DreadXP, a prominent indie horror publisher, has thrilled gamers everywhere with the announcement of the release date for their highly anticipated comedy horror game, My Friendly Neighborhood! Get ready to dive into this spine-tingling adventure on July 18th, 2023, when it launches for Windows PC. But that’s not all – PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X players can also look forward to joining the puppet-filled mayhem at a later date.
Step into the shoes of Gordon, a repairman assigned the daunting task of shutting down the haunting broadcast of a canceled children’s TV show, The Friendly Neighborhood. Once beloved by children worldwide, this colorful series, featuring a delightful cast of puppets, took young viewers on educational journeys and entertained them with engaging games. However, after the studio’s closure, these lovable characters are back on the airwaves, but something seems amiss. Are they devouring each other?
My Friendly Neighborhood delivers a captivating mix of action and adventure, offering horror enthusiasts an experience filled with unexpected scares rather than excessive gore. While the game may lack graphic violence, don’t be fooled – your newfound puppet pals won’t stay down for long. Brace yourself for intense and heart-wrenching hugs.
Key Features:
- Friends or Foe-zz?: Encounter a vibrant array of puppet friends turned foes (and perhaps friends again!)
- Follow Directions: Embrace non-linear survival horror gameplay and stay on top of your map.
- Toys and Stuff: Arm yourself with unconventional weapons like the Rolodexer – do you know your ABCs? You better, because it’s your ammunition!
- Brain Teasers: Engage in solving a variety of puzzles reminiscent of classic survival horror games.
- Lots of Playspace: Explore a multitude of diverse environments, from the behind-the-scenes “BTS” Ray’s Workshop to the whimsical Cardboard Crayon Halls.
- Don’t Be Messy: Enjoy the convenience of a grid-based real-time inventory system, because organization is key.
Developed by the talented brothers John and Evan Szymanski and published by DreadXP, My Friendly Neighborhood will arrive on Windows PC via Steam and Itch.io on July 18th, 2023.
Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Series S|X, Microsoft Windows
