This is normally not my kind of game but it looks so excellently made that I’ll probably give it a shot! It’s kind of like a soft horror rather than a hard one, which makes it far more palatable for squeamish people like me.
This is such a cool idea! And it's so beautifully executed! Good on you man, I hope you continue to have a lotta luck developing and publishing the games you wanna make cause this is unhinged in only the most wholesome way possible!
18:02 "I don't know if I'm stupid for missing it, or the game didn't give me enough direction." he says, while missing a fuse in the lock box that the note he read 30 seconds ago said would be there. he truly is a tactical genius
Feigning ignorance is our military genius main survival tactic. Being consistenly understimated by the enemy opens the way to a flawless victory (the many, many flaws along the way are fabricated and intentional). Really, one has to aplaud his hability to look clueless no matter what happens. He such a natural, convincing actor that the average viewer may end every video thinking Kevin has no idea what hes doing. But we know better. 😌
I like how the editor adds an echo for when there’s a cave it makes me imagine that Kevin is just a puppet on Gordon’s shoulder just constantly commentating on what is happening and everyone just ignores him
Im so ecstatic that Kevin is playing this game, i have been waiting... :D Its like the game has made intrusive thoughts into characters. And i love it. Its hilariously creepy
He thought Norman was just being affectionate. Understandable really. After all, grabbing people and throwing them around over and over is the way Kevin shows love. He saw nothing strange in the situation.
@@shinken6636 I have never heard of Arlo until this comment, but from doing a quick Google search, nothing of what you said is true. The main negative i heard is that he is basically the most vanilla NPC kinda guy, who will only say what is the popular opinion, which i get is terrible. But aside from that i dont understand where you got this information from. But i also hate RUclipsrs doing voice acting, the only reason they get to do it is because they are popular, which means a real voice actor loses on a potential job, which is disgusting. Also hes a Ninteno youtuber, being an alleged predator comes with the territory.
Literally only RUclipsr who use a cave echo on his voice when he goes to caves and underwater as well! It's just so amazing and nice touch! Just awesome!
Idk why but that puppet tied up at the top of the stairs saying it's getting lonely cracked me up. I think the game could've been improved if the puppets had alternate dialogue when tied up but that one moment was great
What is it about childhood toys/characters that makes it so easy to turn them into nightmare material? This is one of the wildest scary/puzzle games I've seen. Bout to lose sleep tonight and I regret nothing.
I feel like im in some weird reality where people forgot this game had a demo every youtuber played. Its like im a old man who knows this game from this future or something while everyone either pretends or hasent seen it before.
Finally he played it, I saw Jack play it forever ago and wondered if he ever would😂 Also I like how the Tape is like the kerosene you use on Zombies to keep them down in Resident Evil 1
Yeah, I noticed that too! For an FPS game, it sure is most inspired by one of the first Resident Evil games! (Considering that the remake was like, the fourth/fifth game or something)
Kevin you've become my favorite RUclipsr. I use to love markpliar and jackseptcieye, but I've started watching you way more. You're honestly my favorite anymore. Thank you for all the laughs and all the work you do brother.
When I saw Kevin approach all the puppets up to their melee range and shoot them exclusively in the body, really slowly... that's when I knew he was a military genius.
I don't know if it is the weird mindless NPCs, the killing towards one of my childhood memories or the mole people, but it kind of reminds me of the Sims series
I love that you played this game! It deserves the recognition. I just wanted to ask, are you okay? In the into you didn't look well... Please look after yourself and don't skip out on sleep! Love, your friendly neighbor.
I was just watching a video essay about this game! It looks so awesome, I'm so glad you decided to play it. You make every game a lot more fun to watch.
The alternate ending where Gordon calls AAA and waits for the guy with the jump pack instead of going back into the demented muppet hotel seems like the reasonable ending tbh.
Oh yeah, I remember some other people (one of them probably being Jacksepticeye of course) play this during it's earlier version... nice to see Kevin playing it, and to see that it's the full game that's out.
Not sure if Kevin has a knack for finding the most surreal of games or if Devs discovered his channel years ago and are specially making games as batshit as possible to cater to Kevin.
Honestly I find myself coming to this channel and a couple others (GrayStillPlays is another one) just to see what weird and zany things they're playing. Half the time it's interesting, the other half I'm laughing over the suffering they go through. Have a feeling my play style is similar to theirs, I'm just not as popular lol
@@dhalav looks like he's alternating crappy game, gtav, crappy game, gtav. And most of the gtav stuff is Alex challenges.... I enjoy watching most of them though
it's so crazy to see My Friendly Neighborhood full release. Only like, last year was the demo making its rounds and the fact that it's already full release is insane to me. Usually these indie horror games just have an early access that goes from actually just a pathing test for the antagonist, to basically the full game minus one or two cutscenes (of course taking a full five or six years to make). So to have just that really good demo, no early access, and to be released , makes this game feel so much more impressive than 'just another indie horror game' it feels so much more professionally done.
