Are you searching for a game that blends mystery, strategy, and a touch of deception? That’s Not My Neighbor offers a thrilling and enjoyable experience for you and your loved ones. Here’s a brief guide to help you dive right in!
Game Overview
In “That’s Not My Neighbor,” you and your friends assume the roles of neighbors in a delightful neighborhood, but with a twist—unbeknownst to everyone, one of you is secretly an alien imposter! Your goal? Unmask the alien before it’s game over.
How to play That’s Not My Neighbor
In That’s Not My Neighbor, set in February 1955 within a security office, you play as a security guard for the Doppelganger Detection Department (D.D.D.). Your task is to identify Doppelgangers attempting to enter the building while ensuring genuine Neighbors gain access.
Using tools like a Rotary phone, resident files, checklists, and an observation window, you interrogate visitors who must present photo IDs and entry forms listed for the day. Mistakes in criteria reveal Doppelgangers, but inadvertently harming a Neighbor doesn’t end the game, though it affects your final rank from ‘S’ to ‘F’. Additional game modes are anticipated, promising more challenges beyond this identity verification gameplay.
How To Check Appearances
Spotting a Doppelganger by their appearance may seem straightforward, but it can be deceptive. Differences can be as subtle as eye color, hairstyle, or nose shape. The images in Neighbor files and the Daily Visitor List are always accurate. Doppelgangers often have obvious flaws like extra or missing body parts, incorrect hair, or an inability to speak, revealing their true nature. Sometimes, Neighbors may have plausible reasons for unusual appearances, requiring you to make judgment calls. Additionally, characters like Chester don’t fit into either Neighbor or Doppelganger categories.
How To Use The Daily Visitor List
On the wall to the left of your workstation is the Daily Visitor List, which lists all approved visitors to the building. Some Doppelgangers might impersonate someone already on the list, so it’s crucial to check it before each round to ensure you only admit expected individuals. Currently, there’s a glitch where a Neighbor might appear on the list but still answer the phone when called. If someone with fully correct information is on the list but responds at the window, it’s a glitch where they’re still the correct person. Accidentally harming them could mean harming a Neighbor and lowering your rank!
How To Check I.D.s
In That’s Not My Neighbor, verify each visitor’s identity with a valid photo ID, checking details like the photo, ID number, expiration date (after February 1955), D.D.D. logo, and name. Doppelgangers may present IDs with errors or missing information. Pay attention to ID number accuracy and double-check names with double letters like Izaak Gauss, Francis Mosses, and Rafttellyn Cappuccin. Ensure the ID photo matches the visitor and corresponds with files or the daily list.
How To Use The Entry Request Form
Visitors must present both their ID and Entry Request Form. The form indicates their apartment, reason for visiting, name, photo, and the D.D.D. logo. Missing any of these items is suspicious and could signal a Doppelganger. Some forms may lack a photo or display an incorrect one. Sometimes, the photo matches the file but not the ID or the visitor in front of you. Pay attention to grammatical errors or incorrect professions in the reason for returning, as these can indicate a Doppelganger. Verify that the name, apartment number, and D.D.D. logos are accurate on the form; an invalid form or ID lacking a logo should raise alarms.
How To Check The Files
On the right side of your workspace, you’ll find three file folders with detailed information on each Neighbor, including images, I.D. numbers, phone numbers, descriptions, and apartment numbers. When a visitor arrives, you need to compare their documents to the information in these files. Any discrepancy indicates a potential Doppelganger. The files always contain accurate information, so use them to verify the authenticity of the visitor’s documents.
How To Use The Checklist
The Checklist helps you keep track of your tools and question visitors about missing or suspicious documents. If a visitor lacks a document, mark the ‘x’ box on the checklist and select Question the individual. When you close the checklist, you’ll ask the visitor why the document is missing. They might then provide it, offer an excuse, or claim they don’t have one. Use the checklist for issues with appearance, too. You don’t need to complete the checklist to unlock the door, but doing so confirms you’re allowing entry.
How To Use The Phone
In That’s Not My Neighbor, using the phone is crucial for confirming a Neighbor’s visit status and identifying Doppelgangers. Despite appearing on the Daily Visitor List with correct documents, visitors may still turn out to be Doppelgangers. Calling their apartment helps verify identity, especially during emergencies or unusual circumstances. If no one answers and the visitor lives alone, they’re likely a real Neighbor; otherwise, they could be a Doppelganger. The phone also plays a key role in activating security measures against Doppelgangers. Pressing the red button triggers alarms and locks the office, allowing you to call the D.D.D. at ‘3312’ for further action, ensuring security and maintaining verification integrity.
Conclusion
That’s Not My Neighbor sounds like a fun and suspenseful game for anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a social deduction twist. While it currently offers a single core mechanic of identifying imposters through document verification and observation, the subtle details and potential for future updates hint at a game with a lot of room to grow. If you’re looking for a unique and engaging game to play with friends, That’s Not My Neighbor is definitely worth checking out.
