Line 15:
A short time later, the Film Club decides to film a movie called "The Enclosed Woman's 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...

{{tropelist}}
=== This game presents the following tropes: ===
 
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]- Normal Ending 1 is this for Shouko, a member of the film club who barely gets any lines in the main story, as it greatly expands and develops her character.
* [[Adventure Game]]
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]- The original Mitsuki, who did this out of a combination of her hatred for men and feelings of betrayal by her sister Shiho, who dated guys regardless. The trauma Shiho experienced from the site of her sister's body, combined with her feelings of love and hatred for Mitsuki is what gave birth to her "Mitsuki" personality.}}
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]] / [[Golden Ending]]: Good End 1.
* [[FacelessFeatureless Protagonist]]
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Several of them, with some even being right at the beginning of the game:
** [[Meaningful Name|The game's title]]: "[[Significant Double Casting|Double Casting]]" is actually a film terminology...
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]- Futamura {{spoiler|in Bad Ending #10, when he reveals that he was the one who arranged for the remake of the "Enclosed Woman's Room" and caused the deaths of the last crew.}}
* [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]- 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.
* {{spoiler|[[The Southpaw]]- "Mitsuki". The clearest sign there is that the "[[Yandere (disambiguation)|Mitsuki]]" [[Split Personality|personality]] is awake is [[A Sinister Clue|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.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]- Mitsuki is actually a girl named Shiho who has two personalities- "Shiho", her [[Genki Girl]] 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.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality Merge]]: 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.}}
Line 87 ⟶ 86:
* {{spoiler|[[Woman Scorned]]- The original Mitsuki, who, as a result of having a very abusive boyfriend at one point, grew to hate all men, growing even more furious whenever she saw her sister Shiho with a man, and would beat her whenever she saw it.}}
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: The protagonist plans quite the elaborate one in the climax. {{spoiler|First, after figuring out that "Mitsuki" is the one trying to kill him, he calls up the rest of the film club to help him stage an ambush at the initial cut screening. Second, after gathering all the evidence he needs, films it all, and adds it into the film reel. Then, he manages to get "Mitsuki" all alone with him so he can confront her with the evidence. Then when "Mitsuki" tries to flee, he has the whole film club wait outside so she can't escape, forcing her to retreat to the roof so he can stage an [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]. ''And then'', anticipating that will fail, he has the rest of the film club prepare a stunt mat at the bottom of the school so he can jump off the roof with "Mitsuki" in an attempt to reawaken her Shiho personality.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: "Mitsuki", who is extremely possessive of Shiho and attacks any man who gets close to her. She's the inspiration for [[Visual Novel]] [[Trope Codifier|Trope Codifiers]]s ''[[School Days]]'' and ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Her Plan A to deal with the protagonist, with some [[Leave No Witnesses]] for good measure.}}
** {{spoiler|[[If I Can't Have You]]: Her Plan B if it the above fails. In Bad Ending 14, she forces the protagonist [[Take My Hand|to let go of her]] to her and Shiho's demise. [[Player Punch|Made particulary poignant]] in that, just before, Shiho's personality briefly comes back, tearfully telling she wants to live.}}
