Hello players!

After reflection, I've decided to make Chapter 1 FREE for everyone.

If you purchased the game, please request a refund through Steam's standard process. I will contact Steam Support to help facilitate this and will do everything I can to ensure all refunds are approved.

Thank you to the 20 players who supported Chapter 1! When I started this journey, I never imagined I'd become a Steam developer. This project taught me so much.

I'm now taking a pause on THE DOUBLE to focus on a new project that's progressing much better. Chapter 1 is complete and playable as a standalone experience. I may return to this world later, but I want to be transparent about my focus shifting to new work.

Thank you to everyone who played and supported this project!

Chapter 2 is still in the works, but I already can't wait to tell you why I got myself into this game in the first place. "The Double" isn't Dostoevsky's most famous work. People often call it his first flop, actually. And that's exactly why it fits a twist-game so well. Here's the stuff that hooked me personally. It was only his second book, and it flopped right away. After "Poor Folk", D…Community21 Jul 2026Chapter 2 will be out by the end of September 2026!Hey everyone! First off, I want to say a huge thanks to everyone who played Chapter 1!

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
