That’s not my Neighbor

That’s Not My Neighbor casts players in the role of a diligent doorman, tasked with the unusual and critical responsibility of protecting an apartment complex from a hidden threat. Unlike ordinary doormen who might simply manage entries and exits, players must discern between regular tenants and malevolent doppelgangers disguised as humans. Each interaction at the doorway becomes a complex puzzle, where players must use their wits and keen observation to detect subtle anomalies that could reveal a visitor’s true nature.

Unmasking the Impostors

The game introduces an innovative mechanic where the doorman must employ a mix of technology and intuition to verify each visitor’s identity. Players are equipped with advanced surveillance tools and a direct line to the Doppelganger Detection Department (D.D.D.), an agency that specializes in paranormal threats. These resources are critical in analyzing physical mannerisms, verifying documentation, and making split-second decisions that could safeguard or jeopardize the safety of the complex’s residents.

Technological Tools and Human Instincts

In That’s Not My Neighbor, players navigate a challenging array of encounters with potential doppelgangers. They must master the use of various technological tools provided by the D.D.D., including security cameras that capture minute discrepancies in behavior, document scanners to check the authenticity of IDs, and databases that offer background checks at the touch of a button. Each tool provides a piece of the puzzle, but it’s up to the player to put these pieces together, blending technology with natural instinct to make judgment calls that are never entirely black or white.

A Test of Ethics and Perceptiveness

As the narrative progresses, the game tests the player’s ability to detect doppelgangers and challenges their ethical boundaries. Decisions are not merely about security; they also weave moral fibers into the storyline, presenting dilemmas such as privacy concerns, the ethical treatment of beings who look and feel human, and the personal biases that might affect the player’s judgments. Players must continually adapt to new threats and unexpected twists, ensuring that no two playthroughs are the same, and each choice leads to unique consequences that affect the overall safety and morale of the apartment complex.
