My Friendly Neighborhood
Developer John Szymanski, Evan Szymanski
My Friendly Neighborhood is a 2023 indie survival horror video game developed by brothers John and Evan Szymanski and published by DreadXP. Inspired by the children's shows Sesame Street and The Muppets, the game follows a repairman who is sent to disable the signal at an abandoned television studio, where the puppets from the canceled show have come to life and become hostile.

60 of 94 · most liked first6. My Friendly Neighborhood While the "cutesy childhood thing, but scary" trope is overplayed, this game radiates such a sincere love for the Sesame Street and Muppets it's a pastiche of, it feels like a revelation, and is backed by meticulously well crafted oldschool Survival Horror gameplay.
unlabelledView post →The amusing thing about the game My Friendly Neighborhood is that the game itself is an inversion of the whole subversive children medium trope. Like it basically just takes all the horror tropes and themes, then just makes them wholesome. Bonus points for its story being very relevant.
unlabelledView post →I reviewed My Friendly Neighborhood. Expected another "creepy kiddy mascot" horror game, was pleasantly surprised by what I got instead. Read the full review here: www.thejimquisition.com/post/my-frie...
unlabelledView post →10. My Friendly Neighborhood Not only is this a phenomenally good survival horror game, it's also an incredibly sincere and heartfelt love letter to the Muppets and Sesame Street, and in a just world would've been as huge as FNAF. Severely underappreciated. store.steampowered.com/app/1574260/...

unlabelledView post →So, a game I've been adoring lately is My Friendly Neighborhood, and a neat little detail I love is that the handgun that fire letters does so in alphabetical order, and the clip size goes up to 26. Y'know, like the alphabet! Just a neat little detail.
unlabelledView post →My Friendly Neighborhood from @ducky-dev.bsky.social is out now on @gamepass.xbox.com! The once beloved puppet show is back on the air, but something’s gone horribly wrong. Gear up and dive into a twisted broadcast full of felt, fear, and the unexpected. youtu.be/1069jM3bkO4
unlabelledView post →48. My Friendly Neighborhood I loved this game so much I kept buying it for friends, it is a first-person survival horror game, it leans into the Resident Evil inspiration, and there's a real heartfelt sincerity to it and love of what it's parodying. store.steampowered.com/app/1574260/...
unlabelledView post →6. My Friendly Neighborhood Not just an exceptional Survival Horror game that takes a lot of inspiration from Resident Evil right down to the briefcase management, it's a game that has a lot of sincerity and love for the puppets its satirizing, there's real heart here.

unlabelledView post →Wife asked if she's been bimbo TF'd if she still gets to play video games, and I said yes but it has to be stuff like Slime Rancher or Stardew Valley. She said, "That means the only survial horror game I get to play is My Friendly Neighborhood. A loophole!"

unlabelledView post →And not to overwhelm you with suggestions, but I'll also second everyone else who's saying Crow Country, Look Outside (honestly might be my game of the year), Amnesia The Bunker, Conscript, all good stuff. Also, My Friendly Neighborhood is good but I think you know that.
unlabelledView post →Wrapped up My Friendly Neighborhood last night. Really fun game that stands out due to its more earnest nature when it comes to the concept of “mascot horror” with its story and tone that feels less like a marketing tool and more of a heartfelt experience

unlabelledView post →Another good horror game that not many folks talk about is 'My Friendly Neighborhood'. Imagine if those puppets from kids shows were left in the studio, went crazy, and were trying to kill you via hugs. It's not perfect, but It's an oddly good RE-style game. 🎮 #gaming #horror #MyFriendlyNeighborhood
unlabelledView post →45. My Friendly Neighborhood for the like ten thousandth time barely got a screen shot of the end screen. Still one of the best games to ever do it. I can beat the entire game AND help all the puppets in under an hour and a half. And I think that's neat. :) Definitely a comfort game for me.

unlabelledView post →I finished "My Friendly Neighborhood" and I unlocked a cheat that makes my shotgun shoot giant crayons. This game rules
unlabelledView post →It's shocking how much My Friendly Neighborhood was such a step up above almost every other mascot horror game just by ripping off classic Resident Evil's combat/inventory system instead of just boring walking simulator or puzzle gameplay where you're rarely actually in danger.
unlabelledView post →I keep thinking about a video game that’s like a team shooter, but it’s toy weapons and you’re fighting muppety creatures. Kind of Left 4 Dead but My Friendly Neighborhood style enemies. Occasional giant boss puppet Main idea being sending as many ragdolls flying as possible with nerf guns and bats
unlabelledView post →I know that the two are not connected but every time I see @jamesduncanart.bsky.social post a creation, I feel the need to go back and hang out in My Friendly Neighborhood. To be sure this is definitely a good thing and I seriously believe his creations would be awesome in video game format.
