Copycat

Copycat is an emotional walking simulator about a shelter cat's journey after being adopted by a lonely old woman. This game is excessively depressing. The heartbreaking scenes are done beautifully, shown through the eyes of an ignorant and well-meaning cat, and while I love tragic stories, this one didn't mean anything. The characters are cartoonishly evil, and there's no happy ending or bitter message to justify everything the main character endures. The theme of home being "where you're needed most" is ignorant of the abuse the game showcases and seems to suggest animals are duty-bound to those who hurt them. The ending left me feeling disgusted and angry, and while I enjoyed the game and was excited for a profound message against animal abuse or about loving your pets, its self-sabotaging final scene made this game feel like a waste of time. I want to support an indie dev team, especially one that donates to animal shelters, but unfortunately, the story of this narrative-driven game is misguided and harmful, and I can't recommend it.

Das war wirklich schön, es war sehr emotional und hat mich sehr berührt. Danke für diese schöne Reise :) Leider sehr kurz würde es im Sale empfehlen

A game with an unexpected plot. I must say i bought it to play with my niece, and that's exactly what i did. The story is a bit surprising, not because of the technical difficulties, but rather because of the narrative. Themes of abandonment and empathy between humans and animals predominate, but important and crucial themes such as family and mutual respect also emerge, in a world increasingly immersed in frenzy and the most insipid daily routine, far from the aspects that characterize human relationships and which should always be the center of our attention, but which in reality are becoming increasingly secondary and of lesser importance. Regarding the game's construction, it's perhaps a bit short, demanding in some graphical areas—maybe graphic optimization?—and repetitive in some parts. Otherwise, it's enjoyable and fairly smooth, even though i played it with a keyboard and mouse (mousepad recommended according to the specs).

10 out of 10 Game. I spent most of the time crying tho.

DO NOT buy this game. I wish someone had told me this. This game is just awful.

Should've used that pillow.

Really wanted to enjoy the game after all of the positive hype it had received, but ** SPOILER WARNING ** This game just wound me up! It was a very slow, drawn out story, which could have been told in an hour if the fluff was cut out. Shortening the story, still would not have made it better as there wasn't a lot to like about the characters or the plot imo. The characters were vile animal abusers with no redeeming features, and you play as an absolute doormat of a cat who idolizes a horrible old woman who dumps you and leaves you for dead. Plot holes and unexplained threads, like what had Mae read to make her want to smother her own mother with a pillow? The only way I see this educating people is by using it as an example of how NOT to treat animals. Longest 3.5 hours of my life!
