No I'm not a Human - Complete Gameplay Guide
Master the paranoia-driven horror experience with our comprehensive guide to game mechanics, energy management, and survival strategies. Learn to distinguish between genuine human survivors and dangerous Visitors in this apocalyptic nightmare.
Core Game Mechanics
Understanding the fundamental systems that drive this paranoia-inducing survival experience
🌅 The Apocalyptic Setting
No I'm not a Human takes place during an apocalyptic scenario where the sun is approaching dangerously close to Earth. During the day, the extreme heat causes people outside to literally melt, forcing everyone to seek shelter indoors.
As a survivor with shelter, desperate guests will knock on your door seeking protection. Your challenge is to distinguish between genuine human survivors and dangerous Visitors - alien creatures that have taken human form to infiltrate and eliminate the remaining human population.
🖱️ Point-and-Click Investigation
The game operates as a point-and-click survival experience where you investigate guests through various interactions:
- Talking to guests: Free action that provides dialogue clues about their identity
- Physical examination: Costs energy but reveals critical physical traits
- Room searching: Investigate guest belongings for additional evidence
- Behavioral observation: Watch for suspicious actions or responses
Energy Management System
Energy is the most critical resource in the game. Master its usage to survive.
⚡ Understanding Daily Energy
Energy is the most critical resource in No I'm not a Human. You receive a limited amount each day, and once depleted, the day automatically ends, forcing you to face the consequences of your decisions.
💰 Energy Costs:
- Talking to guests:FREE
- Physical examination:1 Energy
- Room investigation:1-2 Energy
- Item examination:1 Energy
🎯 Optimal Energy Usage Strategy
Start with free conversations
Talk to all guests first to gather initial impressions and dialogue clues.
Check daily news
Morning news often reveals new Visitor identification signs - crucial information.
Prioritize suspicious guests
Use energy on guests who exhibit concerning behavior or dialogue patterns.
Focus on key physical traits
Don't waste energy on minor details - concentrate on the four main Visitor indicators.
Save energy for emergencies
Always keep some energy in reserve for unexpected situations.
Guest Interaction Basics
Learn how to safely assess new arrivals and categorize different character types
Always Human
These characters are 100% safe in every playthrough:
- • Tall Man
- • Neighbor's Daughter
- • Burned Man
- • Mourning Widow
Always Visitors
Eliminate these immediately when identified:
- • Angry Man
- • Amogus T-shirt Guy
- • Fortune Teller
- • Cashier Girl
Variable Characters
Other guests vary between human and Visitor status across different playthroughs.
Require careful investigation using physical trait examination.
Visitor Identification Basics
Master the four key physical traits that expose dangerous Visitors
⚠️ Critical Warning
Never trust a single sign! Even humans can appear suspicious in the apocalypse.
You need at least TWO confirmed traits to safely identify a Visitor - never rely on just one sign.
Perfect White Teeth
Visitors have unnaturally perfect, gleaming white teeth that stand out during conversations or examinations.
Dirty/Black Nails
Look for fingernails that appear unusually dirty or blackened, contrasting with otherwise clean appearance.
Severely Bloodshot Eyes
Eyes that are intensely red and bloodshot, more severe than normal tiredness or stress.
Completely Hairless Armpits
Visitors lack any armpit hair, which can be checked during physical examinations.
Essential Survival Strategies
Critical rules and advanced tips to survive the paranoid nightmare
🚨 The Critical Night 4 Rule
You MUST have at least one guest in your home on Night 4.
When the shirtless "Intruder" arrives and asks if you're alone, you must answer "No" and have someone present to survive.
This means you cannot eliminate every guest, even if you suspect them. Always maintain at least one confirmed human guest for the Night 4 encounter. Being alone when the Intruder arrives results in immediate game over.
🛡️ Advanced Survival Tips
Energy Conservation:
- • Always exhaust free conversation options first
- • Focus investigations on genuinely suspicious behavior
- • Don't waste energy on clearly safe "Always Human" characters
- • Save energy for unexpected late-day arrivals
Risk Management:
- • Eliminate confirmed Visitors immediately
- • Keep one confirmed human for Night 4 safety
- • Monitor guest interactions for behavioral changes
- • Trust patterns over single suspicious incidents
💀 Common Fatal Mistakes to Avoid
Eliminating all guests
This guarantees death on Night 4 when the Intruder arrives
Relying on single traits
One suspicious feature doesn't confirm Visitor status
Ignoring daily news
Missing new Visitor identification information
Energy wastage
Using energy on obvious humans or minor details
Hasty decisions
Making elimination choices without sufficient evidence
