Hello! Welcome to the official Double Dead Studio Tumblr, the solodev behind Reanimated Heart, Another Rose in His Garden, Pygmalion's Folly, and Lost Connections.
Reanimated Heart is a character-driven horror romance visual novel about finding love in a mysterious small town. There are three monstrous love interests with their own unique personalities and storylines.
Another Rose in His Garden is an 18+ erotic Omegaverse BL visual novel. Abel Valencia is an Omega who's hidden his secondary sex his entire life. Life's alright, until he meets the wealthy tycoon, Mars Rosales, and the two get embroiled in a sexual affair that changes his life forever.
Pygmalion's Folly is a survival murdersim where you play as Roxham Police Department's star detective, hellbent on finding your sister's killer... until he finds you.
Lost Connections is a short VN where you go to a laundromat and meet a man who feels like a ghost.
Content Warning: Most of my games are 18+! They contains dark subject matter such as violence and sexual content. Player discretion is advised.
This blog is ran by Jack, the creator.

Guidelines
My policy for fanwork is that anything goes in fiction, but respect my authority and copyright outside it. This means normal fan activity like taking screencaps, posting playthroughs, and making fanart/fanfiction is completely allowed, but selling this game or its assets isn't allowed (selling fanwork of it is fine, though). You are also not allowed to feed any of my assets to AI bots, period, even if it's free.
Do not use my stuff for illegal or hateful content.
Also, I expect everyone to respect the Content Warnings on the page. I'm old and do not tolerate fandom wank.
For more details about how I view Fanwork, refer to this post.
F.A.Q.
Who are the main Love Interests in Reanimated Heart?
Read their character profiles here!!
Where can we learn more about Pavel and the hitmen? Or What is 'Hitmen Stories?'
I made a Portal here with their tags and official posts!
Who's the team?
Jack (creator, writer, artist), mostly. I closely work with Exodus (main programmer) and Claira (music composer). My husband edits the drafts.
For Reanimated Heart, my friend Bonny makes art assets. I've also gotten help from outsiders like Sleepy (prologue music + vfx) and my friend Gumjamin (main menu heart animation).
For Reanimated Heart's VOs, Alex Ross voices Crux, Devin McLaughlin voices Vincenzo, Christian Cruz voices Black, Maganda Marie voices Grete, and Zoe D. Lee voices Missy.
Basically, it's mostly just me & outsourcing stuff to my friends and professionals.
How can I support Double Dead Studio productions?
You can pay for the game, or join our monthly Patreon! If you don't have any money, just giving it a nice rating and recommending it to a friend is already good enough. :)
Where do the funds go to?
Almost 100% gets poured back into the game. More voice acting, more music, more trailers, more art, etc. I also like to give my programmer a monthly tip for helping me.
This game is really my insane passion project, and I want to make it better with community support.
I live in the Philippines and the purchasing power of php is not high, especially since many of the people I outsource to prefer USD. (One time I spent P10k of my own money in one month just to get things.) I'll probably still do that, even if no money comes in, until I'm in danger of getting kicked out the street… but maybe even then? (jk)
What platforms will Reanimated Heart be released in?
Itch and then Steam when it's fully finished. Still looking into other options, as I hear both are getting bad.
Will Reanimated Heart be free?
Chapter 1 will be free. The rest will be updated on Patreon exclusively until full release.
Are you doing a mobile version?
Yeah. Just Android for now, but it's in the works.
Where can I listen to Reanimated Heart's OST?
It is currently up on YouTube, Spotify, and Bandcamp!
Why didn't you answer my ask?
A number of things! Two big ones that keep coming up are Spoilers (as in, you asked something that will be put in an update) or it's already been asked. If you're really dying to know, check the character tags or the meta commentary. You might find what you're looking for there. :)
Will there be a sequel to Pygmalion's Folly?
It's not my first concern right now, but I am planning on it.

The Google Docs right now is very cluttered, so I am making this public Accountability post where I, and the public, can keep track of the development progress of Hitmen Stories. I am keeping it here on Tumblr because I'm here all the time and I don't want to make a website for this right now, and also because a lot of the bonus content people are going to look for are here.
I don't want to be one of those devs that raises money and fucks off after, LMFAO. So, here's everything that I promised in the Google docs during the fundraising, and you can keep track of which ones have been fulfilled and which one are still pending.

Yo i'm sorry for asking about the alphabet I really meant when I said don't get burnt out 😭 I was genuinely just curious about it but really you guys are awesome and sorry if my ask made y'all feel pressured or anything it really wasn't my intention for that. I would've apologized on the server but lowkey it's anon for a reason and y'all lowkey seem pissed with that as which is more than fair 💀. But I'm low-key not tryna get banned cuz I'm a lurker in there lol. But knowing it's just two of you guys working y'all pace with everything is actually fucking insane kudos to y'all and y'all's time management really it's awesome. Especially knowing y'all are working on two games at the same time. I didn't even know it was a lot of people asking that either but again sorry I was actually being genuine especially since I mean I just got into y'all's work and everything like that I wasn't trying to be shady or anything with the don't burn yourselves out especially since I've seen a lot of artists just kinda just drop their work due to burnout. But really I'm sorry bout that was naught my intention whatsoever. Y'all have an awesome day!!!
Aw, thank you for the apology, anon! I really appreciate the sincerity and self-reflection here.
Sorry if you felt singled out, but there were just multiple in our inbox, so I decided to address the issue more broadly in public because I don't think people understand how the work flow goes, if that makes sense? There's still a lot of people under the impression that the "studio" is a big team with a budget and people we delegate jobs to, rather than just, mainly, me and my husband.
I know I work like a horse getting stuff out for you guys, but I think it's important to me that you guys know that I am also just a real human person too with limited time and energy who cares about the quality of the output of my work... so I'm not trying to rush everything when they're not ready. :)
How r those NSFW alphabets coming along 👀 also fucking love y'all work you guys are awesome and extremely smart to turn your passion into a money maker ayyy!!! I hope you guys don't get burnt out or anything but y'all got bug things going for you guys just stay true to y'all selves fr!
Thank you!
But also, we have multiple anons asking about the NSFW alphabets, so I just want to address this...
Guys, you already got an insane amount of BONUS content of the Ko-Fi fundraising project within the last 2 weeks!!!
You got sprites, character profiles, a game write-up, Discord emojis, and multiple yumeshipping templates! We are just TWO people. There is no team to delegate other things to. I write, code, draw, and run this blog, while my husband edits, writes, and helps make bonus content for his characters. And I'm currently working on the draft for the Reanimated Heart update slated for July...
Please be patient. We are not going anywhere! You will get every bonus content promised in the upcoming months! Those alphabet templates just take 1-2 days, and I don't intend to make them until at least the RH draft is finished.

I’m not a real person. I’ve never been one. I’ve been faking it this entire time and I just know they’re going to find out soon and I’ll lose everything
nsfw ask in your games--- will there be any images of the OC sex be shown in your future games?
Well, I'm definitely going to try and make CGs of sex scenes, but it's going to be hard with custom MCs since you're just gonna get POVs of the characters, y'know? You're just going to see their faces/tits/dicks/asses. So I don't think I can feasibly do a lot of interesting things...
Are there illnesses in EH that don't exist in MC's world?
Will we see the MC get sick at some point in the game?
Oh, definitely. There are probably magical diseases too.
Um... I'm personally not interested in plotlines where MC gets sick, so there's no plans like that... But, I'll keep this in mind in the future in case something comes up tbh. It's a good idea, I just LITERALLY never thought about it, lmao.
