FUN GAMEPLAY - SERIOUS MESSAGE


Doppel Diner is not just a story about a diner influenced by external weather conditions. It is also a metaphor for managing the emotional states of bipolar disorder: a mental illness that causes dramatic mood shifts. The game's goal is not to explain what bipolar disorder is, but to offer an experience of how it might feel like to spark important conversations and shift the stigma around mental health.
