The Doppel
SteamIn the light, another you begins to chase.
Only the darkness can hide you.
Struggling with life as a novelist,
you find yourself being chased by your own self in a dream.

Shadows protect you. But nothing will change unless you step into the light.
A world rendered in pure two tones— clear yet ambiguous, unfamiliar yet nostalgic.

The Doppel is a classic short-form 2D action game.
Simple controls. Retro pixel art rendered in pure two tones. And the only enemy in the game—“The Doppel”—relentlessly traces your every move.
Experience an unstable mental world built from the bare minimum.
