Indie horror publisher DreadXP delighted fans at the PC Gaming Show with the recent announcement of the release date for their upcoming comedy horror game, My Friendly Neighborhood. On July 18, 2023 this thrilling puppet-filled adventure arrived on Windows PC. But that’s not all; the game is also set to make its way to PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X at a later date.

Step into the shoes of Gordon, a repairman with the daunting task of shutting down the unexpected broadcast of the canceled children’s TV show, The Friendly Neighborhood. This beloved show once enchanted kids worldwide with its vibrant cast of kooky puppets, educational adventures, and fun games. However, the popularity of the show faded, leading to its closure. Now, the puppets are back on the air, but there’s something amiss—are they devouring each other?

My Friendly Neighborhood offers a delightful mix of action and adventure, making it an ideal choice for horror fans seeking surprising scares rather than excessive gore. While there may not be dismemberment or decapitations, prepare for your new puppet acquaintances to keep coming back. They demand intense, bone-crushing hugs.

Key Features of My Friendly Neighborhood:

• Friends or Foe-zz?: Encounter a colorful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!).
• Follow Directions: Engage in non-linear survival horror gameplay and always keep an eye on your map.
• Toys and Stuff: Arm yourself with unique weapons like the Rolodexer, where your knowledge of the ABCs becomes your ammunition.
• Brain Teasers: Solve a variety of puzzles inspired by survival horror classics.
• Lots of Playspace: Explore diverse environments, from the behind-the-scenes “BTS” Ray’s Workshop to the imaginative Cardboard Crayon Halls.
• Don’t Be Messy: Enjoy a grid-based real-time inventory system that enhances gameplay efficiency.

Developed by the talented brothers John and Evan Szymanski and published by DreadXP, My Friendly Neighborhood became available on Steam and Itch.io for Windows PC on July 18, 2023. Stay tuned for the release dates of the PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X versions.

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure where laughter and fear intertwine. Get ready to face your fears, armed with wit, puzzles, and a Rolodexer full of ABCs. My Friendly Neighborhood promises to be a unique survival horror experience that will leave you begging for more hugs… or maybe less.
