My Friendly Neighborhood

My Friendly Neighborhood is a 2023 indie videogame with a first person shooter/survival horror format. Set in the abandoned studio of a children's puppet series spoofing Sesame Street (down to sets patterned after Hooper's Store, the stoop, and a crayon-drawn area), the repairman player character Gordon (no relation, presumably) must face an array of living puppets, ranging from the feral to the homicidally insane.
Characters include a giant bird named Pearl (a more feral, non-verbal Big Bird counterpart), a sullen loner who lives underground (Oscar the Grouch), and a duplicated enemy named Norman is designed after Ernie, down to having a rubber duckie. The resemblance is closer on in-game artwork such as signs.
Throughout the Stage 4 setting, there are various posters for films by "The Puppets," including The Puppets' Road Trip!, The Puppets' Big Heist, Puppet Pirate's Cove, A Puppet Winter Song, The Puppets Storm Chicago: A Musical Movie, Puppet Space Quest, as well as posters for the films The Mystic Maze and The Shadow Sapphire, and the series Wubmump Caverns, Ricky with Friends, and The Scribe.
