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?

this is what i call an otome. the storylines, illustrations and even the UI are remarkable. i love every character in this game.

one of the only romance vns that has truly struck me this year. 5/5.

such a cute game, I really wish it was longer

Love the game, can you put the MacOS version on Steam??

(+1)

Due to technical reasons, we haven't been able to offer a MacOS version on Steam unfortunately. It's on our backburner to figure out how to solve this, but it's not something we're going to be able to tackle anytime soon as we're busy working on our next title. Sorry for the inconvenience!

(+1)

I fell in love with this game at first sight ₍^ >ヮ<^₎ .ᐟ.ᐟ

(+1)

i just wrnt through the Stephanie route (W IS SOOOO CUTE I LOVE HER!!) but its over after the date? i just got so confuse pls say isnt over 😿

(1 edit) (+1)

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! 💕

my game brings me to history instead of the save screen. What are the key binding to fix it.

Hi! Not sure what key/button you're pressing that you want to lead you to the save screen? Could you provide us some more information? 

I think they mean the esc button leading to the history in this game and in most visual novels the esc key leads to the save screen.

yeh, i have the same problem! I play in the joiplay (T_T) and I simple can't find where to save! please help me 😿.

(1 edit)

Hi! We don’t really know how that works, we made the game for mac and pc and that’s all we are able to check and fix. If joiplay doesn’t allow you to click the save/load button, there’s nothing we can do about that I’m afraid. 

Oh, its okay! I guess i should play it in one roll (?) if that's make sense lol, but thank u !! :D

I JUTS FIX IT !! in the settings I put display on "right" and it worked!! :D

(1 edit)

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!

My game is popping up a demo even though, I bought it.

Hi! The full game doesn’t automatically download or update when you buy it. Have you made sure to download the correct version?

Depending on whether you have a Mac or a PC, the version you need to download should be named:

TroubleComesTwice-MAC-1.0

TroubleComesTwice-PC-1.0

are the dramatic routes the bad endings 🥺 (im used to games having a bad and good ending but i like the characters and don't want to see them sad)

(+2)

No, not at all! The dramatic endings (on average) have more ’drama/emotional’ scenes, but all endings are ultimately happy and I know a lot of people felt that made some of the dramatic endings even more romantic :) 

Huzzah!!

Hello! I just bought this game in the Queer Games Bundle 2024. While it was advertised as including a Steam key, when I attempt to redeem it I am getting the error: "There are no keys available at this time, try again later" I would appreciate if this could be resolved ASAP!

Sorry about that, we missed that we had ran out of keys! It's been updated now and you should be able to claim a Steam key alongside your base game purchase.

I tried clicking the Steam key button and it said there were none available now

Sorry about that, we missed that we had ran out of keys! It's been updated now and you should be able to claim a Steam key alongside your base game purchase.

Just bought the game, as a bisexual, I can't wait to complete and rank all the routes 💖💜💙!! 🥰

Hope you have a great time!! 

hello i wanted to dowload the dlc (wedding here( but im not sure where to find it

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)

(1 edit) (-3)

Can it change another route when it is progressing?

(+3)

Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean with this question? You can start a new route whenever you want and access the old ones again as long as you saved.

(+3)(-7)

OK, got it. So sad. Otherwise,it would be more interesting.

... I wish we have the mobile version for this. I'm always on the go so I preferred playing visual novels either on switch or in mobile;;

(1 edit) (+1)

You can play on Android using Joiplay

pretty fun game!!!!!! usually i prefer to play as a girl, but i actually liked Jace's routes a lot more than Hazel's....he's just a more relatable and likeable character to me lol also Jace/Adrian is the fuckin endgame!!!!!!!!!!

i LOVE this game!! unfortunately i dont have any money so i cant buy the entire game <//3 sucks playing the demo over & over but its amazing!

(+4)

If you follow our socials, we do giveaways now and then! It’s been a while since our last one but we’ll likely host another when it’s time for the DLC to release. <3

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. 

aw it comes with a tax, so its more expensive :(

Hi, i just wondered,wont you create nsfw cutscene for game?

(+6)(-1)

No, we have no intention of ever making an nsfw version of Trouble Comes Twice. Sorry!

(+1)(-1)

Hi! First I wanted to say that I just finished Cameron and Jace's route (my first route) and I really loved it! However I can't seem to watch the epilogue, is there any requirements needed before being able to watch it? I only completed the romantic ending so I was wondering if that was why

Yes, you need to complete both endings before you can unlock the epilogue. Glad you enjoyed! 

oh alright thanks!

(+2)(-1)

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 ⋆。♡˚

(-1)

I made the mistake of playing theirs first and now I don't have the heart to try Cameron's or Stephanie's like I told myself I would before completing Adrian's. How could I after that bomb drop. 😭 

(-1)

Like yeah now I can't play Hazel and Adrian's route anymore cause it feels weird now

ty for the heads up, i was gonna do theirs first lmao

(+10)(-2)

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.

