About that's not my neighbor
Released in February 2024, That's Not My Neighbor offers a unique take on the "job simulator" genre, blending mundane tasks with chilling horror. Set in a 1955 apartment building, the game casts you as the doorman, a seemingly simple role quickly spiraling into a nightmarish ordeal.
While the core gameplay might initially resemble a typical job simulator—checking IDs, verifying residents, and managing the building's comings and goings—That's Not My Neighbor quickly subverts expectations. The quiet normalcy of the 1950s is shattered as you encounter increasingly strange and unsettling residents. Something is amiss in this building, and your job as a doorman becomes less about following protocol and more about discerning who is truly a resident and who... isn't.
The game's 2D presentation adds to the unsettling atmosphere, creating a sense of claustrophobia and unease. The limited perspective heightens the tension as you scrutinize faces, compare details, and try to avoid letting the wrong people in. What starts as a simple job quickly transforms into a desperate struggle to maintain order and perhaps even survive the night.
