Copycat

In the heartwarming indie game Copycat, players immerse themselves in a narrative rich with emotional depth, centered around Don, a skeptical shelter cat who dreams of living freely in the wild rather than enduring another stint in a domestic setting. Believing herself to be more feral than house pet, Don is resolute in her plans to escape—until the unforeseen happens. The game’s vibrant visuals captivate players, drawing them into a world where the lines between human and animal emotions blur, and the depth of one’s soul is vividly brought to life.

Forging Bonds Amidst Life’s Trials

The turning point in Copycat arrives with Don’s reluctant encounter with Olive, a solitary elderly Australian woman grieving the loss of her furry friend. As their paths converge, an unlikely friendship forms, demonstrating the healing power of companionship. This relationship is tested when a twist of fate challenges their newfound bond: Olive’s illness and the appearance of a deceptive stray threaten to displace Don. Cast out from the only home she was warming up to, Don traverses the urban wilderness, from shadowy alleys to precarious rooftops, learning what it truly means to have a home. The game’s deliberate pacing allows players to fully engage with themes of love, loneliness, and the essence of belonging. With its rich voice acting and evocative original soundtrack by Daniel Bunting, Copycat promises a game and a profoundly moving experience, ideal for reflective gamers and cat lovers alike.
