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.

I really liked playing it ,got kinda sad for the ending id like a part 2 or a game in the same style at first i didnt quite took it seriously but i really got into game and played
Me ha parecido un juego precioso con una buena historia, me ha gustado mucho el juego :-)
Perdí a mi gatita en febrero de este año. Intento seguir adelante, pero ha sido difícil. Sueño con ella todos los días y lidio con sentimientos de culpa. Leer y jugar historias con temáticas de mascotas me ha ayudado mucho, así que obviamente sentí penita con el juego. Tuve que pausar el juego cuando "dawn" empezó a cuestionarse por qué Olive la había abandonado, ya que yo me pregunto si mis pequeñas en ese momento habrán pensado lo mismo. Es súper cortito el juego, fácil, de historia sencilla y acogedora, y entrega una gran lección sobre el abandono de mascotas y el desprecio a los animales callejeros que, lamentablemente, no tuvieron la misma suerte que aquellos que tienen hogar. Me gustó mucho :) Me hizo recordar al juego "My little puppy", también lo recomiendo para superar pérdidas de animales.
it made me cry
GREAT GAME! But be warned, you might bawl your eyes out.
short but nice and a little bit sad 8 ) for less then 2 coins its ok

A nice little story about a cat who learns to love again before being betrayed again. I liked the narration, the way the mentality of our character evolves, even if I think it changed too fast around the end (I won't say anything to avoid spoilers!). I saw that players were a bit surprised by Dawn's final choice, but I personally interpreted the morality in a different way, from the point of view of the animal we're playing (as much as I can, I mean :D). Controls are a bit rough and camera sometimes stutters, but I enjoyed walking around and discover little details here and there. Also loved the lights! Good luck for your next project!
Lovely game. Not complicated, and much like Stray, you play for the story. If you are a cat lover like me, recommended.
Bardzo przyjemna gierka .
