    Arty games like Copycat are two a penny, but clearly this one is one that’s had some serious effort put into it. Atmospheric and poignant, Dawn’s chronicles will tug on your heartstrings like a Spanish guitarist – and most likely make you want to hold your own cat as close as you can if you have one. Amidst the many cat games that the industry has birthed, this one is definitely one of the finer felines of the litter.

    Despite some troubled animations and controls, Copycat plays its emotional journey excellently. As a cat owner and someone who has lived somewhat similar events in recent times, its tale of love and loss hit hard, but was a journey worth taking.

    If you own or take care of a pet – or if you have kids who’d like a pet – do yourself a favor and play Copycat in one sitting. Make sure you have tissues ready.

    A passion project led by a small group of dedicated developers, Copycat delivers an emotionally driven tale about the nature of home, belonging and change. In spite of the occasional thematic misstep and limited replayability value, Copycat is both an enjoyable and reflective piece of art that's worth your time. Whether bapping gnomes off walls or wrestling with deep feelings, you'll feel moved throughout this short-but-sweet feline adventure.
