This indie title in the Corror Corner genre blends simulation with puzzle elements. The goal is to identify doubles among residents who appear ordinary. The overview below adapts to audiences in Canada and the United States, outlining the core mechanics and how players approach the game’s challenges.
Fundamentals of the Mechanics of the game
The player takes the role of a building caretaker who must decide who is allowed to enter. The central loop revolves around verification, careful observation, and quick judgments under pressure. The experience emphasizes clear checks, consistent records, and careful listening as the stakes rise with each entrance.
- Documents from residents: Each tenant presents two documents—the identity card and an entry request. Verify that these details align with the owner files and the day’s roster.
- Files: In the upper-right corner of the screen is a folder containing the files for all residents. Use it to confirm information and cross-check discrepancies.
- Telephone: Call the tenant’s apartment to confirm they are at home. If someone else answers, the person may be a double, and that triggers closer scrutiny.
- Checklist: Open the daily checklist and note the presence of documents, whether appearances match, and whether the resident is listed for today.
- Emergency call: If suspicions mount, press the red button to contact the Double Detection Department for guidance and support.
How to determine a double
This section explains how to identify a possible double among residents, with practical steps and checkpoints.
If the tenant is on the list:
- Check documents: Ensure that the ID and the entry request align with the data in the file.
- Appearance: Compare the photo in the file with the tenant’s current look. Note scars, moles, and other distinguishing marks.
- A call to the apartment: If the tenant does not live alone, call a neighbor to confirm identity.
- Print: The documents must bear two seals, black and red, with the DDD logo.
If the tenant is not on the list:
- Check documents: Even if not listed, verify that the documents align with the central file data.
- A call to the apartment: Call to confirm whether the tenant is truly absent.
- Appearance: Compare the photo in the file with the tenant’s appearance.
- Print: Ensure the documents carry the correct seals.
