Really fun game! I enjoy it a lot. I've recommended it to my friends. Here are a few quality-of-life comments/suggestions:
1.) Allow us to use the numpad on our keyboard to dial the phone. Dialing the rotary phone was fun and retro at first, but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I know it's not historically accurate but who cares? It makes thinks clunky and slow. Speaking of that...
2.) Allow us to summon the DDD by just pressing the button. Having to press the button AND call them is redundant and slows the game down.
3.) Allow us to change the length/duration of a game. Currently I believe it sends about 10 total people per game. It would be nice to have longer games or 15, 20, 25, 30, etc.
4.) Add Nightmare-level difficulty with "normal" people too. I was hoping that Nightmare difficulty would just be the normal people but with crazier doppelgangers + immediately being killed. The current Nightmare mode is fine too, but maybe call it Monster Mode or Evil Mode or something?
5.) Add more variety to the ways that doppels can trick us, and more subtle ways too. I've played dozens of games already but only seen doppels with the wrong ID numbers 1 or 2 times. I also saw a doppel with a misspelled name once... that would be another good, subtle clue if it appeared more often. Another one would be simply making them get other facts wrong, like giving the wrong job, the wrong apartment number/floor, etc. Also, minor visual clues like a twitching, blinking, drooling, etc. Lots of fun new ways to make doppels and to have them get discovered!
6.) There are a few minor mistranslations for English that I've noticed. At first I thought these were clues that people were doppels but after seeing them enough, I realized they were just simple grammar mistakes. I don't say this to be rude! I am willing to send you a list of these mistakes if you like, free of charge. I am a native English speaker with a university degree in English language and linguistics. Please let me know if you'd like any assistance fixing some of the grammar in the game.
Thanks again for this game, it's really fun! Doppelganger/impostor horror is one of the creepiest types of horror imo, so thanks for creating this game!
1) As much as not having to manually dial would be a nice quality of life change I do think it would take away from some of the charm. Maybe after earning a certain number of wins the phone can be replaced with a numberpad phone instead? Just a thought.
2) Again I think it adds to the charm. It slows you down sure but for me that's the feel the game is giving. The steps of closeing the shutter, picking up the phone and then manually dialing the DDD all feel like a way to pace the game out. I do see how it gets tedious after doing it 100 times however. (I myself have put a good amount of time into the game)
3) Would be a cool change I agree.
4) Yeah I also think this'll be pretty cool. Make the noraml difficulty super hard and much more subtle changes. (as a seperate mode or difficulty slider)
5) Think you've just been lucky/unlucky. I've had loads of wrong names and numbers. Heck some rounds I don't get a single appearence difference and all just document based changes. "like giving the wrong job, the wrong apartment number/floor, etc" They can have the wrong reason where it says "My apartment is floor 3 room 2". Sometimes that can say the wrong place. I agree on the apartment number and job though. I always check these just encase but they're always right.
6) Oh interesting! I've never noticed any myself (Native english speaker) but i'm just likely too ignorant to pay attention.
One quality of life change i'd like to personally see is the ability to cross people off the list. If I let someone in I think it'd be cool if I could open the list back up and just cross that person off. However I do see why maybe this won't be a good idea because at the momen the lack of ability to do this does add to having to memorize who you have and haven't let in yet. It also gives you an exucse to call their apartment to check if you already let them in. So this might not be a great quality of life change.
Something that could also be cool is the ability to earn money? Then spend that money ON quality of life upgrades. So like mentioned before about a numpad phone or like i just said with crossing people off. The ability to buy a numpad phone with points earned from playing or a pen would be kind of cool. Would make the game feel like there is more of an "end goal" even if it's to just unlock things.
loved the newest updates to the game! i also thought it was super cool to play unlikely in the game lol. keep the awesomely designed neighbors coming!! thanks nacho sama !!
Hey! The game is great but there is one small issue, the phone does not always work. Sometimes it works fine but other times the issue occurs and the only way to fix it is to quit and restart. I looked into it and saw that it may be an issue with the fixed camera but I tried turning that off too and it still does not work. I am playing on Mac and it seems this issue seems to mainly occur on Macs.
hi, I’m in Australia trying to buy this game on Windows. Everytime I try to pay for it, there is some error with my card or the processing and it just won’t work. Is that because I’m in Australia?
Hey, i dont know if its a bug or just my game but Roman came to the window without a hat and when i called to talk to his wife if he left it at home she didn't talk about it, even after i asked him about it. It could be just my game but still want to tell you. Thank you!
I've had some dopplegangers do that. When I ask them about their appearance, they usually say that they left it at home and to just trust them. When I then called their wife to check, it was never brought up.
Hey, I admit I haven't played the game yet, (saw some let's plays though) but I recently found there's a website (thatsnotmyneighbor dot org) that's posting your game for free. I found them because they are also posting my game for free, with an AI-generated description to boot.
First wanna say I genuinely love this game, the art style, sense of humor, and genuine detail required in pattern recondition are all super fun! It's something I play regularly and intend to continue doing so. However the one thing that really needs changing or removal is the nightmare clown. It's extremely disheartening to do everything right down to the last detail only to get beaten by a random number generator. Plus I think the game's RNG is bugged or is using AI training, as after the first three wins against the clown I've lost over a dozen times. Never winning even a single round. I've deleted and re-downloaded the game twice and this is still the case. I never even have a chance anymore. Every time I get a high card he gets either a +1 or wild. As much as it's good to cross promote games please remove the clown or make saying no actually get him to leave. It utterly ruins the nightmare mode experience. Won't be playing nightmare mode until the clown is removed or fixed to be much more fair.
Dear NachoSama. I appreciate the effort you put in the game. But the game is primarily a pattern recognition game. As such, I would appreciate an option to bypass the clown, as that is a different game all together. If I had wanted to play a casino style game, I would be playing one of those instead. It is rather frustrating to make it through nightmare by actually paying attention and engaging in the mechanics, only to lose because I now have to play a game steeped in RNG, that has nothing to do with the rest of the game. Could you please put an option in to disable the Clown?
hey I'm needing some help with the game. every time i start it up it goes to a black screen before shutting down I've tried all the recommended ways of fixing it but nothing works
I have been wanting to play this game for a while and have finally got around to it. I had no trouble downloading it but when I opened the game it just comes up as a black screen with a cursor. I can click on things but I can't see what I am clicking on, as it is still a totally black screen with a cursor. I am playing on windows. Is there a fix for this? I am really wanting to play this game, I'd hate to have to do a refund.
I bought this game a while ago, and originally downloading the windows version of the game did not work for me. ive come back to it now and it has downloaded and worked! but whenever i play the game, a line of black on my screen rises with the cursor while it is on the game’s screen. if i play out of fullscreen and move my cursor off the game‘s screen, the black will go away.
to make it more clear, as i move my cursor upwards while it is on the screen of the game, the screen will follow with a large black line from the bottom. if i were to be in fullscreen and reach the top of my pc screen with the cursor, the screen would be completely black. this has never happened before and i have no idea how to solve this issue. ive tried redownloading but no luck. thoughts?
Do you mean that MacOS won't let you run the app? If so, go into your Mac settings and into Privacy and Security tab, there will be a window with info that app cannot be checked and there will be button to run it anyway

