DreadXP’s Highly Anticipated Comedy Horror Game from Developers John and Evan Szymanski to be the Publisher’s First PC, Xbox, and PlayStation Multi-Platform Title
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 colorful 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.
