Why these

If you're drawn to The Game's obsessive protagonist spiraling through webs of deception and suburban paranoia, you'd likely find similar ground in The Suspect, Final Move, or Chasing Shadows—all of which pivot on that same psychological chess match where proximity to mystery transforms investigation into self-destruction. There's a decent chance The Last Detective or Murder Is Easy might scratch the itch differently, swapping pure paranoia for the tension between genuine danger and delusion, though they lean slightly more toward resolution than The Game's ambiguous dread. The Jetty and Inside Out could work if you're specifically after that slow-burn uneasiness of an unsettling presence disrupting normalcy, though neither quite matches the narrative tightness of your reference point.
