Released on February 24, 2024, by Costa Rican solo developer Ignacio Alvarado (Nacho Sama), That's Not My Neighbor is a horror job simulator set in a 1955 apartment building. Available on Steam, itch.io (for those who purchased before the Steam release), and select online platforms, the game casts you as a doorman tasked with a chilling mission: identify doppelgangers—shape-shifting creatures that mimic residents—to prevent them from infiltrating the building.
Double-Check Everything: Compare IDs and entry requests against the Daily Visitor List and dossiers. Even small errors, like an expired ID, can signal a doppelganger.
Use the Phone: If a visitor isn’t on the Daily List, call their apartment to verify their story.
Watch for Subtle Clues: In Nightmare Mode, doppelgangers have minor flaws, like slightly off facial proportions. Zoom in on photos to spot differences.
Enable Trypophobia Filter: If you have trypophobia, toggle the setting to avoid triggering visuals.
Organize Documents: Place completed forms in floor-specific folders to stay organized during hectic shifts.
Be Cautious with the D.D.D.: Calling 3312 to neutralize a doppelganger is final—ensure you’re certain before pressing the emergency button.
That's Not My Neighbor delivers a fresh take on horror by blending detective work, psychological tension, and retro aesthetics. Its challenging gameplay, diverse modes, and replayable structure make it a standout indie title. Whether you’re spotting doppelgangers in Arcade Mode or unraveling lore in Campaign Mode, the game keeps you hooked with its mix of suspense and strategy.
