My Friendly Neighborhood is a 2023 survival horror game developed by John and Evan Szymanski that blends mascot horror with classic, puzzle-heavy gameplay mechanics. Players control repairman Gordon O'Brian, navigating the hostile, puppet-filled City Network Broadcasting Group studio using non-lethal weapons and resource-management techniques.

Schools and local institutions anchor Tenoke’s future. A small public school, visible from the playground, organizes community clean-ups and art nights; the library offers free workshops and a safe place for after-school study. Volunteer groups mentor young people, helping them build skills and confidence. These institutions are modest but persistent, and many neighbors contribute time or resources because they want the neighborhood to thrive.

Report: "My Friendly Neighborhood" (TENOKE Release)

Final Verdict: It’s not Five Nights at Freddy's (jump scares). It’s a slow-burn, atmospheric puzzle-horror game that asks: "What if Mr. Rogers had a nervous breakdown and took his puppets with him?"
