Copycat: A copycat of Stray?
21Copycat is an indie game developed by Spoonful of Wonder, set to release on September 19, 2024. This adventure game tells a story through the eyes of a shelter cat named Dawn, exploring themes like rejection, belonging, and the meaning of home.
In the game, players follow Dawn, a cautious cat who prefers living in the wild rather than being adopted. Things change when she meets Olive, an older woman who is grieving the loss of her former pet. Over time, Dawn and Olive form a strong bond. However, their peace is interrupted when a stray cat, known as the "copycat," enters their lives, pushing Dawn back onto the streets.
Reviews of "Copycat" have been positive, with *IndieGames* praising the game’s visuals, aesthetics, and storyline. They did mention, though, that the gameplay could be more engaging. Despite this, the emotional depth of the game was seen as one of its key strengths.
*TechRadar* noted that while the game may seem wholesome at first, it soon dives into deeper, more emotional themes, making it a powerful journey for players.
*iTWire* described the game as a piece of art, with an engaging story and charming Australian voices. While they acknowledged that it may not appeal to those seeking an open-world cat simulator, they appreciated it for its strong narrative.
*IndieGamesDevel* shared their hands-on experience, describing the game as sweet, thrilling, and deeply moving. Despite some limitations in gameplay, they were impressed by the storytelling and the emotional impact it delivers.
