A new demo for My Friendly Neighborhood is out there to allow us all to walk around a new Neighborhood
We have one more demo to add to the list of PC titles out there for us all with My Friendly Neighborhood joining the ranks. This may be a title you may or may not have heard of before, but you can get your chance to dive right into it all now. It is a smaller survival horror title that DreadXP is bringing to us all out there, that will definitely take us into a dark neighborhood out there. Even if it is all based around going into a children’s TV show out there filled with some happy-looking puppets out there. That does make it feel a bit creepier when you start to dive into things a bit more.
For those that do not have much to go on for My Friendly Neighborhood, you are not fully left out in the dark as that is still many, we have a new little look at the game just below. It is looking like it is more of a horror FPS more than survival as we have the puppets in the building coming to life and trying to stop us from clearing things out. All in a non-linear gameplay style and using many different weapons that we can find in the game world. Somehow our ABCs will also be our ammo in the game, as My Friendly Neighborhood digs into the child show look and feel here. Even if it still has more of the indie charm than other games as we have had recently, it works out extremely well in my eyes. Time to see if it handles the same way with this demo.
My Friendly Neighborhood — Demo At Steam Next Fest
Everyone’s favorite Saturday morning puppet show is headed back to primetime and is hosting an extra special sneak peek preview during Steam Next Fest: February 2022 Edition. A demo for DreadXP’s gosh darn charming survival horror game, My Friendly Neighborhood, is available to download starting today and only until February 28th! After that, it’s gone. Ya’ better not miss it; it’s to die for!!!
My Friendly Neighborhood puts players into the work-boots of Gordon, a repairman tasked with shutting down the sudden broadcast of a canceled childrens’ TV show called The Friendly Neighborhood. Back in the day, The Friendly Neighborhood lit up TV screens and the smiling faces of children all across the world. Fans loved the show’s colorful cast of kooky puppet pals 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. Then, one night years later, the show suddenly reappears for a surprise encore… are those puppets eating each other!?
Available for a limited time, the demo for My Friendly Neighborhood gives players a taste of Gordon’s frightening night at the television studio. Gordon is stuck in the studio’s basement and is given friendly (?) advice by Ricky the Sock that leads Gordon on the search for an old, possibly broken, elevator. Players must explore the basement, juggle ammo limitations, strategically tape not-so-friendly neighbors to the ground, and avoid a very grumpy puppet named Ray.
Featuring a mix of action and adventure, My Friendly Neighborhood is the perfect game for horror fans looking for solid scares rather than gore. Sure, there might not be any dismemberment or decapitations, but that just means the puppets don’t stay down for good.

Will you be giving the demo for My Friendly Neighborhood a try here or will you be holding off for a full release out there? Do you think the ammo comment makes sense or will we need to play that actual game to get a better understanding? Do you think this could work well in a VR setting in addition to the basic FPS? Tell us all of your thoughts on this down in the comments and then discuss if you so wish. We will keep an eye on My Friendly Neighborhood as we head forward, so be sure to keep checking in for all of that and much more. I am sure we will not be let down by this at all.
