Hi Kittens,
Merry Christmas ❤️
Almost every day this year, we have worked on Copycat. At the time, it felt like we were only making small steps. But reflecting on a year's work, these steps have walked a marathon. Cheers 2023. Thanks for introducing us to some wonderful people in the Sydney and Melbourne gaming communities. We are very grateful. Here's what we have done in last 12 months:
A big thanks to Neverland Entertainment for taking Copycat to China's WePlay Expo 2023! So exciting so see cat lovers all over the world enjoying our little game.
It's always so exciting to receive press for Copycat. But it is extra special when a journalist connects with the true meaning behind the story. They read between the lines to uncover hidden metaphors. They dive into the unknown and resurface with a sophisticated vulnerability. Francesco Mastrodicasa from @indie_games_devel has done just that.
Here's some of our favourite quotes from Francesco's article.
🐾 "Cat enthusiasts, feline lovers, and friends of the four-legged world, allow us to introduce you to Copycat, a captivating and melancholic “four-pawed” video game."
🐈 "In Copycat, we embark on an introspective and reflective journey, prompting us to reflect on our actions, to pause and indulge in the emotions of love, loneliness, and letting go. The emphasis will be on the concept of sensitivity rather than morality."
💛 "...delightful and poignant storyline, plot twists, deep introspection, and numerous moral dilemmas that will question every choice you make."

Finally, we are coming for you Steam Next Fest February!
Keep your eyes opens.
Big Smiles,
Sam & Kostia
