That's Not My Neighbor is a dramatic game with a horror story that attracts you. The lives of everyone in the game depend on your rigorous examination steps.
Coming to the game, you will learn more about the concept of doppelganger or replacement. Originating from a story of unknown origin, Doppelgangers are entities capable of stealing human identities. With the creativity of the gaming world and analog horror, this motif has transformed to become more diverse and rich. But instead of experiencing these creatures, what if we personally hunt down and capture them and then hand them over to the organization? It will certainly be very interesting!
The game first appeared at the end of February (February 23, 2024). That's Not My Neighbor was created by a programmer named Nacho Sama. It is possible to say that the game has gameplay similar to “Beholder”. This game allows you to play the role of an apartment manager in a totalitarian country. Your job is to keep an eye on your tenants, report any suspicious activity to the authorities, and make difficult choices that can have far-reaching consequences. What about the game That's Not My Neighbor? The biggest difference in this game lies in your role. At this point, the game has been limited and you only need to control the entry and exit process of residents in a building. It sounds simple but the truth is completely different. As its name suggests, you may encounter the danger related to your neighbors. They are not simply a bad person intending to break in and steal property. In fact, they are doppelgangers.
That's Not My Neighbor takes you to experience many different perspectives on the world of doppelgangers. Let's explore the steps and ways to distinguish the duplicates right now.
Basically, doppelgangers are mysterious entities whose appearance is similar to that of a certain individual. The question now is how to recognize the existence of a doppelganger in the game. We will go through each step of checking as follows:
Step 1: Pay attention to the window that appears on the game screen, that is where the neighbors show up to ask to enter the building.
Step 2: Click on the list on the left side of the window, the content will include all the people allowed to enter the building that day.
Step 3: Check relevant information from the neighbor's identification number, house number, and identifying characteristics.
Step 4: If all the information matches, mark v on the checklist paper and then open the door.
There is a feature that you need to pay attention to. When the neighbor is wrongly dealt with, you will still survive. But if any doppelganger accidentally enters the apartment, at the end of your shift you will be murdered by this entity.
Let me take you an example. The neighbor appearing in the window is Arnold Schmicht. He has a travel permit. This is a reason you can temporarily accept. Next, we need to check the room number of the subject here, written as Arnold Schmicht F02-01, which is room 1, 2nd floor. Check the apartment map on the right side of the window and you will find detailed information about this person. The description shows that he has big eyebrows, a prominent mustache, a round face, and short hair and wears a hat. At this point, you think everything is correct, right? Not done yet, you still have to check this neighbor's identification documents. Compared with documents, if the identification number is correct and the expiration date is guaranteed to be after February 1955, all verification procedures are almost complete. After you have checked everything and all the information matches, open the door to let him in. When he leaves, remember to close the door immediately. If you forget, someone else will automatically come in.
When participating in the game, you will see that dealing with twins is not easy. Here we can divide them into two types including complete and incomplete duplicates.
The doppelganger is not complete. For incomplete doppelgangers, identification by looking at their identification cards is extremely easy because their faces are sometimes very monstrously deformed. At that time, immediately press the notification bell to block the target, then use the phone to call 3312, this is the hotline of DDD (Doppelganger Detection Department), the organization that hired us to protect them and they will be there. Responsibility for handling duplicate objects.
In case you are faced with a perfect doppelganger, you will face more difficulties. These doppelgangers are created extremely methodically. Their appearances can be up to 99% similar. To identify the perfect doppelganger, you need to rely on your argument skills and the evidence you collect to verify he is not your neighbor. For example, if a new guy walks in and doesn't show his passport or ID, you will check the checklist and ask him questions. This person said that he had forgotten and immediately presented his license to his friend with the excuse that he was going out on an unexpected matter. This reason is very satisfactory so you will move on to the next checking steps. Then check through the information from identification characteristics to an identification number, all are correct. His house phone number was written on the room papers. Call this number and discover that the person who answered the phone was this man. So it's clear that the real person is in the house and the person standing in front of you is definitely a perfect double. Call DDD immediately to come to catch this doppelganger.
The game is set in the fantasy scene of the 50s of the last century when the government is facing a serious crisis. The doppelgangers have increased dramatically in number, increasingly blending into residential communities. To solve this problem, the DDD identification and development agency was established. As its name suggests, this agency is behind all developments in the game. They are the only agency with the authority to handle reports. related.
The character in the game is named Henry who will be responsible for checking people entering and leaving the apartment. Another character that attracts your attention is the DDD employee. Throughout the entire game, we hardly meet any of them, the only person who encounters us is a mysterious employee. Based on appearance, we see that this person is wearing a full-body Hazmat suit. After completing the job instructions for the main character at the beginning of the game, this person immediately left in a hurry. But the clues and suspicious actions from DDD to the people working under them all cannot help but make us wonder if they are also hiding something.
Some details are questionable for the organization. They do not care that the person they hire can lose their life at any time. Please pay attention that you will not be trained when you get the job and become an official employee. This is again in the organization's calculations because they know for sure that we will not live long. This brings up a hypothesis that perhaps in the double treatment protocol set by the DDD organization, the first contact is considered the period of greatest danger. During the game, you will realize that their processing takes place very quickly and neatly when you discover the doppelgangers and call the organization. You can continue your work immediately afterward, but in the worst case, you will die. But what the organization does next is simply come and scoop up your bodies in a split second and that's it. This is a clever way of handling the organization. They will not be affected in any way and only you will lose your life without any further recourse. One suspicious detail in the game is that no matter how many people you mistakenly handle. DDD didn't notice until the end of the shift and there was no punishment given to discipline the employee's mistakes. main object. And this means the only thing they care about is the doppelgangers. From the above details, it can be concluded that the DDD organization is suspected of collecting duplicates for experimentation and research. If the research is successful, these doppelgangers will be top intelligence agents able to steal human information and effectively manipulate power.
