A free demo of the upcoming puppet-themed horror game My Friendly Neighborhood is available for a very limited time. The new horror game from developers John and Evan Szymanski was first announced during last year’s Realms Deep 2021 event. The game bears some resemblance to the Five Nights at Freddy’s series. However, My Friendly Neighborhood takes a different direction with its gameplay that sets it apart.
In My Friendly Neighborhood, players take the role of a repairman named Gordon who is tasked with repairing the antenna atop the studio building where a canceled Sesame Street-like children’s TV show called The Friendly Neighborhood was made. The city believes the antenna is behind the sudden broadcast of old The Friendly Neighborhood episodes years after its cancellation, but Gordon finds out there’s more to it than that as the puppets have come to life. My Friendly Neighborhood is a non-linear, survival FPS title that features unique weapons, puzzle-solving, a grid-based inventory system, and more. These elements make the gameplay of My Friendly Neighborhood closer to Resident Evil than Five Nights at Freddy’s.
