No, I’m not a Human

No, I’m not a Human is a narrative-heavy identity exploration game that blends mystery, social deception, and subtle science fiction. You play a character in a human society while hiding a dangerous truth: you’re something else. The challenge lies in behaving convincingly while deciding whether to conceal your true nature or let it shape the world around you.

Blending In Among the Crowd

At the beginning, No, I’m not a Human drops players into a dense, urban setting filled with character interactions and decisions. Every conversation, movement, and emotional reaction is evaluated for “humanity compliance.” Pass, and your secret remains hidden. Fail, and you risk exposure—or liberation.

• Behavior Scan: An internal system constantly compares your choices to expected human responses.
• Emotion Replication: Mimic laughter, anger, or confusion through dialogue cues and mini-games.
• Observation Mode: Study human NPCs to learn common patterns and safe dialogue lines.

Secrets, Surveillance, and Suspicion

As the game progresses, characters become increasingly suspicious of your odd behavior. You must decide who to trust, what parts of your story to edit, and when to manipulate others to protect your identity. Your behavior branches into three paths—assimilation, revelation, or domination.

1. Memory Fabrication: Inject false backstories to cover up errors in conversation.
2. Code-Switching: Speak in different registers depending on the social context to avoid detection.
3. Data Leak Events: Prevent other characters from accessing files that hint at your origins.

Unlockable Powers and Dangerous Decisions

Eventually, your character’s nature manifests. You gain unique powers that risk exposure but offer game-altering benefits. Choosing when—or if—to use them is a major aspect of the gameplay, creating tension between survival and transformation.

• Perception Blur: Momentarily disable an NPC’s awareness to escape or manipulate.
• Chrono Recall: Reverse a conversation to change its outcome—but only once per day.
• Voice Override: Hijack someone else’s speech to deliver your own truth through them.

No, I’m not a Human examines the thin lines between identity, adaptation, and deception. Whether you hide forever or reveal yourself in defiance, the choices are yours—and the consequences ripple outward with every act.
