Today we archive one of the most special games of 2024 so far. Over the past few years we have actually gotten a surprising number of cat games like Stray, Cat Quest and Little Kitty, Big City. But today we have Copycat which is possibly the closest to playing a game where it actually feels like we are a cat.
Its a heartwarming story of a cat that gets adopted by an old lady named Olive. She has lost her previous cat and names us Dawn. In the beginning we are still quite scared of her and don't get along at all. But as time goes on we grow attached to Olive until one day we are thrown outside by her daughter.
Now its up to us to find our way back home and reunite with Olive.
There were a lot of times in this game where it actually made me tear up a bit and I was surprised with how emotional the story was. It deals with subjects like grief and loss, but also love and a sense of belonging.
Cat lovers will undoubtedly laugh and cry while playing this. There are also some great moments where you see that the developers truly understand cat behavior or have had experience with cats. Snuggling up in a big cardboard box or bringing birds and other animals to proudly show off to their owner.
I actually had cats that did the exact same thing and playing this reminded me of those cute, little rascals. Currently I have one cat and she is the first cat that we ever adopted and she is a Calico Cat which is why for this playthrough I decided to pick this particular one. Her name is Mochi and she can be quite a diva when it comes to what type/brand of food she gets and that also comes up in this game. It was so fun to recognize all those cat tropes and it made me cuddle up with my cat every time I was done with a session of Copycat. So if you love cats or are an animal person in general, you will definitely love this game. Its a good year to be a cat!
