Description

⚠️ 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.

Before buying the game, I saw a few negative reviews but decided to give it a shot anyway. Now, I want to leave my honest review, which will hopefully convince you to give it a chance too. This game is specially made

Great game. A little sad, but still interesting. Graphic is very beautiful. So devastating to realize that plot of the game is so real and it happens in the world. I don't think I can play it another time. But I don't

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

I cried okay, but who didn't? The game is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. It shows the reality of many many cats out there abandoned and left all alone again and again. Sunrise's emotions felt incredibly

Short game. I actually like the story in the beginning and the twist, but it felt short and weak on the ending. The ending feels like kinda meh? Or in other words doesn't make any sense. The fact it gives you many

This game is absolutely gorgeous, the gameplay is smooth, and the difficulty was perfect in my opinion, it wasn't too hard and it wasn't too easy for me. I admit the story is kind of depressing, I genuinely cried my
