‘My Friendly Neighborhood’: DreadXP’s Acclaimed Horror-Puppet Game Is Now Unleashed
Today’s a big day here at Dread. Our sister site DreadXP has at last released one of the year’s most hotly anticipated horror games, My Friendly Neighborhood. IGN called this bonkers release “Resident Evil meets Sesame Street,” and I’m inclined to agree. Are you ready to enter the neighborhood? Get the game below.
Official synopsis:
“My Friendly Neighborhood puts you into the work boots of Gordon, a repairman tasked with shutting down the sudden broadcast of a canceled children’s TV show titled The Friendly Neighborhood. Back in the day, the loveable show lit up TV screens and the smiling faces of children all across the world. Fans loved its colorful cast of kooky puppets who took them on educational adventures and delighted them with fun games. But the show’s popularity waned over time, and the studio had to ultimately shut its doors. Now the show’s characters are back on the air for an encore… wait, are they eating each other!?
Featuring a mix of action and adventure, My Friendly Neighborhood is the perfect game for horror fans looking for solid and surprising scares rather than gore. Sure, there might not be any dead bodies, dismemberment, or decapitations, but don’t expect your new puppet pals to stay down for good. They demand hugs — intense, painful hugs.”
Developed by brothers John and Evan Szymanski and published by DreadXP, My Friendly Neighborhood releases for Windows PC on Steam and Itch.io today. The release date for the PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X versions of the game will be announced later. Fans can grab My Friendly Neighborhood on Steam.
