Welcome to the world of Doppelgänger....


A game created by the Holostars EN team.

The story is set in an alternate universe where the player is struggling with the memories of what they know to be TEMPUS and the mysterious look-alikes who pull them every which way.

Can the player figure out the truth about this twisted world and return to the guild?


The doppelganger characters are based off of the 6 members of TEMPUS:

Demon King
Exiled Prince
Showman
Abandoned Automaton
Karasu Demon
Huntsman

They may each take the form of the Tempus members, but their personalities are twisted and their motivations are suspicious.

I love the stories but the Truth was a little disappointing

(+3)(-7)

Is it an otome or yaoi again? 🤦‍♀️

(+5)(-3)

It’s neither. It’s not a romance game.

Is it just my Mac because I keep getting an exclamation that “Doppelgänger” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." .. ? it won't open up :(

(+1)

Hi!! I use mac and have a similar issue, so putting this here for anyone else who may need help: 

It worked for me after I dragged it to my Dock bar and right clicked to open from there. Alternatively, I've seen some people just open it from Finder instead. There seems to be a general issue with itch.io games on Mac in general, so if that doesn't work, you can try and find some forums for better help perhaps

Hope that helps!! <3 <3

yeah it says on main page that it will be released on steam soon

I'm waiting for the Steam release, would be really sad if there wasn't pre-order bonus available for Steam players once the page is up

This was a really fun time. Shinri's route was my favorite. The only thing I didn't love was some of the voice bits being repeated back to back. The stories were fun but there was a lot going on that led to some awkward pacing. Nothing detrimental though. Most of the options are only the illusion of choice- which is fine considering there are no alternate endings but it makes for a bit of a confusing experience, especially in Bettel's route.

@ the manesans 

sincerely, this was so fun. great art, incredible atmosphere, some truly all-timer voice acting from the lads, the WRITING!!!! - y'all knocked it out of the park. you can tell a lot of care went into making it, and that the people who worked on it really know their way around the genre. cannot wait to see more projects like this from tempus / holo en

I recommend playing through the routes in debut order or at the very least saving Shinri/Huntsman last for Maximum Enjoyment! ALSO TAKE THOSE CONTENT WARNINGS SERIOUSLY! This is an amazing game and I hope we get a DLC for this one day! Maybe after-story Valentine's DLC?? Everybody working on this game (ESPECIALLY THE MANE-SANS) OUT-DID THEMSELVES. I hope they feel very proud of what they've made.

Very nice well done game!! The whole team is incredible <3 Each story was quite interesting and well executed despite the length of the game, it gets to the point (for more detailed lore check the profiles after finishing the game!) The voice acting was good and refreshing~ (I only wish I could hear more VA. Next time maybe) The art & character design left me stuned! As expected from very talented artists. The choice of music was on point in my opinon!

If you are okay with dark themes then is a must for tempus fans/new fans!

changed my life, amazing, gorgeous, beautiful, incredible, they COOKED HARD AF

Short, but quite enjoyable. Would really love an expansion. Maybe even an otome at some point?

Post-game review:

This was an absolute treat. The staff-san are incredible for pulling off such a high-quality production and everyone who worked on it can be proud of all they've accomplished. The art is STUNNING, the music is a perfect accompaniment, and the plot engages the player while not revealing too much at one time. It was a damn good time- and shout-out to the boys for their voice acting chops! Everyone brought so much life and personality to their characters. Flayon was in his element, Axel committed to the role, Shinri was the calm in a sea of unease, Altare knew exactly what he was doing, Hakka was clearly having a blast, and Bettel entirely popped off with his performance. It all worked together to make a compelling experience for the player, and once I started I couldn't stop until I'd finished all the routes!

From the very start, it was clear how much care went into the creation of this visual novel, and it shines all the more for that passion. It's a must-play for Tempus fans who are comfortable with dark subject matter, and it's priced incredibly well for the amount of work that went into it. (Toss in a tip if you can!) It's an audiovisual spectacle in all the best ways, so if you're a fan of the boys -- dig in!

(But mind that content disclaimer. Those are not soft guidelines, they are hard warnings. Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.)

It was a fun play. I really enjoyed the game. Thanks Manechans for the good time, it was quite a rollercoaster.

Gender: Gender neutral (They). Any gender can play.

Romance: Barely. You could take some things as romantic if you wanted to but I wouldn't call this an otome game or the likes.

Warnings: It gets gory and dark. This game was made with Halloween in mind (HallowTempus).

Play time: about 10 minutes or less for each route. I would give it about 1 hour or around there to get through the whole game.

My route order recommendation: 1-2)Exiled Prince and Showman 3)Abandoned Automaton 4)Karasu Demon 5)Demon King 6)Huntsman
