A 'scriptment' – like this one by Samantha Cable for video game Copycat – is a hybrid of a script (or screenplay) and a story treatment. It combines narrative detail with select dialogue and key scenes, showcasing the video game and its direction in a more simplified form than the master screenplay. This is the cover sheet for Draft 5, a reminder that most games evolve slowly over many drafts.

Copycat is a narrative-driven video game that follows a newly adopted shelter cat whose place in the home is usurped by a copycat, inviting players to navigate moral choices across three hours of story. Colourful visuals contrast with darker thematic undertones, highlighting the game’s blend of sensory delight and emotional depth.
