March 2025

At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about Copycat. The choices presented seemed unusual, even unsettling, but as I progressed, I realized why they were designed that way. The game isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about experiencing a perspective many people never consider. There has been a wave of negative reviews for Copycat, and honestly, I don’t understand why. The game replicates real-life situations that happen every day, forcing players to confront issues they might otherwise ignore. It sheds light on an important topic, making it clear why certain practices should be stopped. As a cat owner, I found myself deeply affected. After finishing the game, I had to take some time to be with my own cat, reflecting on what they might truly be thinking. It’s a rare thing for a game to make you reconsider the world around you, and Copycat does just that. If you’re looking for a game that challenges your perspective and leaves a lasting impact, Copycat is worth playing. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s important.

I was never so damn angry and sad at the same time about a game. Mostly I was irritated though. I did not enjoy it, and I doubt any animal lover will. Don't expect too much; it's a short and interactive story. Still profound with a great message, but I fear it won't reach the right people. Thank you for hurting my feelings.

What an odd game. It's the story about an old selfish woman who cares more about what animals can do for her than what happens to the animals themselves, her even worse daughter, and some cat lives they affect along the way. The game acts as if it is portraying a message, and yet the message makes absolutely no sense at all. You could even say that the ending message was unethical, if taken to heart. The sheer oddness of the twisted message makes it worth taking part in in some way. Playing this game and experiencing what it's trying to say feels kind of the same as if you were playing a game about social cues that was written by someone autistic. For some people, the message is going to make them upset and it will make them down vote the game, and that is understandable. But the enjoyment of getting to play the cat still made it fun for me overall, and the backwards convoluted message is something quite different to experience.

Sept. 2024

Reading some of the comments, especially the negative ones, I'd just say: Yes, the game is "short" (2.5 - 3 hours)... and yes, the game is not for everyone. Probably if you never have had cats, it just might not be for you as I can imagine the emotional parts do not kick off too much. And that is what the game is about, the journey and the feelings, not the "gameplay". As the description, the trailers and the "emotional" tag was not "warning" enough for some, here again: It is NOT a light hearted cute cuddly story about a cat. If you're still unsure, play the demo, it will give you an idea of the game's tone and the direction. Then decide if you want to follow the storyline and buy the game or stop right there. It might save you from wrong expectations.

Sept. 2024

Oh my heart. This game made me tear up several times. It touched so many aspects of my life I’ve struggled with or am struggling with. I was adopted and was bullied a lot growing up, and I never “fit in”. My mom is also currently dying from pancreatic cancer, and that sense of abandonment has been strong lately. What an incredible game. 10/10 would recommend.
