Kane Carter @kanethecarter It's kind of a shame that "mascot horror" is seen as a low-quality label for a lot of people now, or even as something to avoid while marketing a game. Because... My Friendly Neighborhood is ABSOLUTELY mascot horror. If it's horror enough to be "survival horror", then it's definitely also mascot horror. And I have no doubt that it's a genuinely good game that is trying harder than the average game in this genre/aesthetic, but to pretend it doesn't fit into this category is just false. If someone says they love mascot horror... they love when a game has memorable child-friendly characters that act out in dangerous or disturbing ways... would you seriously say "oh, then you won't like My Friendly Neighborhood. It's nothing like that." Of course you wouldn't, because that's exactly what it is! That kind of person would LOVE this game. I don't think mascot horror should be something that game developers should avoid or dismiss; it's something they should strive to improve upon, and prove CAN be high-quality. Because the concept is genuinely interesting and is not at all flawed by itself. It's just easy to exploit. If you're not exploiting it, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Instead be proud that you made something great, in a genre, and for a community, that appreciates it. PC PC Gamer My Friendly Neighborhood asks: w... Rock Paper Shotgun Steam Next Fest demo...

Public Hakita Is a Good Idea @HakitaDev Very fun game, you should check this out if you haven't. Make no mistake: it's not mascot horror. It's survival horror through and through, just replacing the scariness with comedy. There's a free demo on the Steam page you can try if you're not sure it's for you.
