No I'm not a Human - Free Online Horror Simulation Game

No I'm not a human - Fan Site. Everything you need to know about the hit horror game including news, guides, reviews and more.

What the hell is this game?

Let me put it this way: Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Is that really me?" Well, multiply that feeling by a thousand, add some tentacles where they definitely shouldn't be, and set it in a town where everyone's either hiding from something or slowly turning into something they're not. That's "No I'm not a human" in a nutshell.

You wake up in an alley in Hollow's End, a once-nice town that took a wrong turn somewhere between "quaint" and "apocalyptic nightmare fuel." Your head's pounding, your memories are about as reliable as a politician's promise, and there's this weird itching under your skin that definitely wasn't there yesterday. Oh, and did I mention the town's population now consists mostly of things that used to be human but decided to evolve in all the wrong directions?

How do you play this messed-up masterpiece?

Good question! Think of it as a survival horror game that forgot to read the rulebook. You'll explore the decaying town of Hollow's End, scavenge for supplies like you're collecting Pokémon (but instead of Pikachu, you're grabbing batteries and bandages), and try not to become a midnight snack for the locals.

But here's the twist that makes this game stand out like a sore thumb (or a third arm): You're not entirely human either. As the game progresses, you'll start developing... let's call them "unique abilities." Maybe you can see in complete darkness, but your eyes glow like a flashlight. Maybe you can heal quickly, but it makes you crave things that would make a vegan cry. Maybe you can communicate with the other "changed" beings, but doing so makes you question your own grip on reality.

Every time you use these abilities, you become a little less human. The more you lean into your newfound powers, the easier survival becomes... but the harder it is to remember why you were fighting to stay human in the first place. It's like choosing between taking painkillers that work but make you a little crazy, or suffering through the pain but keeping your sanity. Spoiler: There's no good choice here.

The Core Game Loop (Or: How You'll Be Spending Your Evenings)

1. Explore: Wander through the creepy, atmospheric streets of Hollow's End. Check every drawer, cabinet, and abandoned car for useful junk. Just don't be surprised if something decides to check you out in return.

2. Survive: Manage your resources like a paranoid squirrel. Ammo? Good luck. Medkits? Even better luck. Batteries for your flashlight? You'll be hoarding those like they're made of gold. And whatever you do, try not to make too much noise. The neighbors are light sleepers, and they're not exactly friendly.

3. Decide: Every encounter, every conversation, every time you're backed into a corner, you'll have to make choices. Do you use your human side and try to sneak past that thing with too many teeth? Or do you let your... other side take over and risk becoming something you might not recognize in the mirror?

4. Remember: Find clues, letters, recordings, and other bits of the past that slowly piece together what happened to Hollow's End... and what's happening to you. Just be warned: some truths are better left buried. Especially the ones about your own past.

5. Repeat: Die. Learn. Try again. Question your life choices. Repeat until you either save the town, become part of the problem, or curl up in a corner whimpering. (No judgment either way.)

Pro Tips & Strategies (From Someone Who's Died 47 Times)

Let me save you some pain (but not all of it, because where's the fun in that?):

- Less is more with abilities: Yeah, being able to phase through walls sounds cool, but have you seen what happens to your hands afterward? Use your powers sparingly unless you're really, really out of options.

- Listen more than you look: The game's sound design is incredible, and those creaks and whispers aren't just for show. You can hear enemies before you see them, which might just save your skin.

- Read everything: The world-building is top-notch, and those little notes and letters aren't just flavor text. They often contain clues about puzzles, enemy weaknesses, and hidden supplies.

- Save often, but wisely: Save points are limited, and using them all in one area will leave you crying later when you have to replay 45 minutes of gameplay because you forgot to save before that big boss fight. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.

- Don't trust anyone: Humans, non-humans, that cute little dog that follows you for a bit... trust no one. This town will chew you up and spit you out faster than you can say "I'm not feeling so good."

Why We Play This Torture Fest (Spoiler: We're All A Little Crazy)

Let's be real: Why do we voluntarily subject ourselves to games that make us jump, scream, and sleep with the lights on? With "No I'm not a human," it's not just about the scares (though there are plenty of those). It's about the story.

This game asks big questions: What does it mean to be human? Is our humanity something in our DNA, or in our choices? If you look different, act different, crave different things, are you still you?

And it doesn't give easy answers. The characters are complex, the choices are morally gray, and the endings... let's just say you'll be thinking about them long after you've stopped playing. Some will leave you satisfied, some will leave you devastated, and one in particular will make you want to throw your controller across the room (in the best way possible).

Plus, the atmosphere is unmatched. The developers nailed that feeling of creeping dread, that sense that something's watching you from just outside your field of vision. The sound design will make your skin crawl, the graphics are just realistic enough to be unsettling, and the town itself feels like a character with its own personality (a very depressed, angry personality).

Advanced Survival Strategies

Visitor Identification Mastery: The key to survival in Hollow's End is learning to distinguish between real humans and dangerous Visitors. Look for subtle behavioral patterns - unnatural speech cadences, repetitive movements, or inappropriate emotional responses. Visitors often have slight physical anomalies that become more apparent the longer you observe them.

Resource Optimization: Always prioritize batteries over ammunition. Darkness is your greatest enemy, and a working flashlight can mean the difference between life and death. Learn which areas respawn resources and establish efficient scavenging routes.

Ability Management: Your transformation abilities are powerful tools, but each use brings you closer to becoming something... other. Use them strategically - save your most powerful abilities for critical situations, and always consider the long-term consequences.

Game World Secrets

Hidden Areas: Hollow's End contains numerous hidden locations that aren't marked on any map. Look for subtle environmental clues - slightly different textures, unusual object placements, or faint sounds that might indicate hidden passages.

Lore Collection: The game's story is told through environmental storytelling. Read every note, listen to every recording, and examine every detail. Many of the game's deepest secrets are hidden in plain sight, waiting for observant players to discover them.

Multiple Playthrough Benefits: The game is designed to be played multiple times. Your choices in one playthrough can unlock new content in subsequent runs, and certain story elements only become apparent when you've seen the game from different perspectives.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions From Terrified Players)

Is this game too scary for someone who gets spooked easily? +
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yeeeeees. This game doesn't rely just on jump scares (though there are a few), but on that slow, building tension that makes you want to pause the game and take a walk. If you're the type who sleeps with the lights on after watching a PG-13 horror movie, maybe start with something a little tamer. Like "Doom."
How long is the game? +
Your first playthrough will probably take around 8-10 hours if you take your time exploring. But with multiple endings and hidden secrets, most people end up playing through at least twice. Some completionists have sunk 30+ hours into finding every little Easter egg.
Is there multiplayer? +
Nope, it's strictly single-player. And honestly, thank goodness. Can you imagine trying to coordinate with a friend while being chased by something that used to be a math teacher but now has tentacles? The panic alone would make voice chat unbearable.
Are there different difficulty settings? +
Yes! There's "I want to enjoy the story without wetting myself" (easy), "I like a challenge but still want to sleep at night" (normal), and "Please make it stop I'm scared" (hard). Even the easy mode will give you a few frights, though, so don't get too comfortable.
Does the story actually make sense, or is it just random scary stuff? +
The story is surprisingly coherent, especially for a horror game. There are plenty of mysteries, but by the end, you'll have most of the answers you're looking for. And unlike some horror games that rely on vague, nonsensical plots, everything in "No I'm not a human" connects in a way that feels satisfying (if deeply unsettling).
