channels, but I will continue to pay attention to your game! （I really like the NTR content in your game, it would be nice to have more of it. Ha ha ha!）[This is a long paragraph, which I translated with software, and I hope you can understand my appreciation of your work.]
Hi, is there a typo in the description of the closet? It says -6 energy every 6 seconds, which would be -60 energy after 60 seconds. But even if I put a girl during a whole day in there to work, they losse 30, but not 60 energy. (played 0.8.21)
So after almost unlocking all scene, the game is awesome even when I hated the gameplay at first but it's kinda addicting when you go on. Only thing I didn't like is how in some scene, sergil gets left behind too much and looks like he is being cuckhold just like in the gal couple where the guy didn't even let him join in and the last scene makes it look like cythia doesn't give a **** about him, unlike in the sport group scene where the last scene shows that cythia really cares about sergil. 8/10 for being a unique game of open relationship, just hoping my boi sergil doesn't get cuckhold too much cause he is an Alpha.
i installed the game throught the itchio app, but then was forever stuck in loading after selecting new game lol reading other comments, i guess itchio app doesnt work on this game?
i saw that i can click the option thing to download the 3 parts but it didnt seem to help, maybe you need to make it into 6 parts since each part is almost 2gb
Unfortunately the game is too big for Single File download from Itch.io, which right now has the limit of 4gb per file, so it's impossible to use Itch.io app to download SCC from what I know. You will have to do it manually from any outside link above or you can download from itch.io but in 3 files (the file endings of .7z.001, .7z.002 and .7z.003 and then repacking them) Sorry for the issue.
Hello, I wish to report a bug. My mouse wheel is no longer working in-game, so I can't change the game speed or go back to previous dialogue. The mouse wheel works outside of the game in Windows. When I start a new game, it works again. However, on my new save, the mouse wheel stopped working again on Day 8 when the first VIP arrives. Not sure if this is the same point it stopped working on the previous save game or not. If I reload the save or the game, the problem persists. I also want to say this game is brilliant, RareAlex.
Hey, thanks for letting me know about this and I'm glad you are enjoying the game <3 Could you maybe come to discord and send me your save so I can check what's the problem?
The save data (in C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Secret_Care_Cafe on Windows) isn't deleted when you delete the game or install a new version, so your saves will appear in the new version of the game.

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!!

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.
You can find location of the save files here:
MAC:
/Users/Yourusername/Library/Containers/com.raresecret.secretcarecafe/Data/Library/Containers/com.raresecret.secretcarecafe/Data/Library/Application Support/com.raresecret.secretcarecafe
or here:
/Users/Yourusername/Library/Application Support/com.raresecret.secretcarecafe
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.

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.

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
i have problems with rais second event with the film crew i skipped the first one and now i cant play the second one do i need to do something specific for accessing it?
Hey, I will look it up and fix it. If you can come over to discord and send me your save file so I can look at it. Sorry for the issue.
you will eventually get a zip file from the google drive too what i do i just download the file and right click and extract option and it's done if your winrar isn't unable to extract the file i suggest try downloading the new update from win rar website .
You should try downloading 7z, it's the best free unzipping and zipping program right now. If problem persist after that, let me know!
sill same problem 7z cant open it either i surrender xD
What exactly does it say when you download it and try to unzip it?
You can come over to discord so I can help you out faster.

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 :}

Happy New Year!!!
Thank you all! Happy New Year to you all too!
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.
How can I avoid bad ending 2…?
make sure u keep your cafe clean , and dont use the skip day too much
I can't use the shortcuts in cafe, they just don't work, anyone know why?
Check settings and maybe change your keyboard set up (and then Apply changes) to load them up.
Could we have an android version?
Because android port needs a lot of extra work, I plan to work on it near the final release of the game.
Actually that's enough,thank you!And may I know when do you want to finish this game?
probably in 2026.
I would love to finish the game next year and provide very early version of my next game. But I already missed my 2023 release, so no promises until I''ll be on the final line of polishing.
But you can follow the development each week/every other week!

Hey man it's good to know people from different countries are appreciating alex work 👍 long live alex games
Can we add Chinese or artificial intelligence translation? No one can translate, it's a painful thing
I will have people translate the game later in development.
It's really great. With a translator, this will be one of the best works I 've ever played
Hi, is there a typo in the description of the closet? It says -6 energy every 6 seconds, which would be -60 energy after 60 seconds. But even if I put a girl during a whole day in there to work, they losse 30, but not 60 energy. (played 0.8.21)
I noted this, I will have a look at it. Thanks for reporting.
You're welcome.
And thanks for your hard work on the game.
Wow awesome story! ... no, I'm just kidding. Meh
So after almost unlocking all scene, the game is awesome even when I hated the gameplay at first but it's kinda addicting when you go on.

I hope there can be hints in unlocking the scenes in the gallery to have a clear goal on what to do to get it
You are able to buy this ability for game currency.

Can anybody tell me how I can update the game without losing all my already existing progress in a previous version?

can't view the masculine woman on gallery and it shows on sergil's client tab that i already viewed it and now i can't see it again