Imagine if this got a sequel but you star a muppet/puppet yourself, fighting with the negativity growing on you as you try to get through the game. Questioning your existance and learning what happened as you go along. With different endings depending if you give into the negativity, live in blind positivity or accept both the good and the bad to rebuild what was lost.
Okay Kevin, listen VERY carefully. If you decide to continue this: *AIM* *FOR* *THE* *_HEAD_* It still matters where you aim, puppet or not. This kind of game fits into your content quite swimmingly, it's chaotic and very energetic. I'd love to see more of this, but you have a tendency to make most things entertaining, so that's not surprising.
To be fair, the game never tells you to aim for the head. Resident Evil games either let you know zombies are weak to headshots, or expect the player to know that zombies are generally weak to headshots. But puppets? Aim for... The strings? I dunno
@@Going4Broke2528 Well yeah most things are weak to losing their heads lol Fun fact, zombies (and all undead) in D&D aren't weak to headshots. They're reanimated by magic. The magic makes them move, not their brain. You need to keep whacking them till the magic fades So it's possible, especially with organless dolls, for reanimated creatures to have no weaknesses. It depends on the method of reanimation and the game doesn't make it clear if the dolls have any weaknesses
@@mar_speedman Huh. That's really cool! I'm not all too familiar with DnD, so I was unaware. Also, I hope I wasn't coming off as brash, or anything like that.
Kevin: “I haven’t seen a bathroom since I got here.” Also Kevin five seconds before: literally shot a puppet in a bathtub, in a bathroom. (I know there wasn’t a toilet but you could pee in a bathtub if needed.)
Kevin, You ok buddy? You look super tired man. If you can, take some time and rest a bit, you're looking more beat every upload. I hope all it well in Kevin town! Love ya bud!
fun fact: when the vas streamed this game jello, the va director, told the mcs va to pretend in this universe there's just like. a 10% chance a job will involve talking puppets. and therefore all his lines are specially designed ti kinda sound like UGH one of THESE jobs.
Hey Kevin! Dev here! Thanks so much for playing! Really means a lot when I see people like you checking the game out. :)
Good job man the games fun and interesting, I can't imagine all the coding and re-working you have to do to make a game function. Good job man
Any word on a rough release date for consoles, by any chance?
This is normally not my kind of game but it looks so excellently made that I’ll probably give it a shot! It’s kind of like a soft horror rather than a hard one, which makes it far more palatable for squeamish people like me.
This is such a cool idea! And it's so beautifully executed! Good on you man, I hope you continue to have a lotta luck developing and publishing the games you wanna make cause this is unhinged in only the most wholesome way possible!
Finally a horror game I can play round my kids and with only minimal trauma! 😂

I would somewhat describe Kevin's videos as Sesame Street and Resident Evil combined...wholesome and utterly terrifying.
I've been watching kev for like 4 years now, can confirm haha
his first items are an SCP keycard and an elden ring medallion?
Beautiful in an ugly way.
Kevin is his generations response to Fred Rogers... God help us all...
Wholesome when observing Kevin, terrifying when you observe his in game actions
I like how the editor adds an echo for when there’s a cave it makes me imagine that Kevin is just a puppet on Gordon’s shoulder just constantly commentating on what is happening and everyone just ignores him
If I am not mistaken, Kevin edits these himself.
@@mebreevee wait really! That’s so cool is there anything this unhinged Irish lad can’t do?
@@mebreeveeanother editor (besides Kevin) is credited in the description
@@_t.m_ Ah ok! I just know he mentioned doing a lot of editing prior :D
Kevin to the editor Jim pickins
I’m so happy you played this. It’s weird and terrifying and absolutely unhinged. Perfect for your brand of chaos. 😂
I thought you were describing Kevin.
@@sodaplay319 … I mean, you’re not wrong. Lol
I’d love a part 2. Kevin needs to see the rest of The Horrors
i was scared shitless of the muppets as a child so this is perfect for watching it so late at night alone completely in the dark
This is like a what if all those shitty mascot horror games coming out lately were actually charming and well made.