after download it and I tried to open it always show this up. can anyone help me pleaseeeeee.
“That's not my neighbor-2” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Hi! You need to bypass apple security, you can do it by right clicking the game, click on open and then on open anyways.
You can also see other way to do it in the description on the game page in the devlog call "Read if you have problems with the game"
loved the newest updates to the game! i also thought it was super cool to play unlikely in the game lol. keep the awesomely designed neighbors coming!! thanks nacho sama !!
The Devil is indeed in the details!
Hey! The game is great but there is one small issue, the phone does not always work. Sometimes it works fine but other times the issue occurs and the only way to fix it is to quit and restart. I looked into it and saw that it may be an issue with the fixed camera but I tried turning that off too and it still does not work. I am playing on Mac and it seems this issue seems to mainly occur on Macs.
if you change the size of it in settings and then put it back to the orginal size you'll be able to use the phone. hope this helps!
also im on mac so i have the same problem lol ;-

Great work... reminds me of a game called Behind Enemy Lines. Great and entertaining game. I recommend you try it.

Un video mio sobre el logro mas dificil de este juego !!
I kinda wish you could see what doppels you catched and how at the end.
This game was fun, I was so skeptical of everyone on nightmare mode.
hey I'm needing some help with the game. every time i start it up it goes to a black screen before shutting down I've tried all the recommended ways of fixing it but nothing works

Have you tried "run as administrator" that's what I have to do for some of the games I download and make sure the file you download is extracted.
How do I contact someone about the payment being taken out twice out of my bank?
Contact itch.io themsleves if not try your bank or whatever you paid through
Hey! We need this on steam that would be fire
Hey, looks like there's a stolen version of the game on Google Play. You might want to get that shut down.
is the game in french? or will it be ?
Thank you for having a Linux port of this!
i bought the game a few months ago, and it wont let me update it. what can i do??
Hi I purchased your game today. It opens and runs until the opening words from the DDD. Then it stops responding. Is there anything I can do?
What a fun game. I'm having an amazing time, a ton of replay value.
hi i just downloaded the game on mindows and after it dowloaded and i clicked it to open it it wont open

Try adjusting your own graphics
Tengo algunas preguntas respecto al juego
¿Qué diferencia tiene la versión de pago VS la versión de google play?.
¿Saldrá el juego en Steam?
¿Si sale en Steam y lo compré aquí recibiría una clave de activación en steam?
Muchas gracias y disculpen las molestias.
EDIT: He comprado el juego ya, pero aun así seria bueno tener respuestas a esas preguntas :D
It won't let me download because apple can't check for malicious software. How to fix?
