That’s Not My Neighbor

In That's not my Neighbor, players take on the role of a doorman in a 1955 apartment building. Gameplay itself is very similar to Papers, Please with one notable exception — the neighborhood is being plagued by doppelgangers (monsters that mimic humans). As the new doorman, it's up to you to carefully check documents, scrutinize appearances, and call tenants to clarify information. Failure means becoming dinner for doppelgangers and putting the building's human occupants at risk. Please note this game has not been rated by ESRB or PEGI. Special thanks to YouTuber ManlyBadassHero for playing through this game, allowing us to pull a lot of this information from their video.
