I think it's because it's a horror story that the positive and wholesome message is so memorable. The juxtaposition between the fearful scenes you walk through, and how the end brings you to a hopeful future rather than the regular "it all gets worse" or "you were going to die anyway" ending that a lot of horror games have these days just make the message all the more poignant

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"....

@jamesconlin5099 It technically kinda is, despite it leaning more into the "survival horror" genre of things like Resident Evil. It has a mascot (multiple, actually. But Norman, the "Ernie-looking" puppet is the most prominent) and it's based in a horror-like setting. It's not a bad thing that it's technically a mascot horror game, just that this one did the mascot horror thing RIGHT with a unique premise and style of game play from another corner of horror games.

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,”.

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.

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

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)

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.

I love about MFN that it didn't go into the "dead children posessing inanimate objects"-alley. The puppets are just alive and there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary with it. I also was very positively surprised by the wholesome story. At the beginning I thought that Ricky might wanted to take revenge on the studio or maybe world domination or whatever, because MFN originally aired as "Ricky and Friends", which implies that his spotlight was taken from him. But that turned out to be wrong. There was no malice inside the puppets (aside from the unfriendly Neighborhood). They were just lonely and confused by the darkness of the world. And all Ricky wanted was to bring light to the puppets and the world again. I actually cried a bit when I read the letter from the creator and from the speech in the true ending. This game was really a breath of fresh air! And while the game itself might not be that scary (more like anxiety inducing), it still shows the horrors of a world where goddness starts to go extinct. Things like this can be scary, too.

I really love this game and it’s message; The puppets aren’t inherently dark or scary, they are creatures who just want to teach kindness and optimism to the world, but it was the world that wanted things to be dark and scary; So the puppets wanted to share their optimism to the pessimistic world. Here’s a short poem I came up with: In the darkest of nights, even the smallest of lights… Shin as bright as a star, because even from a far… A spark can gleem, And make hope seen.

This game has a pretty powerful message; and while it doesn’t hit as close to home for me as some others, it still speaks to me. I try my best to keep a positive outlook on life, and in doing so, I try to avoid associating with negative things. I don’t watch drama shows, try to avoid the news, and especially don’t get involved in politics. As a counter example, there was a coworker at my job that whenever we were working together, he would almost always start a conversation with talking about how the war was going or a similar topic, and I would mainly try to ignore it or change the subject. Then one day, I nicely asked him to stop talking about it, then I explained that ‘I might be ignorant about these things, but it’s better than being a Negative Nancy.’ And after that, he stopped bringing it up, at least around me. The world needs positivity, especially in trying times, and I’m glad that this game is helping to spread that message.

There's also something you kind of touched on but didn't explicitly mention. General Rogers and his name likely isn't just random. Fred Rogers, the man from Mister Roger's Neighborhood, was never in the military. He applied for it, but was eventually deemed unqualified. In the world of the game, Fred Rogers likely never got disqualified, and climbed the ranks, stealing another source of light in the bleak world..
