My Friendly Neighborhood

Do you want to introduce Resident Evil-likes to your children or your squeamish friends who like puzzles but don't like gore, viscera and jumpscares? Well... this game is tailor-made for them. And it's GREAT!

As a fan of old school survival horror you'd think this game would be enjoyable for me. However, it feels quite unfinished and unpolished. There just isn't a whole lot of plot or things to do, frankly I was bored. I had no problem running all over the map like an idiot in RE1, but here it feels tedious and pointless. During the entire 3h I played, I had no real incentive to keep going. I'm not sure why this game is so popular because it's so simplistic in a very bad way. It's not scary or exciting or remotely interesting and the atmosphere is extremely lacking. It's the same enemies again and again and again and while the level design is okayish it just - again - lacks in atmosphere. Overall it's just a boring game with a thin ass plot and no originality whatsoever.

The pay to save mechanic is absolutely idiotic and made me lose a lot of progress. I'm getting a refund if possible.

[h1][b] TLDR: Resident Evil 7 meets Sesame Street in this awesome take on survival horror. While not too scary, it has great mechanics and exploration.[/b] [/h1] [h1]PROS: [/h1] ➕Creative setting/world design ➕Survival horror mechanics ➕Excellent puzzles [h1]NEUTRALS: [/h1] 🔹Inventory management can get rough [h1]CONS: [/h1] ➖Saving the game costs in-game currency [h1] [b] Content (Game world/Narrative) – [8/10] [/b] [/h1] The game world takes place on a television studio set. You have various buildings that you traverse around this set - things like a hotel, writing room, shooting stages, prop rooms, ect. It’s essentially what you would expect on any Hollywood-style movie set, just at night and (mostly) abandoned. I found the world awesome to explore and felt it was really well put together. The narrative is fairly simple - your goal is to shut off a broadcast that has been running from an empty building. You must get to the top of the building where the antenna...

Good mascot horror. Very reminiscent of modern Resident Evil games. Finished this game in small bursts but would 100% play through this again, its got great wit and doesn't overstay its welcome. Plus it has added game modes to keep coming back.

Meh, the game lets you leave before actually finishing the job. I had to watch the real ending on yt. Didn't bother to go back to the game afterwards...

I did enjoy the game for what it was, but the lack of coins for saving really killed it for me and I gave up playing. I remember the old Resident Evil days where you had to have an ink ribbon to save, but the devs excluded coins in a lot of the latter game save rooms.

Resident Evil mixed with Sesame Street! 10/10 loved every second of it

My Friendly Neighborhood is a unique blend of first-person horror and intense combat that thrusts players into a disturbing yet darkly humorous world. Developed by Stave Studios, the game offers a fresh take on the horror genre by merging elements of fast-paced action, puzzle-solving, and unsettling atmosphere into a cohesive, adrenaline-fueled experience. From the moment you step into the shoes of a ragdoll-wielding protagonist tasked with cleaning up a nightmarish town, it’s clear that My Friendly Neighborhood is anything but your typical horror game. The premise itself is intriguing: you are a janitor responsible for disposing of monstrous creatures that have invaded a seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhood. Armed with a giant ragdoll, you must capture and eliminate these grotesque enemies while navigating through increasingly surreal and nightmarish environments. The juxtaposition of a mundane occupation with a horrific task injects a layer of dark humor into the game, keeping...
