Doppelpartment
Doppelpartment is a narrative-driven pixel horror game created by A. V. Dossow, where you manage a small apartment building while something deeply wrong unfolds behind the walls. What begins as a week of rent collecting and repair work slowly unravels into a psychological mystery involving doppelgängers—identical impostors replacing real tenants. The entire game is playable online in your browser, no download required.
Your choices determine who survives, who disappears, and what secrets you uncover in a world where not everything is human anymore.
Gameplay Overview
Each in-game day, you complete routine tasks—checking in on tenants, fixing broken toilets or lights, responding to complaints. But soon you’ll notice subtle shifts: strange behaviors, unsettling dialogue, odd biological residue left behind. Your goal becomes twofold: keep the building running and identify which residents aren’t who they seem to be.
Every choice—whether you comfort someone, accuse them, or simply ignore a request—affects the outcome. And with randomized impostors in every run, no two playthroughs feel the same.
🔍 What Makes It Special
- 🎭 Emotional tension: You’re not just pointing fingers—you’re forming bonds, even romances, with tenants.
- 🧬 Body horror elements: The game features subtle but growing grotesque details that keep you guessing who’s still human.
- 🗂 Multiple endings: There are four endings and several ranks depending on your suspicion level, choices, and performance.
- 💡 Evolving mystery: Dialogue becomes more fragmented and revealing the deeper you dig into each resident’s habits.
- 🧠 Replayable design: With impostors randomly assigned and dialogue that changes based on your actions, every run offers something new.
💡 Tips Before You Start
- 💬 Speak to everyone daily—twice, if possible. Changes in mood and repetition are key red flags.
- 🛠 Fix issues early—leaks, lights, and broken items lower trust and may prevent tenants from opening up.
- 📖 Check your daily reports—they track who’s acting oddly, who trusts you, and what tasks remain unfinished.
- 🧪 Collect physical clues—look for strange leftovers or inconsistencies in dialogue.
- 💔 Don’t trust your instincts too quickly—the game is designed to play with your assumptions.
You can also try another browser-based game by the same developer, A. V. Dossow, called Grotesqueresque.
