Something seem surreal about Suburbia these days? Swear you’ve seen shell-shocked zombies creeping across cross-cut lawns, crawling through sprawling McRanches, entering teenage rooms of doom? Is this us? Or is it the online horror game named Neighborhood 3? Variety Magazine says this fast-paced play plays like a “nifty episode of The Twilight Zone.” Fear is at once funny and not fun anymore, until we question which is the real reality. Or IS it all just a game? Don’t want to play? You may have no say. Doom may be in the disconnect. Oh, and don’t forget to pick up the claw hammer on your way in.
