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.

Me ha parecido un juego precioso con una buena historia, me ha gustado mucho el juego :-)
really love this game.
Beautiful story and message, really hit home and my cat loved watching me play haha :3
absolute garbage
It's an original take on story telling. The human story was a little dark at times, even the poor cat's issues weren't great. I kind of hoped for more domestic cat entertainment, like crawling under cars, chasing leaves, more friendlier interactions with peple and things, you know other dumb stuff but the serious nature of the game kind of felt like it stole the colour from the world. Don't get me wrong, there are fun things to do from time to time. It's a short game that guides you throughout. I hope the makers remake it one day with a twist on the story to make it a more vibrant world.
Superbe jeu qui vaut le détour. J'ai vraiment adoré y jouer. L'histoire est très touchante et tellement pleine de réalité ... Attention si vous êtes très émotif (j'ai pleuré à plusieurs reprises), néanmoins il mérite réellement qu'on y joue, il vaut le coup c'est indéniable.
Amazing game. Very heartbreaking and a lovely story. Adopt don't shop.
Such an amazing and tear jerking game. A real roller coaster of emotions that puts you in the shoes of a cat who was abandoned and has to tackle with the heavy emotional burden of accepting the situation and adapting to it. As a cat lover with previous abandonment issues, this game really spoke to me and the ending was satisfying. Great work!!
short but nice and a little bit sad 8 ) for less then 2 coins its ok
GREAT GAME! But be warned, you might bawl your eyes out.
