My partner and I are playing through and are encountering the man with the bandana who quizzes you. We ended up looking up a walkthrough of the answers, but now we’re curious: could anyone elaborate on the cipher he uses? We know the answer to the riddle, we just want to know how we might go about deciphering it ourselves.
SPOILER WARNING TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TRY TO SOLVE IT THEMSELVES!!!
It's Caesar Cipher, and "hide" is a hint to how far we need to shift the letters through the alphabet (h - 8th letter of the English alphabet, i - 9, d - 4, e - 5)
END OF JUST A HINT IF YOU STILL WANT TO TRY IT YOURSELF. PROCEED FOR FULL EXPLANATION

Using any decoding tool (or being masochists and doing so ourselves) we decode the set of what looks like a random set of characters from the riddle 4 times, each time with a different shift parameter - 8, 9, 4 and 5 accordingly.
After all the fun, we receive 4 sets of characters:

If you take all the first letters from the first row, second from second, third from third and fourth from fourth and read them up-to-down you'll get this:
If you are on window you can try in file explorer click on address bar and type cmd, press enter, black console window gonna appear and in it you type(with quotes):
"That's not my neighbor.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3
That worked for me.
Alternatively if you are afride of cmd, you can open notepad app, copy command in it ("That's not my neighbor.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3), save it as run.bat, make sure file name ends with .bat and nothing else. Put your newly created file in same folder as game and just run that.
no me deja comprar el juego con tarjeta, agrego el nombre y numero de tarjeta, espero a que me llegue el correo pero nada, ya lo intente dos veces y no
I'm trying to play on my Macbook and it keeps saying "Software needs to be updated contact the developer" and that my computer cannot check it for malicious software
I know you've told us how to fix it if the phone does not work, however every single time I try to call 3312 for a doppelganger it does not work even after trying to fix it the way it's been stated, what can I do because I'd really like to fully play this game.
Check if you need to update your drivers, this bug seems to be something related to the pc itself because itsn't happen to everybody, it's just happening to a few of you.
If that doesn't work, so it seems that the game won't work properly on your pc, I'm sorry :c you can request a refund here: https://itch.io/support
hi, just came across a bug that wouldn't let me open a folder/click on certain apartments. Specifically it just started out as me not being able to click on floor 2 apartment 4, and then after I was unable to open the second floor folder at all
oh okay thank you sorry I thought it was compatible. I don’t think I want a refund yet I’ll just wait til I can get a PC to play it, it looks like a really fun game!
It's pretty random and it doesn't happen every game and not happen to everybody but if the phone stop working in the middle of the level to fix it just take the game out of full screen click the phone and dial one number and it's all good. Sometimes after it is fix it'll stop working again but just do the same thing to fix it.
Any chance you would be willing to remove the F*** word that shows up randomly. My kids would love this game and thats really the only thing thats not kid friendly. Is an awesome game though good work!
better idea, remove it for the base game but the vulgar can be a option for the game, like the base game is sfw but the option turns it from sfw to nsfw
I thought about it but it would be too easy for the kids to just click the option, I don't mind to removing the word, it is just that word and doesn't change the game at all, so it is ok.
Sweet Appreciate it! Thanks by the way for responding so quick and being open to the adjustment, I didn't really expect a reply haha but thats great. I think it's well suited for alot of ages which is what makes it great, also teaches kids some skills like paying attention to details and problem solving. Keep up the good work!
This game is really fun! The one issue I've had is Mclooy saying he's not on the list for a work emergency when he's retired, but it's still the real Mclooy
When she appears without her lazy eye, and you call her out on her appearance, there could be more things that happens. One, her eye becomes deviated right in front of you and the doppelganger says "my eye's always been like that." Or two, she tells you she had surgery to get her lazy eye fixed, which could actually be the truth– you'd need to verify it somehow though.
People having their moles removed could also be a possibility.

The audio gets crackly. The music and the sound effects too. How can I fix this?