You're right. This Jace-Cameron route is so bare boned that it's tragic. Even some free vns have way better story.

After playing the demo I purchased the game on steam not realizing that the full version of the game hasn't been released on mac yet. Do you have plans to release the full version playable on mac? And when would that be? Thank you

I just realized you have mac available on itchio but not steam. It's my mistake for not looking before purchasing! I apologize! :

Hi there I have a question,

I played Adrian routes and this sentence appeared to me ""Hazel's epilogue for Adrian is now unlocked.""I wanted to ask how can I play it.

Hi! You should be able to access the epilogues from the Extras menu. 

(1 edit)

Hi there I have a problem,

you said that the pc versions only in steam and when I tried to buy from there, it was not accepted even though there was money. Could you please add the PC version here?

Hi! The PC version is available here on itch.io and on Steam, but the Mac version is only available on itchio. If you purchase the game here, you will be able to play the PC version.

OK thanks 

Hi, Cameron's route crashes after getting together with him and after the (I'm mushy, alright) part. It just goes back to the start screen.

Hi! We think you’ve just reached the ending, and may have mistakenly skipped over the ending screen. Or you’ve got an older version, before we extended the ending screen length. 

Oh I see! Thank you thank you :) loved the game!

I love this game and i really liked all the routes ❤ btw can u release the soundtrack too? I loved listening to the different tunes you put in the scenes❤❤

Show post...

I definitely can see why the love interest fall for Jace cuz I'm fall for him too 🥹 Sadly I can't enjoy Hazel side as much as him.

We’re glad you liked Jace!

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, and Adrian 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!!

Thank you for the lovely comment! We hope you enjoy the other routes too if you decide to check them out. ❤️

hii i bought the game on steam but there's no mac version, is there any way to get it?? 😭😭😭

Hi! For now, the MAC version is not available on Steam. We would reccomend that you request a refund from Steam and purchase the game here on itchio instead if you haven’t got a PC!

I just discovered the same thing. Can you tell us when there will be the mac version on Steam ? ?.?

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 saw it like ten seconds before buying the game ah, ah. It was actually in red on the stream page.

The thing is on itch.io the taxes when you're not from US rise the price by 5$. Well no choice if I want to play it ah, ah.

Thanks for the answer !!

just a question... do you use both protagonists?

You can try the demo to get a feel for how it works, but you select one of the protagonists (Hazel or Jace) when you start the game! You’re not required to play as both at the same time.

hiii sorry, I bought the game on steam, is there a way to get the official walkthrough? ;o

(+1)

if you go to the discussions page on steam, then you'll find the guide there :)

here you go 

Thank youuu <3

(+1)

Are you gonna add achievements? Would love to have them there as it adds another reason to get through the others routes. Thanks for the great game!

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

No plans for achievements right now, sorry!

(+1)

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!

We hope you have fun with the other routes as well, thank you for playing Ayael! 💜

I finish playing Hazel romances, they were all so delightful! I might even try Jace's one, I never play masculine MC usually but the game is so enjoyable I think I will give it a shot!

Hi! I wanted to ask I recently got this game on steam and I noticed there's a walkthrough available under the itch page. I wanted to ask if the walkthrough will also be available on steam?


Thank You!

(+2)

The walkthrough is available on Steam now!

i saw it releases on steam in 2 hrs and was wondering did yall ever get the issue fixed for some of us who purchased but didn't get a steam key as well?

(+3)

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!

I believe I am having the same issue, I bought the game here on itch.io but I can't seem to find the steam key anywhere...

(+1)

If the guide linked above doesn’t work for you, we would reccomend contacting itchio directly as it may be a technical issue or something! As we said, we have already written in, we just haven’t received a response yet.

I see, thanks for the effort! I shall try that

I just finished the game and HOW AWESOME. I'm a lesbian girl so it was almost obvious to me that sapphic stories would get me a lot more attention initially. I saw myself a lot in Stephanie so I didn't really know what to do because I don't really know what affects me, but with Zoe, it was the opposite, because she is my opposite.

I loved the game so much, the romantic and dramatic endings, the epilogues, the characters so solid but so realistic, the arts, I will definitely try to play the other routes.

I finished the game with some difficulty because I'm Brazilian and I don't have such good English (I'm even using the translator at the moment), because of that I kind of missed some dialogues, so there is the idea or possibility of Trouble Comes Twice have translation into Portuguese and other languages so that other people can enjoy 100% of the story?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GAME!

Hi! Have you tried using the walkthrough? 

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

<333333

Unfortunately, localization was not included in our original budget for Trouble Comes Twice and translation for visual novels is very costly due to the high word count. We would love to potentially include localization as a stretch goal for future games, but for now we are unable to translate Trouble Comes Twice into other languages.

(+1)

Possibly stupid question, but for those with the Steam edition already (KS, for example), will the walkthrough be released at actual release (the 14th, I believe it was)? I just wanted to be sure. No worries, either way!

(+2)

Yes! 

But you can DM us on KS to receive the walkthrough now.

Thanks so much! For the prompt response, too!
