I’m always on the hunt for a comforting, heart-warming gaming experience, especially after any stressful work day or week. So, when I found the demo of Copycat, which its Steam page describes as a “wholesome narrative-driven game” I was overjoyed. However, despite the story's initial appearance as sweet and cute, Copycat quickly entwines its narrative with harrowing themes, making it far from the wholesome experience I was searching for.
In actuality, Copycat is a heart-breaking narrative-driven game that uses the relationships you develop at the beginning against you. When rejection starts to become one of the most prominent themes this game becomes far from its wholesome descriptor and no longer matches that initial tag.
