My Friendly Neighborhood launches on P

DreadXP announced the release date of the freakishly fuzzy My Friendly Neighborhood on PC, launching on 18 July 2023. The horror publisher also announced Xbox and PlayStation versions!

One part survival horror, one part puppet comedy, My Friendly Neighborhood stars a repairman unlucky enough to be tasked with shutting down a rouge broadcast of a canceled children’s show. As you’ve probably gathered, it’s not gonna be that easy. The puppets are running amok, and they really want… hugs.

Here are the complete press release details from Uber Strategist and DreadXP!

My Friendly Neighborhood Press Release

Face Felt and Your Fears in Goofy Survival Horror Game My Friendly Neighborhood — Releasing July 18th on PC and Later on Consoles

Today, renowned indie horror publisher DreadXP burst with joy as it announced at the PC Gaming Show the release date for its puppet-filled survival horror game, My Friendly Neighborhood! This gosh darn spooky game releases on July 18, 2023, for Windows PC, but that’s not all; My Friendly Neighborhood will also release on PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X at a later date.

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 colourful 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.

My Friendly Neighborhood Key Features:

Friends or Foe-zz?: Meet and greet a colorful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!)
Follow Directions: Non-linear, survival horror gameplay. Make sure to check your map!
Toys and Stuff: Arm yourself with unique weapons like the Rolodexer. Do you know your ABCs? You better — it’s your ammo
Brain Teasers: Solve an array of puzzles in the vein of the survival horror greats
Lots of Playspace: Experience a multitude of diverse environments, from the “BTS” Ray’s Workshop to Cardboard Crayon Halls
Don’t Be Messy: Enjoy a grid-based real-time inventory, ‘cause that’s just way better

Developed by brothers John and Evan Szymanski and published by DreadXP, My Friendly Neighborhood releases for Windows PC on Steam and Itch.io on July 18, 2023. The release date for the PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X versions of the game will be announced at a later date. Fans can download the My Friendly Neighborhood demo today on Steam.
