That's Not My Neighbor

Your job isn't just about checking IDs; it's about meticulously scrutinizing each person who wants to enter, looking for subtle yet sinister differences that betray their true, otherworldly nature.

The game masterfully builds tension. Each encounter is a mini-puzzle, forcing you to pay close attention to details. A misplaced mole, an odd expression, or inconsistencies in their documents can be the tell-tale signs that you're facing a Duplicate. The stakes are high, as letting one of these imposters in can have… unpleasant consequences, I imagine!

The 1955 setting adds a layer of atmosphere, with its classic aesthetic and a sense of underlying Cold War paranoia that subtly enhances the feeling of unease. It’s a brilliant backdrop for this kind of slow-burn horror where the threat isn't always overtly monstrous but rather a creeping sense that something is fundamentally wrong.

Nacho Sama has really tapped into something special with that's not my neighbor. It’s a testament to how a unique concept and well-executed tension can create a memorable horror experience, even within the constraints of a 2D, seemingly simple premise. The game's popularity since its release in February 2024 speaks volumes about its effectiveness in getting under players' skin. Have you had a chance to play it yourself?
