One of the most interesting trends in the indie gaming world is narrative and introspective-based experiences. It's interesting to see the liberty you can have when you're developing a game and you're not tied to huge names and budgets, as there's less weight on their shoulders, developers can allow themselves to do more personal and explorative projects. This is the case of Copycat, a game developed by Kostia Liakhov and Sam Cable, and it's a special kind of simulation game. Simulation is one of the biggest genres in the gaming industry, so standing out in this can be quite tough. So is there something in Copycat capable of making this title stand out? Well, since there's not much info about this game out there, we are here to talk about everything you need to know about Copycat, so, let's get started.

About the game

Copycat is a simulation, narrative experience in which you play the role of Dawn, and you get to experience cat life firsthand. Dawn is a spoiled cat who lives a life of comfort until she becomes the target of evil, and a pretty elaborate, plan of a jealous stray look-alike cat to steal her place at home.

After being forced to leave her own home, Dawn has to face the rough life of a stray cat, with all the obstacles included. Face the mud, garden decorations, birds, and the cold rain. Explore and wander the dark alleys, climb fences and rooftops, and try to find a place in the cold, dark world, to see how life really is from the point of view of a stray cat.

An emotional experience

Copycat is an interesting explorative experience to understand more about life and emotions, and the lessons we can learn through the eyes of a cat. These introspective journeys are the perfect experiences to enjoy on a rainy afternoon while playing on a cozy couch.

While the basics of the gameplay in this game are simulation mechanics, it is important to note that the real center of the Copycat experience is the emotional journey it represents. Similar to games like Journey, it doesn't rely on dialogues to explore an emotional and deep story. Sometimes the best a game can do to really get to the player is talking less, feel more.

Copycat is a beautiful and emotional game, it will get to you more than you'd expect. The narrative and emotional aspects of the game are definitely its strong parts. Where it isn't as strong is the technical aspect, like the visuals, though beautiful, can sometimes get a bit choppy, and the gameplay is pretty simple too.

Overall it is a beautiful experience, even though it is short, it is perfect to play it in just one sitting. It’s exactly the kind of game you’d enjoy on a rainy afternoon. It’s crazy just how emotional a story can be with so little dialogue. Sadly the gameplay part is not up to the same excellence as the narrative.

Pros:

  • Great art
  • Amazing narrative
  • Beautiful soundtrack
  • Great story

Cons:

  • Ok gameplay
  • Short