Im so ecstatic that Kevin is playing this game, i have been waiting... :D Its like the game has made intrusive thoughts into characters. And i love it. Its hilariously creepy
I love how Kevin doesn’t realize he’s being attacked at the beginning and keeps going back to him despite being grabbed and thrown over and over 🤣
He thought Norman was just being affectionate. Understandable really. After all, grabbing people and throwing them around over and over is the way Kevin shows love. He saw nothing strange in the situation.
This gives such BioShock feels as well. It's a wonder no one thought the splicers sounded like insane muppets earlier
And the wrench
The chaos in this game is the only thing that can come close to being as chaotic as Kevin. ALMOST!
he missed the best part of the game.
As soon as Kevin got the gun, I could tell that he would not be any safer
Arlo really knocked Ricky's part out of the park. So proud of that goofball!
Didn't even notice that. Absolutely perfect casting though
@@shinken6636 huh??

Smii7y does it too
I really hope Kevin will continue this, this game looks basically made for him
Idk why but that puppet tied up at the top of the stairs saying it's getting lonely cracked me up. I think the game could've been improved if the puppets had alternate dialogue when tied up but that one moment was great
My friendly neighbourhood - what a name, I’m sure nothing can go wrong in a game like this!
What is it about childhood toys/characters that makes it so easy to turn them into nightmare material? This is one of the wildest scary/puzzle games I've seen. Bout to lose sleep tonight and I regret nothing.
Most likely because the juxtaposition between "colourful, aggressively happy and friendly" and "threatening, uncanny and inhuman movements"
@@Dr.Death8520 I dig the observations and logic 👍🏻
The way you change the voice effect at 16:26 to match the sound of being in a cave is God tier editing. Such an attention to detail man!
It happens when he's underwater in other videos too haha
I feel like im in some weird reality where people forgot this game had a demo every youtuber played. Its like im a old man who knows this game from this future or something while everyone either pretends or hasent seen it before.
I mean, maybe! You never know!
You’re not thinking about Poppy’s playtime? This game I have never seen
Yeah I remember it too, Kevin definitely played it as well
I don't often care if Kevin finishes games. But I really hope this is one he might decide to finish
This is one of those games where I really wish there was a longer play through because it's so bonkers.
the game has major bioshock vibes at times, weird as that is. insane enemies just babbling away until they spot you
Finally he played it, I saw Jack play it forever ago and wondered if he ever would😂

Yeah, I noticed that too! For an FPS game, it sure is most inspired by one of the first Resident Evil games! (Considering that the remake was like, the fourth/fifth game or something)
I love the nods to resident evil in the door animations, inventory and health system.
I would love to see Kevin continue scarring himself with more of this game :D
Kevin you've become my favorite RUclipsr. I use to love markpliar and jackseptcieye, but I've started watching you way more. You're honestly my favorite anymore. Thank you for all the laughs and all the work you do brother.
Welp, I know what I want a sequel to Avenue Q to be like now.
When I saw Kevin approach all the puppets up to their melee range and shoot them exclusively in the body, really slowly... that's when I knew he was a military genius.
I absolutely adore when Kevin plays horror games. He's extra funny when he's scared.
I don't know if it is the weird mindless NPCs, the killing towards one of my childhood memories or the mole people, but it kind of reminds me of the Sims series
I've been in love with this game since it came out a few weeks ago. I'm so so glad you played it! It definitely fits your brand of humor and chaos
I love this game so much, its so wacky and silly! You're commentary is just hilarious, so if you're having fun playing it I hope to see a part two!
I've never seen a game universe that Kevin fits in more. lmao
How are you doing lately, Kevin? You've looked really tired in the last few uploads. I'm wishing you good health
I would love for this game to get a fanbase as big as FNAF or something. It just has so much charm that I think it deserves it.
Hope you are having a great day Kevin! Your videos are something I can always look forward to :)
I love that you played this game! It deserves the recognition.
I just wanted to ask, are you okay? In the into you didn't look well...
Please look after yourself and don't skip out on sleep!
Love, your friendly neighbor.
Kevin should hear the crazy stuff the puppets say while idle. It's hilarious.
I wanna see Kevin play Baldur's Gate 3 to see what ridiculous shenanigans he could get into!
I was just watching a video essay about this game! It looks so awesome, I'm so glad you decided to play it. You make every game a lot more fun to watch.
The alternate ending where Gordon calls AAA and waits for the guy with the jump pack instead of going back into the demented muppet hotel seems like the reasonable ending tbh.
The one youtuber that never gets boring posts again.
I've always thought resident evil needed more muppets.
