Key Characters

The Caretaker (You)

As the protagonist, you're responsible for maintaining the Safe House and deciding who gets to stay. Your backstory is customizable, but you share a common goal with all players: survival and protecting humanity.

Your decisions throughout the game will shape the story and determine which of the multiple endings you experience. Remember that trust is a luxury in this world, but so is isolation.

Dr. Eleanor Hart

A former microbiologist who has been studying the phenomenon behind the not-humans. She provides valuable information about identifying the infected and has a plan to find a cure.

Her obsession with finding answers sometimes makes her take risks that others would avoid. Can she be trusted, or has her pursuit of knowledge blinded her to the dangers around her?

Marcus

The leader of a nearby survivor group. He's pragmatic to a fault and believes in sacrificing the few to save the many. His methods are controversial, but his group has the highest survival rate in the area.

Marcus has a strict policy regarding not-humans: no second chances. His interactions with you will test your own moral boundaries and force you to question what it truly means to be human.

Lila

A young girl who seems to have a unique connection with the not-humans. She can sense their presence before they arrive and sometimes claims to understand what they're saying.

Her abilities make her both valuable and dangerous. Some believe she's the key to understanding the not-humans, while others think she's already been compromised.

Visitor Behaviors & Patterns

Understanding how visitors behave can be the difference between life and death. Here are some common patterns to watch for:

The Interview

When a new visitor arrives, you'll have the opportunity to interview them. Pay attention to their body language, tone of voice, and the consistency of their story. Humans will show natural signs of nervousness, while not-humans might be too calm or overly dramatic.

Daily Interactions

Once a visitor is allowed to stay, observe how they interact with others. Humans will form relationships, have disagreements, and show a range of emotions. Not-humans will struggle with these social dynamics and may repeat behaviors or phrases they've observed.

Stress Responses

Create controlled stressful situations to see how visitors react. Humans will have natural fight-or-flight responses, while not-humans might respond in unexpected ways or not at all. This is a risky strategy but can be effective when other methods fail.

Frequently Asked Questions About Visitors

How can I tell the difference between a very good mimic and a human?

The key is to look for inconsistencies over time. Even the best mimics will eventually contradict themselves or show behavior that doesn't match their supposed personality or backstory. Pay attention to small details and trust your instincts.

Can infected humans be cured?

According to Dr. Hart's research, early-stage infections might be reversible, but there's no guarantee. The longer someone has been infected, the less likely they are to recover. In most cases, it's safer to assume that infected individuals can't be saved.

Why do the not-humans want to get into the Safe House?

This is still not fully understood. Some theories suggest they're drawn to human emotion and consciousness, while others believe they want to eliminate the last remaining pockets of humanity. Whatever their motivation, letting them in always leads to disaster.

Are there any other characters I should be aware of?

Yes, No I'm not a Human features a dynamic cast of characters that varies based on your decisions and playthrough. Some characters only appear in specific story branches or endings, adding to the game's replayability.
