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.

Es simplemente muy bonito el juego y la trama, triste pero conmovedora, yo tengo un gato y la historia me llegó al corazón.
Neat little game, I appreciate the message behind it! I get why the negative reviews are mad about the ending though. The gameplay is very basic and some of the story and animal behaviour and things didnt always make much sense BUT overall I enjoyed the experience, and I cried a couple times. Not worth full price

Dolcissima avventura narrativa in cui comanderemo una gatta appena adottata, il video di steam spoilera un po la prima parte del gioco, come gameplay è un po misero e sono presenti molti minigiochi con quick time event davvero semplici e ovviamente walking simulator, qualche bug e glitch grafico qua e la ,se amate gli animali e in particolare i gatti giocatelo a occhi chiusi perchè il gioco è davvero amorevole e ha una storia dolce e profonda
Un jeu aventure/RPG court qui se finit en 4H, mais particulièrement touchant. On n'a pas vraiment le temps de s'ennuyer et c'est l'ascenseur émotionnel en permanence ! Le jeu aborde des thèmes forts comme l'abandon des animaux, les difficultés des personnes âgées, etc. J'ai personnellement versé ma petite larme, car il est particulièrement bien écrit, on se met vite dans la peau du chat. Bravo à l'équipe de seulement 2 développeurs pour cette petite perle !
Molly; Unsere schnurrende Fellknäuel! Diese Spiel erinnert mich an unsere bereits verstorbene Schwarzgrau mit einem weißen Brustlätzchen und weißen Söckchen als Pfoten getigerte Norwegische Waldkatze. Eine flauschige, plüschige, schnurrende auf Pfoten herumlaufende Heizung. Wer jemals ein Haustier hatte weiß was ich meine
