* {{Gonk}}: Even some of the humans aren't guaranteed to be lookers. For instance, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thats-not-my-neighbor/images/8/87/Roman_HD.png/revision/latest?cb=20240501202024 Roman Stilnsky]], the accountant, looks a bit like a cranky Muppet.

* NeverBareheaded: Mclooy Rudboys is explicitly stated to ''ALWAYS'' wear his white ten-gallon hat, so if he shows up without it, that's 100% a doppelganger. There's a chance that other hat-wearing residents may show up without theirs as well, but they might've just left it at home that day and a quick call to their apartment (provided their wife is at home) will clear that up.

* IdenticalTwinMistake: To complicate matters further, two residents in the building are twin models, with their only distinction being they have beauty marks on opposite cheeks. Thus, there's at least one duplicate with one "off" detail you actually are supposed to let in. Fortunately, they can also be identified by their different earrings and clothing colors.

* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Some doppelgangers can look perfectly like the person they're trying to impersonate, but their documents may be fake (i.e., no D.D.D. signature, expired ID), they're not on the list and don't have a good reason for it, or the person they're impersonating is ''already at home'', giving them away.

** Another resident, Steven Rudboys. Bears a resemblance to [[Film/TaxiDriver Travis Bickle]].

* PokemonSpeak: All Peach the doppelganger can say is "Peach"; even their ''documents'' say nothing but the word "Peach".

* PokemonSpeak: All Peach the doppelganger can say is "Peach".

* BigGood: The D.D.D., for a given measure of "good". They don't care much that their doormen keep dropping like flies and have no issue putting you, a rookie who mostly took the job because they needed the money, in life-threatening danger with no training whatsoever. That being said, they will always come when you call and take care of the doppelganger quickly and cleanly while you yourself are allowed to wait the clean-up out in your safe fortified booth.
* BlatantLies: Some doppelgangers really don't do a good job of impersonating. When caught in an inconsistency, a doppelganger will also result to making obvious excuses to convince you to let it in anyway.

** Some doppelgangers get their human disguises almost right with only one or two small details being incorrect. If you don't pay enough attention you might very well open the door for an impersonator and only realize once it's far too late.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Due to the first person perspective we don't get a look at the player character's appearance.
* {{Gonk}}: Even the some of the humans aren't guaranteed to be lookers.

* LOL69: The phone number of the apartment where the twin models live in is 6996.

* OneHitPointWonder: All it takes to get you killed at the end of the day is letting in a single doppelganger, meaning that you have absolutely no room for error with them if you want to survive. It's possible to survive if you get your innocent neighbours mistakenly disposed of, though, as long as you didn't let in any doppelgangers.

* {{Touche}}: Doppelgangers who have an otherwise seamless disguise but forget a detail in their documents may outright drop the facade and admit you caught them as they await the D.D.D.

* NothingIsScarier: While the main thing is their rather laughable attempts at human disguises, we're otherwise almost completely left in the dark about doppelgangers. All we know about their true forms is that they're green with claws, and their origins are entirely a mystery, for they could be [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[AlienInvasion aliens]], [[TheFairFolk fae]], or or something else entirely.

-->'''Doppelganger:''' Today's list? [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck.]] Well I didn't count on that, you caught me. What are you going to do about it? Go ahead, call your D.D.D. friends. They will never be able to finish us off, in the end we will achieve our goal.

* CompanyCrossReferences: A man in a clown mask randomly shows up only to hand you a piece of paper. It has a headshot of a MonsterClown and reads as a warning to not play any games with him, with a link to another itch.io game for more info. This is the clown from ''VideoGame/{{Unlikely}}'', another game by Nacho Sama.

In the year 1955, monsters with the ability to mimic humans called {{doppelganger}}s have become an everyday nuisance. As the new doorman of your apartment building it is your job to discern sneaky doppelgangers who wish to infiltrate from regular tenants just looking to go home. But careful! Should you fail both you and the tenants are going to be on the menu.

** Some doppelgangers impersonating Dr. W. Afton have ''Franchise/StarWars'' references in their credentials, such as "R2D2" and "CP3O" in place of "Dr. W.".

''That's not my Neighbor'' is a 2D job simulator and horror game created by Nacho Sama. It was released on February the 24th, 2024 and is exclusively playable on ''Platform/MicrosoftWindows''. It's available for a small price on its [[https://nachogames.itch.io/thats-not-my-neighbor itch.io page]]. The game is currently incomplete and is still being worked on. The game was inspired by ''VideoGame/PapersPlease'', but with a horror twist.\\

* TheFifties: As the D.D.D. worker in the intro is kind enough to inform you, the game takes place in February of 1955.

* BureaucracySimulator: You play as the doorman for an entire apartment building, tasked with checking [=ID=]s, whether the subject who wishes to enter is listed and whether they are who they say they are. With the slight twist that you're dealing with something far worse than possible burglars or con-artists.

* ShoutOut: One of the residents' names is [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Dr. W. Afton]].

* IdenticalTwinMistake: To complicate matters further, two residents in the building are twin models, with their only distinction being they have beauty marks on opposite cheeks. Thus, there's at least one duplicate with one "off" detail you actually are supposed to let in.
