It’s so refreshing to see a mascot horror game where the question of “why are the puppets alive” isn’t the focus of the story, but rather something far more meaningful
-
Finally, a mascot horror game that isn't about kids or adults being murdered and put into mascots. I never thought I would see it happen.
-
For being a game with another unseen protagonist, I really like Gordon's character growth and find him really memorable
-
“I’m not crying, you are”, and very true, the Mr Rogers speech made me tear up. What a heavy and poignant message from a horror indie game. Hats off to the creators for putting so much thought into it and thanks MatPat for doing this video.
-
You mean we finally have a wholesome horror game after all those years? Nice
-
Honestly if Sesame Street had gotten cancelled and then suddenly started coming back on the tv with new episodes I’d just assume that studio heads were tired of not earning money.
-
What a noble and wholesome message. I love that this game is more focused on the positive message than making a spooky game. That is what truly has lasting impact. The world needs more games like this
-
i love that the game creators were clearly invested in making the game. They really tried to tie real life history with a game to show us in an allegoric way what human world really is like.
-
I love how this game even shows how dark some let's players are. They keep seeing only the bad and choose the bad ending cause they don't try at all to help the puppets and are spiteful. It's honestly kinda fascinating.
-
Loved how much "softer" this Game Theory felt and sounded. My Friendly Neighborhood is truly a gem shining in the negative, toxic, drama-filled space of Mascot Horror and horror in general. If you just get back at someone who hurt you, you're just bringing them down to your level where both of you will get hurt even more. It takes real strength and guts to be kind in a cruel world. That doesn't mean you're weak though, just "that you kept a certain tenderness in your heart"....
-
Fun Fact: The voice direction for Gordon was to just act like the puppets were something that wasn't unusual for this world. In fact I believe the exact wording they were given was "There's like an 8% chance you might encounter something like this on your average day" (If you want more fun facts about My Friendly Neighborhood and its voice actors, go check out the Casting Director and Voice Director of this game, JelloApocolypse, and his playthrough of this game)

When I had played through the game, and made it to the final note, I started to cry. This game starts out full of actions and distractions, and then slowly, it becomes serene… and quiet. This game is a masterpiece, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. And I’m glad that they went for a more fulfilling, depressing end in this story. They didn’t focus on the puppets being alive. They didn’t focus on some grand mystery. They played it straight forward. And that made it so much more friendly.
-
In all reality I abousletly loved my friendly neighbourhood. It was a breath of fresh air on the mascot horror game industry!
-
I find it interesting that the developers chose to put this message in a game like this one. Other nostalgia-based mascot horrors like Poppy Playtime and whatnot are popular with young audiences, so it could easily be the developers’ way of reaching out to children and teaching them to do the right thing. Then again, one could easily look at it and say something along the lines of “Ugh. Another mascot horror game,”.
-
"oh i'll just watch this video. Probably wont wanna play the game anyway, im fine with spoilers" Matpat then proceeds to strike my okay-ness down by explaining the realest most heart breaking and heart warming story ive ever heard of, with the most compeling message ive seen in a while, from the lore of a game i am so sure i would have loved to experience first hand that i swear i could just sit down and start bawling right now
-
This game teaches a profound and heartwarming, yet simple message; "Fight for you innocence.". If these brave and wholesome creators create sequels for this game I'll definitely support them 120%!
-
The "Have faith in light" line literally brought tears to my eyes.
-
Honestly I respect this game so much because they don't some crazy convoluted reason for why the puppets are alive, they just are. And they aren't evil monsters on their own accord, but because they became corrupted by the reality of the world and not some experiment gone wrong, or children souls or something. It's actually such a unique take on Mascot Horror and I respect them for not doing the same cliche plot points that everyone else did
-
Never thought I’d see an indie horror game that doesn’t involve haunted animatronics. Nice job, MatPat.
-
As another comment said, I REALLY love their decision of mascot horror. Mascot horrors appealing to kids, meaning that kids are gonna watch gameplay of MFN or play the game, as well as probably watch your theory. It’s a total flip on how mascot horror usually targets kids to sell merch n gain clout, but MFN targets kids to teach them a valuable lesson about life itself.
