That's Not My Neighbor is a psychological horror and social deduction game that puts you in the shoes of a security guard for an apartment building in 1955. The world is plagued by doppelgängers—monsters that look like humans—and it is your responsibility to verify the identity of everyone who tries to enter. You must cross-reference their entry permits, ID numbers, and physical appearance against a folder of known residents. If you spot a discrepancy, you must deny entry and contact the Doppelgänger Detection Department (D.D.D.). One mistake could lead to your demise and the end of the residents you are sworn to protect.

That's Not My Neighbor is a brilliant take on the 'Papers, Please' style of gameplay, but infused with a deeply unsettling horror vibe. The 1955 setting and the grimy, hand-drawn art style create a sense of dread before a single word is even spoken. It manages to make the mundane task of checking paperwork feel incredibly high-stakes because the consequences of being wrong are visceral and terrifying.
The genius lies in the subtlety of the doppelgängers. Sometimes it’s a glaringly obvious monster, which is almost a relief, but other times it's a tiny typo on an ID card or a slightly different shade of eye color that you might miss if you're rushing. This game perfectly captures that 'uncanny valley' feeling. It’s stressful, addictive, and genuinely creepy. It’s easily one of the best indie horror titles currently available on mobile.

Tips & Walkthrough
Always compare the height and facial features carefully. Sometimes a doppelgänger will have an extra nostril, a slightly misplaced ear, or a missing mole. Don't just look at the documents—interrogate the person if their story doesn't match the building's records.
Gameplays
Each visitor presents their ID and entry request. You must check the daily list to see if they are expected. Use the telephone to verify their appearance with their family members. If everything is correct, hit the green button; if not, hit the emergency alarm.

Q&A
If a resident is not on the daily entry list, it is a major red flag. Call their apartment to confirm if they were supposed to be out.
