Hello kittens,
Copycat is coming out in almost a week's time! We are so awfully excited. You can adopt Copycat on September 19th (US/EU) and September 20th (AUS/NZ). Who's jumping in to experience Copycat's 3-hour long emotionally moving story on Day 1?
💛 Today we are excited to reveal our official launch price! Copycat will be available on PC for USD $14.99 (regional prices will vary) with a 10% Steam launch discount.
Copycat’s delightful soundtrack is also available for USD $3.99. Our composer Daniel Bunting had this to say about the music:
"The expansive and lushly cinematic score of "Copycat" gives voice to our non-verbal (but profusely meowing) protagonist. It sings cuddly lullabies, vulnerable kalimbas, and fiercely independent jazz escapades, yet its raw and primal energy speaks loudest of all.
Initially, the score is comedic and stylized, with thunderous tribal percussion accompanying battles against butterflies and pan-fried steak. However, as the stakes escalate and the conflict turns real and existential, the score continues to reflect the philosophical narrative on a primal and emotional level.
It's rare to juxtapose a philosophical narrative with a primal score—just as rare as delving into the mind of a cat."
Here is what early reviewers had to say about Copycat:
“I didn't know real heartbreak until I played Copycat.”
Kara Phillips / TechRadar
“A deeply personal exploration of the human experience of belonging, shown through the eyes of a cat.”
Christie McQualter / Gameshub
“Do you want a story that will stick in your brain the way a novel would? Do you want a game that will make you feel both heartbroken but also emphatically happy? Do you want a short experience that you’ll want to talk to others about? If yes to any of those, then I cannot recommend Copycat enough.”
- Alan Jones / Gameornought
“With a narrative that explores themes such as loneliness, the sense of belonging, and the fragile beauty of the bond between humans and animals, Copycat promises to deliver a story that is as simple as it is profound.”
- Lorenzo Agonigi / Kotaworld.it
“Perfect for cuddling on the couch with your pet while you play.”
David Smith / Kotaku Australia
