NO, I'M NOTA HUMAN
No, I'm not a Human is a first‑person horror visual novel where you survive a scorched world by deciding who to shelter at night and how to verify them by day. Each morning a TV broadcast reveals a new, often misleading tell; you manage a finite energy bar to inspect guests, then choose whether to listen or pull the trigger. Admit at least one human to deter the Intruder, and weigh the risks from government checks, vigilantes, and a doomsday cult.

Survival Strategy
In No, I'm not a Human, the pressure comes from limited verification and irreversible choices. Solar heat pushes people to your door each night; you must admit at least one human to avoid being overwhelmed by the Intruder while keeping Visitors out.
Use the TV hint, then inspect
Each day a broadcast reveals a new physical sign. Cross‑check it during daytime dialogs and photo checks before you commit to sheltering someone.
Budget your energy
Energy dictates how many body parts you can examine. Spend it on high‑signal checks; you can also end the day early by drinking beer if needed.
Decide to listen—or shoot
After an exam, you can execute a suspect or hear their explanation. There are no direct penalties for killing a human by mistake, but sparing a Visitor risks deaths at night.
Expect external pressure
Events include a forced entry by the Intruder if you live alone, a government worker requesting a guest for testing, an armed vigilante examining you, and a doom cult causing trouble.
Visitor Identification
Visitor tells in No, I'm not a Human are circumstantial—humans can show some signs, and not all Visitors show all signs. Guests may refuse exams. Treat each as a weighted signal, not a verdict.
False positives
- Stress, injury, or grief can mimic several tells
- Some Visitors exhibit none of the current‑day signs
- Guests do not always consent to every examination
Version differences
- Anthology prototype included blurred photos as a sign
- Expanded 2025 demo updated the check list
