Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.43/day in the week to Aug 7 → 8.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
⚠️ Copycat touches on sensitive topics such as family trauma, abandonment, and other emotional complexities. If you are going through difficult times, remember that you are not alone. Seek support from friends, family, or a professional. Take care of yourself and play at your own pace.
Copycat is a narrative-driven indie game about a pet who learns to deal with abandonment, and a human forced to surrender. Together, two souls go on a journey to discover the meaning of family and home. The game's colourful visuals delight the senses while exploring dark thematic depths. Journey on an emotional rollercoaster that pulls at the heartstrings and reminds you how it feels to be left behind. 🐾
We follow the tale of Dawn, a sceptical shelter cat who would much rather be in the wild than be readopted again. Dawn actually believes she is a wild cat. And plans on escaping as soon as she gets the chance.
Dawn has second thoughts when she meets new owner Olive, a lonely older Aussie mourning the disappearance of her beloved furry companion. Together Dawn and Olive develop an intimate friendship, as two broken hearts mend one another and learn to beat as one. ❤️
Everything changes when Olive falls ill, and a stray copycat steals Dawn’s place in the home—forcing Dawn onto the streets.
Wander alleyways, fences and rooftops as you learn about the true meaning of home. The reflective pacing of the game allows you the opportunity to indulge in the emotions of love, loneliness and letting go as you progress throughout the story.
Copycat is fully voice acted, featuring hours of dialogue and a talented voice cast. Original music score by Daniel Bunting.

Okay a straight up answer: I finished the demo and the full game and i just wasted 3 hours and 42 minutes of my life. Its a horrible game and the message makes truly no sense, first of all yes, i feel bad for writing a bad review on a 2 dev game - they tried their best but this really was horrible. First - the story: The story of this game follows a old lady named Olive who decides to get a cat from the shelter named Dawn. Dawn looks exactly like her old cat, and has the same name - Creepy? I KNOW!! Now, we play as "Dawn" or the replacement dawn - and we live with Olive, keep in mind IRL i have a kitten so what im saying is accurate both in my opinion and for taking care of a cat, anyways, at first like any cat would we are scared and we scratch at Olive and then we trust her, by the end of the game the message is "Home is not where you are loved, it is where you are needed most" which isnt that like love? I didnt understand that one bit. Then slowly when we trust her one day we escape and get out of the collar she provides us - only to be met with another cat who looks exactly like us (The original dawn) to get thought she is us and get taken in by olive, olive gives her our collar and names her dawn obviously thinking its dawn and leaves us to starve. Now - The charectors Mae: She is straight up 🤡 for trying to k*ll her mother with the pillow, she also dosent care about us when she knows that her mother (olive) has a cat (us) so when olive gets super sick and the ambulence takes her she says "leave the cat" and never comes to check on us, later when she brings olive home she KICKS US OUT WITHOUT TELLING OLIVE because we were hungry *she didnt feed us or care for us while olive wasnt here like i said* and we ripped open the bag of food and ate it. She also says we dont belong here. Olive: Shes a whole different story. She is a old lady who is super super sick and has lost a cat who looks exactly like us named dawn, she goes to the shelter and adopts us and names us dawn. Keep in mind she has 1 toy we cant play with by ourselves and has 0 scratching posts - yet kicks us for sharpening our claws on the sofa - then immedietely says sorry? Then she gives us her story of dawn and says we are all she has left. Which is fake because then she goes ahead and thinks we are original dawn, she also is a very irresponsible owner even if she is sick, she leaves pills out on the floor which she knows about, she leaves food everywhere including the bathroom, the paints are all open and she dosent care about anything Mae says about not being able to care for a pet and even has the audacity to get mad at us for knocking over her things when shes the one leaving us home alone with everything scattered everywhere? Also she made us feel like we were safe had a home she signed a contract saying she would always keep us and then when she wants to keep original dawn she leaves us in the forest saying we will be safe there when there are atleast bears out there? If not dogs. I feel bad and would like to know how the devs games are treated. No cat - or animal - deserves this treatment. Us (replacement dawn): We are just super inoccent here and we did nothing wrong, olive decides to adopt us and then we trust her slowly and she makes us feel special, loved, happy then she magically leaves us in the forest and says we are safer here. HOW ARE WE SAFE AS A CAT IN THE FOREST LADY?! Dawn (original dawn): Such a brat for taking our spot. But again its not her fault olive decides to mistreat and neglect her animals Nature expert (narrorater): Hes also innocent, the first few minutes of the game i wanted to punch him in the face but then i slowly started liking him. Hes educatinal but still can be actually true like when he gets mad at olive near the