Such a sweet game! Would definitely recommend it! I love being a cat. Even though i caused as much chaos as possible being a cat :D1 found this helpful
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.
GREAT GAME! But be warned, you might bawl your eyes out.
Definitely emotional, but a very great game with an important message behind it.
Copycat offers an interesting idea that caught my attention right away, so I decided to give it a try and wasn't disappointed. The game follows a touching story that mixes funny moments with a few sad ones. I felt for the main character the whole way through and got pulled into their journey. Walking (and occasionally running) through the neighborhood and dream sequences is engaging, with beautiful artwork that makes the whole game feel warm and alive. Controls are easy enough to get used to, though some scenes ask for quicker button presses than I am used to. The game notices if you’re struggling and adjusts the timing nicely, so there’s no way to actually fail those parts. The game can be completed in one sitting; it took me about three hours. There are several achievements to go for, most of them coming naturally from exploring and interacting with things, while a few require decent timing on the mini-game sections. Since the game is short, going back for missed achievements isn’t a chore at all or you can just use the chapter select to get where you need to go. Copycat is a charming little narrative game with heart and some really nice visuals. It’s a great pick if you…
Amazing game. Very heartbreaking and a lovely story. Adopt don't shop.
