Emerging from the ashes of nostalgia, the puppet show adored by many, The Friendly Neighborhood, is back with an eerie and unsettling twist. The famous production studio, once gone under due to the waning toy sales and dwindling fan base, appears to have rekindled the memories. But now, the beloved puppet show is transforming our cherished TV sets into a grisly spectacle, leaving everyone aghast. Enter our hero, the handyman Gordon, who is dispatched by the city to rectify this anomaly. Little does he know, he's about to step into the heart of a puppet nightmare!

Following the mission, Gordon embarks on an enthralling journey that drops him into a hostile neighborhood once revered for its amiable vibe. The gameplay primarily revolves around survival horror, forcing players to outwit their puppet adversaries strategically. Added to the mix are intricate playtime puzzles that engross the players, challenging them to break free from the horrible stringed clutches of the puppet menace. With a multitude of surroundings filled with lurking dangers, you're bound to feel the pinch of horror as you navigate your way around.

Adding a grain of amusement to the horrific scenario, the game equips players with whimsical weapons.

Remember, your supposed friends turned foes won't stay down for long, and you can't gore or behead them. It's all about outsmarting these ferocious puppets and making your way to the goal.

From behind the scenes at Ray's Workshop to the crayon-etched cardboard halls, these amiable places have turned petrifying. It's all brought to life with engaging graphics, making the once-friendly streets a truly immersive, nightmarish domain.