WHAT IS THE SEVENTH PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Which is, indeed, Uranus :) Hope that helped!
Will Dopplegangers have an error in there entry requests where they say the room that they live in instead of where they have been in the Reason?
Both reasons can be valid and can be wrong.
I can't play the game. It says Vulkan Drive Error. What should I do? I really wanna play the game. So sad. I paid already.

had a problem and tried this, and it surprisingly worked! Thanks for that!
I just dowloaded linux for this game. how do i manually install it on there?
My game won't open? How do I tell if I have vulckan? it wont finish opening aaaa
I think it would be a cool integration to have twitch streaming add-on that allows viewers to be named as either as the neighbors or doppelgangers
Congrats on your game blowing up <3 <3 Take care!!
Uh, so, i already paid for my game and it's not letting me play it? I dont know what's going on or how to fix it but it's just not working for me.
For Nacha (and anybody else) when it says Right Eye Blue is that her right or my rtght?
Yes, their right, your left, check the pictures if you need
I'm from China, I need to use Alipay to buy games, but I can't use Alipay to buy games
Alternatively, it is suggested to list it on Steam
If I could purchase this game on Steam, I would be happy to purchase it

Please help, my game is always black while trying to run on Mac. I have uninstalled multiple times! i really want to play
Check if you need to update your drivers.
If that doesn't work well it seems that the game won't work properly on your pc, I'm sorry :c you can request a refund here: https://itch.io/support
I'm trying to play on my Macbook and it keeps saying "Software needs to be updated contact the developer" and that my computer cannot check it for malicious software
For Mac you need to bypass the warning message and opening anyway through security settings.
Go to System Preferences -> Secutiry & Privacy -> "Open Anway" -> (Type in password)
Or you can right click the application and click run. That way when it says it can't be scanned there will be an open anyway button.
Also check if you need to update your drivers.

My phone has stopped working. I have quit the game and reopened it three times and the phone stops working mid way through.
It's pretty random and it doesn't happen every game and not happen to everybody but if the phone stop working in the middle of the level to fix it just take the game out of full screen click the phone and dial one number and it's all good. Sometimes after it is fix it'll stop working again but just do the same thing to fix it.
just to be sure when they arent on todays list what do i do?
Question them and call their apartments to check if they are home or not.
Make that damn thing free
Love These Neighbors
I first saw this game on TikTok, and decided to play myself. It's super fun, I hope it gets updated very soon!
Any chance you would be willing to remove the F*** word that shows up randomly. My kids would love this game and thats really the only thing thats not kid friendly. Is an awesome game though good work!
Hi! ok I will remove it on the next update!
better idea, remove it for the base game but the vulgar can be a option for the game, like the base game is sfw but the option turns it from sfw to nsfw
I thought about it but it would be too easy for the kids to just click the option, I don't mind to removing the word, it is just that word and doesn't change the game at all, so it is ok.

COOL!!!
A Horror version of Papers Please
Is it just me; or Could Papers Please have been the inspiration of this game;
If It Is; That's amazing
If Not; I Love how similar it seems
awesome game! there is a mispelling in the credits on the second page, where it says "original characters desing" - I think you meant design..
Have a nice one!
Hi! Thank you!
Hoon...
Hoon Hoon ...
Can we please get a copy on steam ! I tried purchasing through itch.io and i get errors. Thank you
Hi! Maybe in the future, when I have a more complete version of the game, I will add more stuff!
even after i do every thing it says to do my screen is constantly black

Hi! Yes it is already fix it on the new update coming soon!
Its me or 3312 comes from Monsters Inc in spanish "Tenemos un 3312"
Exactamente! jajaja
Thank you!
Idea for Margarette Bubbles:
When she appears without her lazy eye, and you call her out on her appearance, there could be more things that happens. One, her eye becomes deviated right in front of you and the doppelganger says "my eye's always been like that." Or two, she tells you she had surgery to get her lazy eye fixed, which could actually be the truth– you'd need to verify it somehow though.
People having their moles removed could also be a possibility.
Woow I like the eye idea, it is sooo creepy, I love it!
Amazing game can't wait until its updated!!!
