That’s Not My Neighbor is a gripping puzzle horror game that immerses players in a world of paranoia, logic-based deduction, and terrifying mystery. As a doorman in a dystopian apartment complex, your job isn't just to check IDs, it's to protect tenants from dangerous doppelgängers. With its chilling atmosphere and suspenseful gameplay, the game masterfully blends scary, strategic decisions with shooting action when needed.

Perfect for fans of deduction-based survival stories, That’s Not My Neighbor invites you into a twisted test of logic and moral decision-making.

What Is That’s Not My Neighbor?

At first glance, your role may seem simple: screen people at the door. But in this unsettling universe, things are never what they seem. Some of the visitors you encounter are shape-shifting impostors, uncanny, eerie beings known as doppelgängers, that imitate residents with terrifying accuracy.

The game combines logic puzzles, scary themes, and shooting sequences to keep you constantly on edge. You must analyze documents, ask the right questions, observe behavior, and sometimes make the life-or-death call to deny entry or even shoot on sight.

Gameplay Mechanics

What makes the gameplay stand out is the constant interplay between deduction and danger. You'll:

  • Review ID cards, permits, and behavioral clues.
  • Listen closely for inconsistencies in voice or appearance.
  • Make quick judgment calls under pressure allow or eliminate.
  • Encounter random outcomes, making every shift unpredictable.

The slow build-up of tension and frequent jump scares are a trademark of the game’s mystery and scary appeal, delivering an unforgettable experience with each playthrough.
