Bugs, Just Cards! and…a bit about Chapter 2💬

THE DOUBLE · published 7 Apr 2026, 09:48 UTC · build 22676009

Hey everyone!

I've updated the game a little.

Thank you all for playing it and leaving so many nice comments, reporting bugs, and everything else.

Please, if you have any issues or suggestions — write to me! I really do read everything and then work through it.

1.Bug fixes and improvements:

  • The 5 rubles problem: I saw a lot of confusion about how 5 rubles appeared in the Inventory. The answer: thanks to a bug! This is now fixed — it's a small quest tied to one of the notes.

  • The card problem: I discovered to my horror that during the Blackjack+Tarot stage, it could skip you way ahead in rounds. This is also fixed: you have to win 5 times without lives, and 5 times with them!

  • Fixed (I think) the issue with temporarily disappearing objects in the Apartments

  • F12 and screenshots! Everything works now — a very annoying engine quirk that it doesn't work out of the box

  • Windowed mode can now be enabled in Settings

  • Updated some sprites and effects, added shadows under cards and stuff like that

2.Just Cards!

A standalone card mode is now active on the main screen.

The run is simple:

  • No lives

  • You need to win 33 times

  • There's a regular Tarot draft every 5th turn and on turn 32

  • It's just cards with no strings attached — people asked for this a lot

  • A general overview of active Tarot cards has been added to the Notes right away

  • Conceptually it's no different from the card game in Chapter 1

  • But I have ideas on how to greatly improve the standalone Just Cards! experience

3.A bit…about Chapter 2

Right now it's in a peculiar state: some things are being designed, while others already have finished scenes. What awaits you?

  • A scene inspired by the wonderful Reigns game series. Try to hold your ground in the world of old St. Petersburg

  • A scene at the doctor's, which will have (I hope) a very interesting mechanic

  • And of course…expanding the boundaries of the card game!

Thanks for playing,

-BadGafi

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…Community2 Aug 2026Why am I making a game based on Dostoevsky's novella "The Double"?Hey! 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! 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
