Nintendo Switch 2 players will finally be able to get their hands on DreadXP and developers John Szymanski and Evan Szymanski puppet-filled survival horror title My Friendly Neighborhood. Just in time for Halloween, the game will launch for the Switch 2 on October 22.
A cheeky nod to the mascot horror trend, in My Friendly Neighborhood, players strap on the old toolbelt and step into the work boots of Gordon, a repairman who takes on a job well above his pay grade. Initially tasked with shutting down the sudden broadcast of a beloved canceled children’s TV show titled The Friendly Neighborhood, Gordon finds himself faced with a whole neighborhood’s worth of floppy-armed puppet fiends.
Rather than the blood and guts approach for many Survival Horror games, My Friendly Neighborhood instead has players fending off and restraining these puppets with an armory of workshopped non-lethal tools and duct tape, solving playful-turned-perilous puzzles, and hopefully uncover the sinister truth at the heart of this terrifying-yet-goofy tale.
My Friendly Neighborhood is currently available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox One and Xbox Series. If you need a refresher, you can read our review for the PC version.
