Release19 Aug 2026THE DOUBLE — Chapter 2 is now available!Hey! I'd planned to release it a bit later, but (sort of, heh) I finished it early and thought: why waste time? So, Chapter 2 is available as a DLC and with a launch discount! What's waiting for you inside? Meeting with Doctor Rutenspitz He's surprised by your arrival. He didn't expect to see you. And you, partly, didn't expect him either. He mustn't figure out that something is off with you. L…
Hey everyone! First off, I want to say a huge thanks to everyone who played Chapter 1! There are already almost 500 of you - pretty solid, by my standards! Second, I just wanted to say that I'm working on Chapter 2. I've published the store page - please add it to your Wishlist if you're interested! It'll launch by the end of September, or maybe even earlier! - BadGafi

Hello everyone! Let me tell you about the upcoming updates! About Chapter 1 Going Free On January 13th, I announced that Chapter 1 would become free-to-play, and immediately submitted a ticket to Steam Support (note: you can't simply make a paid game free through the interface).

Thank you to everyone who spent time with THE DOUBLE . Those who played, wishlisted, left feedback, or simply followed the project — it all matters. This year was strange, uneven, and sometimes unsettling. In its own way, a fitting year for this game. Thank you for being here. See you next year. -BadGafi
Hey everyone! My name is BadGafi, and today my debut game - THE DOUBLE - is now available! The game is based on a lesser-known novella by F.M. Dostoevsky and tells the story of Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin - a minor official in 18th-century Imperial Russia - in interactive form. Of course, the game doesn't replicate the book literally! As Nabokov said in his lectures: "The book is brilliant, but i…
Why The Double? This was only Dostoevsky's second novel after his sensational debut with "Poor Folk." And an instant failure: critics tore it apart, calling it dull. Dostoevsky took it hard - even in his mature years, he believed it was a brilliant work and tried to rewrite it.