end Neighbors: They just do nothing. They all are super rude to us for no reason except this one kid who gave us food near the end and likes us and wants us to live with him but his mom decided not to let him have a third cat and says we have rabies. Bad excuse. The message: It makes no fridging sense. "Home is not where you are loved, its where you are needed most" that is what love is, its confusing as heck and makes no sense at the same time. Messages are supposed to change your life and motivate you but this one does nothing Overall rating: -♾️ / 10 Its horrible and not worth any money. I feel super bad because i know there are 2 devs and they are making this game and it was their first and they tried their best but they asked me for a review and i gave my honest rating i was NOT payed to write this this is my opinion i dont like this game, i feel bad for the devs cats and i would like to know if they are okay. This game supports abuse and neglect by giving the message that its okay and you should always go back to your abuser and neglecter i hate this game honestly now ill go ahead and leave and play with my schielch

An ok games with a nice (but sad) story about making responsible pet choices. The beginning of the story involves a old lady picking out a cat from a shelter. You play the cat who wants to believe it's a large cat who can survive anything. After time passes the cat forms a bond with the old lady when it becomes apparent her health is getting worse. Then one day, the old lady doesn't wake up and ends up being hospitalized. The old lady and her daughter come home and the daughter ends up kicking the cat outside, telling the cat to leave her mother alone. The old lady gets upset and starts to look for the cat. She runs outside and finds a cat who looks exactly like you and takes it in. You realize you were taken in to replace her previous cat who went missing. You try to win her back but she rejects you to the point she dumps you off in the middle of nowhere. You then go on trying to survive and get back home. The game is pretty short, about 3 hours. The choices in the game doesn't seem to matter, the outcome will be the same. They have mini games but they are pretty repetitive. Press the buttons before the timer runs out. If you can't then eventually they take the timer off, hit the button at right time. run and dodge obstacles, and there's one stealth mission where you make sure dogs don't see you. They also have these playable cutscenes where the cat dreams it's a big cat chasing rabbits in the savannah. The further in the game you get the darker the dreams are. At one point in the game (this can be pretty dark) your cat sits in the middle of the road waiting for a car to hit it. I let the timer run out and it led to a cutscene where it shows different scenarios where adopting a cat isn't the best idea. Between the mini games, the cutscenes, there's an annoying "wildlife expert" who seems to narrate the game. He's supposed to be some comic relief but he can be a little too talkative. Pros: Good story that makes you think about the well-being of a pet instead of adopting for your own selfish choices. No glitches that I found. If you new or not that great with games or maybe just want a tear jerker storyline then this would be a game for you. Cons: Story can be a bit dark, The game is a bit short. Game play is repetitive. The wildlife expert is a bit annoying. Would I recommend the game? Yes, just because of the story as a cautionary tale. If you are looking at this game for quality gameplay then no. Keep in mind this was made with a very small developer team.
i looooveeee itttt <3
100% Achievement Review: Copycat Time to Complete: If you focus on the achievements along the way, you can finish all of the achievements in around 4 hours. Gameplay: It's a very simple game where you follow a story while playing as a cat, but where this game shines is by bringing up topics that most people avoid, such as abandoning your pet. While it's a short game, it tries its best to bring attention to these topics. Achievements: The game has 21 achievements. They are all very easy to get, and around half of them come from simply following the story. Replayability: Being completely honest, you'll only get 1-2 playthroughs out of this game before you've seen everything. Keep in mind, though, it was made by a very small development team. Issues: Thankfully, I had no issues with the game at all. Final Thoughts: For such a small development team, I think it's a great game that tries to touch on topics that aren't often brought up. Personally, I wish the story was laid out a little better and that more topics were covered, i would even say encouraging desexing, regular vet check ups, and not supporting shady or unregistered breeders, but that's just me. If it matters, I chose to stay at the end, not because I thought Olive deserved it, but because of Dawn. She went through almost everything we had, and in the end she still welcomed us into her family despite everything that happened. Dawn was worth staying for. I hope this review helps anyone who is considering buying the game or aiming to complete all the achievements.
Sehr niedliches Spiel mit ernsten Themen. Klare Empfehlung.
schönes Spiel für zwischendurch. hat mich etwas zum Nachdenken gebracht.
This is the best story game ive ever played :D
剧情有严肃的思考，除去这个，放轻松，在游戏里安心当一只猫猫，尽情喵喵喵吧
Copycat is a really fun game, I saw no issues with it and I would recommend the game if you like a short story about a cat.
made me cry three times, so good.
