After a wave of glowing Steam reviews and over 50,000 copies sold on PC, Copycat is ready to pounce onto consoles. The narrative-driven feline adventure arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 29, 2025, priced at $14.99 USD (regional pricing may vary).
Following its “Very Positive” reception from nearly 2,000 Steam reviews, Copycat is now looking to curl up on the couch with console players—and if early reactions are any indication, this stray-turned-storyteller is bound to leave a paw print on your heart.
A Short but Powerful Journey Told Through a Cat’s Eyes
Copycat isn’t your average cozy animal game. It’s a deeply emotional tale about love, identity, and the search for belonging—all experienced from the perspective of a housecat named Dawn. After being adopted from a shelter, Dawn’s life is upended when a mysterious stray cat replaces her in the household. What follows is a touching three-act journey through quiet backyards, eerie alleyways, and reflective inner thoughts.
The twist? Your every move is narrated like a nature documentary, lending the game an oddly poetic tone as you sneak, climb, explore, and meow your way through a beautifully crafted world. And as Dawn navigates the confusing question of what—and where—“home” really is, players are pulled into a surprisingly philosophical narrative beneath the surface of a simple cat tale.
