History VisualNovel / DoubleCast

A short time later, the Film Club decides to film a movie called "The Enclosed Room", based off a script written ten years ago that was attempted to be filmed, but ended in tragedy and was surrounded by mysterious circumstances. As a result, the club director, Haruka, requests that they need to find a lead actress who is not connected to the school. The protagonist then asks Mitsuki to do it, and she accepts. However, although filming goes well, Mitsuki appears to be stalked by someone, and several incidents occur around the protagonist that make it seem like someone is after his life...

* TheAtoner- [[spoiler:Futamura, who felt guilty about (accidentally) causing the deaths of the main actress and the director of the "Enclosed Room", and thus went to the protagonist's college just so he could join the film club and finish the movie.]]

* RedHerring- [[spoiler:The game throws several hints that makes it seem like Mitsuki's past is connected to the "Enclosed Room" script and failed shooting that occured ten years ago. As it turns out, it's actually ''Futamura'' who has the deepest connection to it, while Mitsuki has none.]]

* ScaryShinyGlasses- Futamura [[spoiler:in Bad Ending #10, when he reveals that he was the one who arranged for the remake of the "Enclosed Room" and caused the deaths of the last crew.]]

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy- [[spoiler:Haruka has feelings for the protagonist, but lets them go because of his relationship with Mitsuki. However, when she realizes that the protagonist's life is in danger as long as Mitsuki is living with him, she arranges it so that Mitsuki lives with her in order to keep the protagonist safe. Fortunately for her, [[BetaCouple there's still a chance for her in Futamura, who has feelings for her (and confesses them in the best version of Good Ending 1).]]

* VisualPun: [[spoiler:In the climax, when the protagonist runs up the roof to confront Mitsuki. When he does, there are three round lights surrounding her- two spotlights (which look like moons) and the moon itself, in other words, three moons. In Japanese, one way the name "Mitsuki" can be read is "three moon".]]

* [[spoiler:IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Played straight and subverted. The protagonist attempts to do this in his final battle with "Mitsuki" as he tries to awaken her Shiho personality again. However, this is subverted in two ways- not only does it fail, but the protagonist had also expected that had failed, and thus prepared a Plan B- jumping off the roof of the school with "Mitsuki" (onto a stunt mat) in an attempt to shock her Shiho personality awake. Whether this suceeds or not depends on your choices up until then, and leads to several endings.]]

* [[spoiler:TheSouthpaw- "Mitsuki". The clearest sign there is that the "Mitsuki" personality is awake is when she's using her left hand. It's this aspect of hers that first clues the protagonist in that something's not right with her.]]

The "Summer" title of the four original [[{{Playstation}} Playstation 1]] ''{{VisualNovel/Yarudora}}'' games, ''Double Cast'' was directed by Mizuho Nishikubo (''GhostInTheShell movie'', ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold'', ''{{Patlabor}} 2 The Movie''), the character design is courtesy of Keiji Gotoh (''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'', ''Manga/ThoseWhoHuntElves''), and the Original Soundtrack is signed YukiKajiura (''Anime/DotHackSign'', ''Anime/Mai-Hime'', ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'').

* KillEmAll: Several Bad Endings, but especially the "Genocide Chapter", a hidden series of six separate Bad Endings that all end this way. No matter what the protagonist chooses in this section, it will always end with him dead.

* [[spoiler: {{Yandere}}"Mitsuki", who is extremely possessive of Shiho and attacks any man who gets close to her.]]

The story is about an unnamed protagonist (supposed to be the player's representative), who is a member of his college's Film Club. One night, he goes out drinking with his fellow club members, and gets so drunk that he passes out on top of a bunch of garbage bags. Upon awakening, he finds himself on a fountain with a strange girl holding him, who took him out of the garbage bags. As thanks, the protagonist takes her for a bite at a nearby fast food restaraunt. He quickly discovers that the girl has no memory of who she is aside from her name: Mitsuki Akasaka. With nowhere for her to go, the protagonist offers for her to stay at his place, which she enthusiastically accepts.

* BloodIsSquickierInWater- Used twice- [[spoiler:In the Genocide Chapter, where Shouko has been killed in her bathtub, and in Shiho's flashback, where the original Mitsuki had comitted suicide by slitting her wrists in the bathtub.]]

* * ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: The psychologist Morishima, who appears briefly on a TV show. It happens very early in the game if you go eat ramen with Mitsuki. As it turns out, she was actually Shiho's psychologist while she was hospitalized for her SplitPersonality.]]

** ShotaroMorikuba- Futamura

** ShowtaroMorikuba- Futamura

* ShadowDiscretionEffect- Used to great effect- the killer is always shown as being obscured by shadows to the point that you can barely make out any of their features.

'''This article is still under construction'''

* [[spoiler:{{Yandere}}- "Mitsuki", who is extremely possessive of Shiho and attacks any man who gets close to her.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight- Normal Ending 1 is this for Shiho, a member of the film club who barely gets any lines in the main story, as it greatly expands and develops her character.

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality- The story's main twist- Mitsuki is actually a girl named Shiho who has two personalities- "Shiho", her GenkiGirl self, and "Mitsuki", a vicious personality based off of Shiho's conflicting feelings for her sister Mitsuki that was born after the original Mitsuki's suicide. As a result, Shiho was hospitalized for a while.]]
* [[SplitPersonalityMerge: Good Endings 2 and 3 seem to imply that the personality in control of Shiho there is neither Shiho nor "Mitsuki", but rather a third personality that combines traits of both of them.]]
