My Friendly Neighborhood is a survival horror adventure game developed by John and Evan Szymanski and published by DreadXP. The game was released on Steam on July 18, 2023, and has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.
In My Friendly Neighborhood, you play as Gordon, a repairman who is sent to investigate a disturbance at the Sunrise TV Studio Lot. The studio is home to the popular Saturday morning puppet show, The Friendly Neighborhood, but something seems to be wrong. The puppets have gone haywire, and they are now attacking anyone who enters the studio.
You must use your wits and your skills to survive in this dangerous environment. You will need to explore the studio, solve puzzles, and fight off the puppets to find out what is going on and how to stop it.

My Friendly Neighborhood features several unique and interesting features, including:
- A colourful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!).
- Non-linear, survival horror gameplay.
- A grid-based real-time inventory.
- Unique weapons like the Rolodexer.
- An array of puzzles in the vein of the survival horror greats.

My Friendly Neighborhood Gameplay
The gameplay is a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. You will need to explore the studio to find clues and items that will help you progress. You will also need to solve puzzles to unlock new areas and progress the story.
The combat is real-time, but you can pause the game at any time to issue commands to your character. You will need to use a variety of weapons and items to defeat the puppets, and you will need to be careful not to get surrounded.
