Uncover the truth in That’s Not My Neighbor, a mystery puzzle game where you must stop strange lookalikes from sneaking into your apartment building.
That’s Not My Neighbor is an indie mystery game created by Nacho Sama, known for unique story-driven titles like Unlikely and Flesh, Blood & Concrete. Released on itch.io, this captivating experience combines psychological suspense, retro visuals, and detective-style puzzles. Set in February 1955, players take on the role of a doorman for the Doppelganger Detection Department (D.D.D.), working to protect an apartment building from mysterious lookalikes called doppelgangers.
Behind every polite knock lies uncertainty, will you welcome a real neighbor, or an unusual stranger pretending to be one?
STEP INTO THE SHADOWS OF 1955
At first, your task seems simple: check IDs, confirm details, and open the gate. But in That’s Not My Neighbor, every choice matters. These clever impersonators perfectly copy the residents from their appearance to their speech forcing you to analyze documents, double-check personal data and rely on intuition.
As the story unfolds, each visitor becomes a puzzle. Some forget their papers, others act oddly, and a few just feel… off. Small inconsistencies: a mismatched photo, a wrong apartment number, or a subtle hesitation could reveal an impostor.
Two game modes

Every encounter feels unique, keeping you alert and engaged as the story unfolds.
Conclusion: Open the door… with caution
That’s Not My Neighbor transforms an everyday job into a thought-provoking mystery about trust, observation, and human nature. Every knock may bring a surprise and every choice determines who belongs inside.
