          For two homotopic non-isomorphic chain complex, take any simplicial complex with a simplicial contraction, e.g. $EG$ for any finite group $G$. Then the extra degeneracy will give a chain homotopy from $C^{text{simp}}(EG, mathbb{Z})$ to the chain complex with $mathbb{Z}$ in degree $0$ and zero everywhere else. On the other hand $C^{text{simp}}_1(EG, mathbb{Z})=mathbb{Z}[G]$.



          For homologous chain complexes which are not homotopic, note that homotopic chain complexes are still homotopic after tensoring with any abelian group. Then the chain complexes
          $require{AMScd}
          begin{CD}
          ldots @>>> 0 @>>> mathbb{Z} @>times 2>> mathbb{Z} @>>> 0 @>>> ldots\
          @. @| @VV0V @VVtext{mod }2V @| @.\
          ldots @>>> 0 @>>> 0 @>>> mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z} @>>> 0 @>>> ldots
          end{CD}$

          are homologous, but after tensoring with $mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z}$ they are not. Hence they cannot be homotopic.
