About My Friendly Neighborhood
Something is amiss with everyone's favorite Saturday morning puppet show! For years, the colorful cast of The Friendly Neighborhood delighted audiences across the globe with their cooky capers and educational adventures. However, as time went on and interest waned, the production studio found themselves out of money and closed their doors for good. Toy sales would dwindle, and birthday balloons and cakes would find new mascots. In time, the once household names would fade into increasingly niche fandoms. Until one night years later, the studio unexpectedly clicks back to life and starts broadcasting The Friendly Neighborhood. TV sets across the globe flicker for a moment before the familiar puppets return for a surprise encore! But this isn't your typical family-friendly holiday special... are those puppets eating each other!?
Thinking the antenna on top of the main building has started broadcasting old episodes, the city sends Handyman Gordon to straighten things out. It doesn't take Gordon long to find that the typically friendly neighborhood has become a lot less welcoming. Stepping into his work boots, you'll have to fend off ferocious friends, solve a plethora of playtime puzzles turned perilous, and hopefully uncover the dastardly truth at the heart of this terrifying tale.
If you're tired of games that rely on gore more than solid scares, then come on over to the streets of MFN! Featuring a mix of action and adventure, MFN is the perfect game for horror fans looking for something a bit different. Sure, there might not be any dismemberment or decapitations. But that just means the puppets don't stay down for good...

There's a LOT of mascot horror games out there warping all kinds of IRL childhood IPs with varying degrees of success: this game might honestly be one of the best ways to spin Sesame Street into this type of genre! I admit that "horror" is a bit generous for this game, but the lack of real scares is made up for by an interesting setting, lore, and unique interactions with the major characters in the studio (plus RE fans should get a kick out of the more goofy looking gameplay approach)! Highly recommend going through the hoops to get the best ending just for the story and seeing more of the other puppets!1 found this helpful
Most of the time I just run around watching the door opening animation.
I didn't have high expectations when I started this game but it turned out to be a lot of fun, super recommend.
Very pleasing atmosphere
The broadcast is back on the air, children rejoice! As someone who never watched the likes of Muppets or Sesame Street, I very much enjoyed this game as it admits what Resident Evil doesn't - it is just a RE style puzzle game that drops the pretense of "Horror". The only black mark is that the last part of the game (stage 6) is painfully short.
