''Double Cast'' (ダブルキャスト, Daburu Kyasuto) is the first entry in the interactive anime [[Visual Novel]] series ''[[
The story takes place in summer, and 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.
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}}
* [[A Day in
▲* [[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]]
* [[All Just a Dream]]- Humorous example: In Bad Ending 2, where Mitsuki leaves the protagonist after their first meeting, he suddenly wakes up to find himself in the garbage bags he fell asleep on, thinking it was a dream. However, he soon sees Mitsuki, and realizes their meeting hasn't occured yet, and resolves himself not to mess up this time.
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.
* [[
* [[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...
** The box's front cover: {{spoiler|What in the world could mean that reflection of Mitsuki's silhouette?}}
** The quote at the top of the article, which are the very first lines of the game when you start it for the very first time.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Fridge Horror]]: Bad Ending #17 (where the protagonist decides to take care of Mitsuki after she fainted) seems to end rather happily, with the protagonist and Mitsuki going to the film festival together... {{spoiler|However, it's revealed that Sakuma fell from the school rooftop and died recently. At first, it's rather mysterious, but after getting a Good Ending, it's clear that Sakuma confronted the "Mitsuki" personality and was killed by her, and it's highly likely the protagonist will be next...}}
* [[Genki Girl]]: Mitsuki.
* {{spoiler|[[Girl
* [[Guide Dang It]]: As expected from a ''[[
* [[Hint System]]: Appears after all Endings aside from Good End 1 (thus effectively making Good End 1 the [[Golden Ending]]). Gouda and Hanazono are the ones providing hints in the regular route, while Futamura, Haruka, Shoko and/or Mitsuki do it for the side-story routes.
* {{spoiler|[["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: 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 would fail, 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.}}
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]- {{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, [[Beta Couple|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).}}
* [[
* [[Kill
* {{spoiler|[[Knife Nut]]- "Mitsuki".}}
* [[Laser
* [[Laughing Mad]]: The killer does this after having murdered everyone in one of the Genocide Chapter's Bad Endings.
* [[Man On Fire]]: One of the ways you can die in the Genocide Chapter.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]- [[Played for Laughs]]; in one path, Futamura admits to the protagonist that he has a crush on someone. The protagonist has the choice to guess who it is, including Gohda. If he chooses this, Futamura will joke that he's right before angrily denying it.
* [[Names to Know
** [[Ai Orikasa]]- Morishima
** [[Akiko Hiramatsu]]- Mitsuki
Line 86 ⟶ 85:
* [[Visual Pun]]: {{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 moons".}}
* {{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.}}
