No, I'm not a zombie
No, I'm not a zombie - Play Online
You're the last line of defense during a zombie apocalypse, and everyone wants into your bunker. No, I'm not a zombie is a visual novel horror game where you play paranoid doorman, deciding who's human and who's infected—except they all claim they're fine. Think Papers, Please meets a low-budget horror meme with jump scares. Your goal? Survive each night by grilling strangers through your door, spotting the zombies before they bite, and not accidentally shooting innocent people. It's simple, creepy, and weirdly addictive for a browser game.

- Day/Night Cycle Gameplay: Accept visitors at night, then investigate them during the day before the sun kills you all.

How to Play No, I'm not a zombie
The mechanics are dead simple, but the paranoia hits hard.
Night Phase: Choosing Your Houseguests
You stand at your door while strangers knock, begging for shelter. Each one gives you a sob story. You click to either let them in or turn them away. There's no obvious tell yet—everyone looks desperate. Your home fills up fast, and you won't know who's infected until morning.
Day Phase: The Interrogation Game
Now the real game starts. You go person-by-person, asking questions through dialogue prompts. Watch their answers. Look for weird behavior. Each investigation costs energy (shown as a lightning bolt icon), so you can't check everyone. When you're suspicious, you hit the "Shoot" button. If they were human, you get a bag of money but lose morality points. If they were a zombie, you survive another round.
Surviving the Outbreak
The goal is to last as many nights as possible without getting bitten or running out of resources. Miss a zombie, and you get a jump scare death screen. Shoot too many humans, and the game punishes you. It's a weird balance between paranoia and resource management, with meme-worthy character designs that look like AI fever dreams.
Who is No, I'm not a zombie for?
This is a perfect time-killer for teens who grew up on creepypasta and TikTok horror trends. If you liked That's Not My Neighbor or those "spot the imposter" viral games, you'll get the appeal immediately. It's not scary enough for hardcore horror fans, but it's great for a quick adrenaline hit during a lunch break. Casual players will appreciate that you can finish a session in under 10 minutes. Just don't expect deep storytelling—it's more meme than masterpiece.
The Gameplay Vibe
Honestly? It feels like a game made for YouTube thumbnails. The art style is all over the place—some characters look like distorted stock photos, others are cartoonish, and everything has that fish-eye lens filter slapped on to look "creepy." The atmosphere is more unsettling than genuinely scary, like a low-budget horror short you'd find on Reddit. Audio is minimal—mostly ambient drones and sudden sting sounds when you screw up. It's not polished, but that jank somehow works for the meme-horror aesthetic. You'll either love the campy vibe or hate how cheap it looks.
Technical Check: Saves & Performance
The game saves your progress automatically using browser cache, so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off—just don't clear your cookies or you'll start over. Performance-wise, it runs smooth on pretty much anything. The graphics are basic 2D stills with text overlays, so even an old laptop or cheap phone can handle it without lag. No downloads, no install—just click and play.
Quick Verdict: Pros & Cons
A goofy, addictive horror snack that's more fun than it has any right to be.
