My Friendly Neighborhood is a 2023 survival horror video game published by DreadXP and developed by John and Evan Szymanski.

[4] Set in a world where sentient puppets are recognized, "My Friendly Neighborhood" was a show originally made for public access television, and titled "Ricky with Friends," created by Al Gerzwald, who aimed to create a show that would bring joy to children but also teach them valuable life lessons.

After its success on public access, the show was picked up by the City Network Broadcasting Group, and it's titled was changed to "My Friendly Neighborhood."

By the early 1980s, a shift had occurred with programming moving towards crime and drama shows that appealed to the generation of children who grew up during the televised war, with "My Friendly Neighborhood" and its wholesomeness no longer fitting in, and so the City Network Broadcasting Group instructed Al Gerzwald to change the tone of MFN and reimagine the core principals of the series.

Set in 1993, Gordon J. O'Brian is a cynical handyman and war veteran who is on probation from his employer due to his "sullen and impolite" behavior towards clients.

Eventually, Gordon makes his way up to the broadcasting tower where Ricky appears, stating his belief that the reason why their show was cancelled was because people preferred to be dark and cynical rather than happy.

With the elevators locked, Ricky tells Gordon that he must venture through the abandoned set, now called "The Unfriendly Neighborhood" and turn on the emergency switch.

[6] Although Slant Magazine said My Friendly Neighborhood "isn't all that scary or all that tense", they praised the game's setting as "truly exceptional" and said that it showed "a tangible love and care" in bringing it to life.

They recommended My Friendly Neighborhood to people looking for survival horror games that are "light on gore and heavy on spine-tingling thrills".

[3] Adventure Gamers described it as "Resident Evil or Bioshock with chattering Muppets" and recommended it as a "charming and genuinely fun" game made by people who are clearly fans of survival horror.
