Copycat offers a unique perspective on the feline/human dynamic by portraying the story through the eyes of a cat named Dawn.
Players start by selecting the appearance of the cat, Dawn, in the context of an animal rescue center where Dawn is chosen by an elderly woman, Olive.
The game follows Dawn's journey of acceptance, bonding with Olive, facing challenges from Olive's daughter and a replica cat, and dealing with dark themes as the story progresses.
Copycat combines typical cat abilities with narrative-driven gameplay, touching on themes of belonging, loss, and acceptance in a visually contrasting environment.
