Play as twins Jace and Hazel in this queer romantic-comedy visual novel.
A confident flirt with a narcissistic streak, Jace has breezed through most of his life thanks to his charm and good looks but lacks ambition. On the other hand, his sister Hazel is a talented but short-tempered pianist who has few friends because of the haughty facade she uses to hide her social awkwardness.
Already halfway through their college years, the twins realize neither of them have ever been in love before. Like any other not-so-rational person, they decide to turn finding love into a competition. Whoever gets into a relationship first wins!
May the best twin win!

Trouble Comes Twice features four romance options:

Stephanie: A shy, gentle violinist from a wealthy family. She admires Hazel a lot.
Adrian: Childhood friends with the twins, Adrian is a stoic but caring person.
Zoe: A bubbly, playful girl who moved in next door to the twins some months ago.
Cameron: A flirty guy with a "bad boy" reputation around college, Cameron loves teasing the twins every chance he gets.
Who will claim your heart first?

In our case, unfortunately yes… It’d require a new graphic for each achievement, as well as revisiting code we haven’t touched in years, and then we’d have to recruit new people specifically to handle that. But maybe in the distant future, if we ever revisit TCT to revamp other parts of the game, we may consider adding achievements to the list.
Nooot sure which ending you unlocked, but there’s two for each route! Afterwards, you can access an epilogue in the extras section.
If you’ve already seen that, then yes I fear that’s the end for them in the main game. We released a DLC not too long ago, however, that contains a few extra short stories for all the different couples! 💕
Noted! For OP and anyone else who may be wondering about it: We’re afraid you’re just going to have to use the save/load button as we aren’t able to go and change the keybindings now.
We’ll definitely keep this in mind for our next game though and try to make everything better. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hi!You can purchase and download the DLC on this page. There’s also instructions for how to activate the DLC.
Jace/Adrian was so cuteeee!! It checks all the boxes for my favorite tropes (both are oblivious and the energetic/reserved duo and brat/acts-of-service-babygirl dynamic). I can't play any other routes now
Also, Jace and Hazel's sibling interactions and dynamic were so realistic and fun
(played through Steam but can't help but also leave a comment here)
Thank you to the devs. I enjoyed playing all the routes.
Jace/Cameron is my favourite route. It's a huge comfort to me.
I can really empathize with Jace's hesitancy to be open in a safe environment due to being a people pleaser. I think most people (like me) can also relate to Cameron's frustrations about how reputation and appearances can have way too much impact on daily life.
I've played the romantic version of the Jace/Cameron route, alone over 5 times.
A little personal advice I wish I had given myself before playing: DO NOT play Jace's route with Adrian until you've played all the other routes.
Simply Adrian's supremacy, got me cry with happiness. I AM IN LOVE with their ending and the whole relationship that develops with these two.
I can't imagine playing another route now that I already enjoyed Adrian's route, IT'S JUST THE BEST. (੭ ˊ^ˋ)੭ ♡
Thank you very much for your hard work and for allowing me to enjoy it ⋆。♡˚
I only played Cameron's route with Jace, but I really didn't like it and here are my reasons:
1 There really was no romance. You don't even properly kiss him outside of the epilogue, actually we don't even kiss him at all in what's supposed to be his romantic route. His dramatic route is actually more romantic than his actual romantic route lmao. Considering that I just saw here a CG of Jace kissing Stephanie then I can assume this is not as big of a problem in the straight routes.
2 The only drama in their route was self inflicted by Jace not wanting to date guys. And that's it. Not even the bet mattered. And that's really boring, cause all it took for them to start dating was for Jace to finally get over himself. And all we got after Jace accepted his sexuality was a preschool level relationship, like what college guy would even wait around for that ? Especially one that doesn't even have any emotional investment in Jace (like Adrian does), like realistically he would've just cut his losses a long time ago.
3 The CGs on this route are very badly drawn. Like seriously, the "chibi CG" was literally the only one I found cute and that should say it all. And the fact that I just saw here a CG of Cameron, which I can only assume appears on his route with Hazel, where he actually looks handsome instead of looking like an old man with red dyed hair makes it really insulting, as it implies that nobody could be bothered to put some proper work on Jace's romance with Cameron.
4 Cameron is quite obviously written to be romanced by Hazel (while I assume Adrian is the one written for Jace from the comments, even tho I didn't play his route), if the quality of his CGs between their routes didn't make that obvious already then I think the fact Cameron is still shown to be attracted to Jace's twin sister even at the start of their route should say it all. Honestly it seems like each LI is written for a certain twin, which really makes romancing them as the other twin awkward. I don't want to feel like a second choice/rebound in a dating sim, especially to my twin character !
Sorry for what looks like an overly negative review, but I really wanted to express my throughts. If other people like this route then more power to them.
Hello! I bought this game on Steam last week, and have been in love ever since! I adore all of the main characters and appreciate how none of them feel flat or one-dimensional. The dynamic between Hazel and Jace is hilarious, and it is refreshing to see a sharp-tongued female protagonist.
I'm also sure you have heard this many times, but I love how this game has same-sex pairings as well as opposite-sex pairings, as many Visual Novels only include one or the other. Though I have not completed all routes, the routes that I have played were beautifully written (especially Zoe x Hazel, andAdrian x Jace).
Thank you for this lovely game! Also, I read you are a team from Germany and Sweden so: gute Arbeit and bra jobbat!!
We don’t know yet, sorry! But it’s not going to be anytime soon, as we require additional assistance to figure out the issue. If you want to play and you have a MAC, it’s best to purchase here on itchio (or if you have already purchased, request a refund and purchase here on itchio instead).
I believe there should be a warning if the game is not compatible with your device when purchasing on Steam?
I got both Adrian endings (of course I went for him first), and it was so delightful! I kept sending screenshots to my friends and chuckle in front of my screen. Hazel is a lovely MC, I wish I had her confidence and in the same time she was kinda relatable, especially in the sibling endless bickering.
Anyway, I needed a good funny lighthearted romance because I have been feeling very anxious those days and I got exactly what I need!
Thanks for the game, I am excited to try the other routes!
As it seems several people have been able to claim their Steam keys, we think some are still just looking in the wrong place. We have contacted itch support in case the issue might be technical somehow, but we haven't received a response yet.
This is from another VN, but the method described in this thread should be the same for Trouble Comes Twice. Hope it helps!
