About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'My Friendly Neighborhood' Coming to PlayStation, Xbox and PC, Gets PC Release Date, Demo Available Now - Screens & Trailer

My Friendly Neighborhood is a puppet-filled survival horror game. The popularity of a canceled children's TV show waned over time, but after the studio shut its doors, the characters are back ... and eating each other!?

My Friendly Neighborhood is a puppet-filled survival horror game that puts players in 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.

A playable demo of My Friendly Neighborhood is available now on Steam.

My Friendly Neighborhood will be released on PC on July 18, 2023. The release date for the PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series X|S versions of the game will be announced at a later date.


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