Idk why I burst laughing that Kevin just threatens to wear the sock
This feels like the mind of the lady in Choo Choo Charles who just screams “I NEED MY PICKLES”
I love seeing you play these weird indie games this one is a real diamond in the rough 😂
Hope you okay Kevo. Your fans will be here for you even if you need some rest. We love you Kev!🥰
Oh yeah, I remember some other people (one of them probably being Jacksepticeye of course) play this during it's earlier version... nice to see Kevin playing it, and to see that it's the full game that's out.
Thank you for everything Kevin:)
Sounds like an actual fire game, imma get it soon. Please play more.
18:06 Kevin complains that he doesn't know if he's just stupid for missing it or there were no directions
then immediately misses a fuse
Oh nice didn't see this one coming but I'm so glad you played it!
i just love when you change your voice if youre underwater or in a cave. the edits are amazing ❤❤❤
Hilariously Horrifying And I love it 😁 Watching others play horror games is so much more enjoyable than playing them myself 🤔
I found your time capsule in subnautica and it had 2 aerogel 2 acid mushrooms and a diamond and a coffee.
turns out the children AND the puppets yearn for the mine.
I love this game,I love seeing Kevin's take on it,lol
Thanks for making Mondays better, Kevin!
Love how Kevin acts like this isn’t the daily for repair men
Love you Kevin!
I miss ur bitlife videos they got so many views pls keep making bitlife vids i love them
Not sure if Kevin has a knack for finding the most surreal of games or if Devs discovered his channel years ago and are specially making games as batshit as possible to cater to Kevin.
Yes.
it's mostly because the game gained a lot of attention lately and it's on brand with CMK channel, so it's understandable that he's playing it

this might as well have been the elmo number counting game
Someone may have have mentioned it, but here's some trivia for ya: the opposite sides of a six-sided die always add up to 7. 6-1, 5-2, 4-3
Need one of these type of games but its Kevin’s wacky characters chasing you
I'd really like to see this game to the end with Kevin so I'm in for a part 2, if Kevin is willing.
By far the best play thru I’ve seen! Kevin makes every game just 1000000x funnier! 💜

The perks of working night is im always available to click on a new kevin video the second it uploads 👌
I can think of worse things to do to a sock puppet.
Kevin’s Scars are our entertainment

Seeing Kevin play this has made me want Jim and Turg puppets
Turg maybe.. But An immortal, literally unkillable Jim with all of his previous history? Yeah no the world would end.
What a wholesome combination 🥰
“I haven’t seen a bathroom since I got here” - Kevin, right after leaving a bathroom
Would absolutely love to see you play more of this, seems like the perfect game to match the chaotic nature of you 😂
As a person sexually attracted to muppets, I am more confused then normal.
As a fellow ADHD kid, I GOTTA know what your weird plan was with the dice near the end
This is like the bioshock version of sesame street
The sock puppet is one of my favourite RUclipsr's, I knew he was in a game but the MOMENT you hear the voice you know lol
I want to see the rest of this!!!
As someone who was deeply scared of sesame Street as a Kid I can say confidently that this game is gonna haunt me for the rest of my days
This reminds me of that episode in "Angel" where demonic puppets were absorbing life from children through an educational program.
this was an amazing video, please do a full playthrough i'd love to see more
Hope you're doing alright Kevin 😭😭😭😭 you sound a little strained, hope you're not overworking
Kevin: “I haven’t seen a bathroom since I got here.”
Also Kevin five seconds before: literally shot a puppet in a bathtub, in a bathroom.
(I know there wasn’t a toilet but you could pee in a bathtub if needed.)
My favorite part of this video is where Kevin pays for my therapy for the next 20 to 86 years! Love it even if I'm traumatized
Kevin, You ok buddy? You look super tired man. If you can, take some time and rest a bit, you're looking more beat every upload. I hope all it well in Kevin town! Love ya bud!
I was thinking this also; I was hoping it was just me thinking this. I hope everything is okay with him.
Had no idea the battery could die before seeing this. Thanks for the video!
Praise jim and much love to kevin
Ive been waiting for you to play this game its the perfect amount of Chaos and it just screams your name
fun fact: when the vas streamed this game jello, the va director, told the mcs va to pretend in this universe there's just like. a 10% chance a job will involve talking puppets. and therefore all his lines are specially designed ti kinda sound like UGH one of THESE jobs.
8:33 is a pretty badass moment unironicly lol
Continue please it was so great watching.
Kevin please do a part 2 I’m living vicariously through you in this game lmao
Kevin, I hope you finish playing this game. It would be amazing to see the end (if possible!)
Thank you for the new game play.
