[@Golemie]

This game definitely follows the stereotypical "cute thing but horror" trope that's been rampant in the indie industry lately, but there's some genuine skill in how everything is presented/designed. Identifying early on that there's something lurking in the pipes for example makes the player super nervous around each one, in which the developer perfectly places a bunch of open pipes in spots you have to walk past or grab an item near. On top of that, the concept of having to tie up the puppets is basically a more active version of the Crimson Heads from Resident Evil Remake, which is brilliant. It creates a constant anxiety and stress in knowing that, if you don't tie up an enemy, you'll have to deal with them should you come back through an area. And with lots of backtracking due to puzzles, that's a constant risk the player has to balance considering the duct tape is a limited resource. On top of the actually really strong sound design, the manic voices of the puppets, proper resource management that encourages the player to explore, and proper shooting gameplay that puts you face to face with the enemies, this could be a fantastic game if it's finished. Honestly though, it's just refreshing to have an indie horror game that isn't just walking around/hiding until a big jumpscare happens. I understand it's a popular form of gameplay in the horror genre these days, but it's nice to have a game where you actually have to fight back and manage resources to survive. It's sad that such a basic concept is pretty rare.

[@Zeus-zv7dr]

Yeah, this is what poppy playtime should have been, poppy playtime has easy ass puzzles and just child friendly stuff and isnt that scary while this game is kinda child friendly because its a puppet show but hides the horror clevery in both a funny and scary way that i love, hope this game becomes someting more than poppy.

[@TheTankyCrowbar]

I do think it should lean a bit more into the horror side. I don't think the game could really hold someone's attention for much longer than the demo without something to make the puppets and objectives a bit more engaging.

besides the giant models of puppets, I've also found a secret mouse room with another cheat tape in it, and there's other secrets too, like hidden doors which do nothing, a giant door with a picture of someone on it, which has a key behind the giant door, that does nothing, also where the giant door with a key behind it is, there's something way in the distance behind it, but I tried travelling to it for like- 15 minutes or so, and it didn't seem to get closer, so if you have camera mode, and you know how to modify the game to let yourself go extremely fast, then go to that giant door, look behind it, you'll see what looks like about 5 pixels, fly towards those pixels, and if you get there let us know what you find.

I'm so excited for the full game. It's like Sesame Stree meets FNAF meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I rarely play horror games but this might be one I have to play myself.

[@ForeverLaxx]

He means modern "survival" horror games, where the "survival" aspect is just a suggestion because ammo and armor is in abundance. The concept of actually saving your supply until absolutely required is foreign to him.

[@ForeverLaxx]

@Dave N Sure. Poorly.

There's something weird about this game and the insane puppets and dolls that make it actually way scarier than normal horror games.

[@mrvespuccia.k.ameganite1747]

I think it’s bc the puppets blur the line between them being robotic or actually alive and sentient and that mystery puts fear in us

[@EpikBerm]

10:08 The impulsive manner of all gamers; testing, reacting with guilt, then relief. Then followed most likely with continuous genocide or complete pacifism and love.

[@The_Bean_Machine_]

Mark admitting that "listening to that insanity any longer would have an affect on" his brain resonated with me, because it was unsettling. The voice acting + the video editing = trippy experience. Also, that conversation about making friends with people who will forgive you is a great PSA to others about toxic friendships!

[@11338325]

By the way, did anyone else notice that in the office which Mark enters (where he got the shotgun type weapon) there's a movie poster titled "The Shadow Sapphire"? Obviously a reference to Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal"

7:57 i can officially say this is the first time ive been scared by a puppet being stuck in a locker as if it were a dead body.

[@thatoneguywhoworksatjoespl9701]

You know my favorite part about this game BY FAR? It’s not really trying to be a horror game… it’s just the puppets doing silly and also murdery puppet things. Thankfully it doesn’t fall into the “Cutesy thing is all spookums now!”

[@Keevstar]

This game has alot going for it, chock-full of charisma and fascinating gameplay. Its very different from a normal horror shooter reminiscent of Resident Evil but I wouldn't call it a parody definitely inspired but its a fun twist on a story shooter with more suspension than dread. It's goofy atmosphere combined with the almost comical gameplay makes for a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Don't forget the voice work either, all of the characters feel unique and have distinctive voices especially the main character, im a sucker for the New Yorker mafia boss accents. All around a great demo, I hope it can become a full game at some point.

[@TheNithal]

Poor take.

[@reynaldodeguzman2908]

It really took me too long to realize that "My Friendly Neighbor" is a play on words opposite of "Resident Evil," if it wasn't already apparent by the direct influences such as the map, inventory management, and puzzles.

[@ophelianoble8712]

I absolutely adore the Film Noir/Neo Noir take on the typical children's entertainment corruption of horror games (FNaF-esque premises). Noir is perfect; it's cynical, it's depressing, but its rather straightforward. The other games I've seen usually do some sort of long "this is innocent... but wait!" schtick which has kinda tired out for me. But noir gets straight to the point, the player is not meant to be naive or stupid or in-over-their-head. They're a hardboiled "see-some-shit" type and this confidence is fairly different from the recent indie children entertainment horror trend. This and Amanda the Adventurer (it's actually kinda harder to explain why I like this one since it seems somewhat generic for its sub-genre) are some of my favorites in terms of leaving just a different enough impact.

Mark plays a lot of demos and it's fun to actually see one that's really well fleshed out. Like the mechanics look pretty solid, most of the work they would still need is just level design and maybe some gun/enemy variety. They actually show the game off really well it's not just another spooky walking simulator
