Copycat Key Features
💛 Story from the heart: Copycat disguises itself as a simple story about a cat trying to discover where she truly belongs, but underneath lies a philosophical narrative layer that will make you pause and feel. It asks questions about our own existence and place in the world.
🌻 Animal expert as your conscience: Play as a domestic housecat while a nature documentary narrates your every move.
🐈 See the world through cat eyes: Climb trees, fight dogs, and explore the neighbourhood with intuitive, smooth cat-like controls. Make mischief, knock things on the ground, hide in boxes, run through the long grass, and meow at everything that moves.
🎮 Guided by your moral compass: Reflect on themes of home, loneliness and belonging through a complex, three-act story told effortlessly through three hours of video game narrative.
🎤 Voiced with passion: Copycat is fully voice-acted featuring hours of dialogue with a talented cast.
🎹 Music to your ears: Experience a diverse score spanning jazz, lullaby music and tribal music. Heartwarming original score composed by Daniel Bunting.
🪴 Enjoy atmospheric locations: Including the cozy family house, sunkissed backyard, creepy alleyways, and lush national parks.
🇦🇺 A touch of Australia: Made with local voices and locations under the Australian sun.
