Copycat is a game that blends ethics, aesthetics, and wonder into a touching narrative experience. The story revolves around a cat recently adopted by a shelter, who finds herself the victim of a meticulously orchestrated plan hatched by a jealous stray cat determined to steal her place in the adoptive family. With a duration of approximately three hours, the game explores complex themes tied to the concept of home and belonging, offering the player a sweet and melancholic experience. The game has already sparked interest from the critics. Gameshub described it as "a complex and moving narrative experience", while Kotaku called it "perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with your pet while playing". Indie Games Devel praised the story as "sweet and melancholic", and TechRadar predicted that "tears will flow as you sink into the story".
The demo of Copycat is already available on Steam, and the full game will be released with a 10% discount at launch. Versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox are also in development and will be released later. Copycat is a project funded by Screen Australia, which supports the local video game industry.
