Gameplay
The gameplay of Amanda the Adventurer mainly on its puzzle element; each tape is unlocked after completing a puzzle by looking around the attic for the necessary object and using a hint or instruction given in one of the tapes. Tapes can be played on a CRT television, and the player will sometimes be prompted to pick an option or type an answer. Depending on what the player chooses, events in the episode or the game may change or cause the characters to react, such as the player being forced to type the correct answer after failing several times, Amanda and Wooly breaking the fourth wall, Amanda removing all wrong answers, or her losing her temper and the television screen corrupting as she gets angry.
Plot
![[icon]](/enwiki/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (October 2023) |
The game's playable protagonist, Riley Park, has inherited the house of her deceased aunt Kate, who was presumably a parapsychologist. Riley looks in a box only to find a VHS tape in the attic, containing the first episode of a children's television series titled "Amanda the Adventurer". The series stars a young woman named Amanda and an anthropomorphic sheep named Wooly, doing day-to-day activities such as making food and doing errands in a similar manner to Dora the Explorer. However, as each tape goes on, things start to get more and more suspicious and frightening as Amanda begins to lose her temper while Wooly attempts to warn Riley several times, not wanting anyone to get hurt.[8]
Endings
| This section needs expansion with: the remaining endings. You can help by adding to it. (May 2023) |
The game has multiple endings, most of which can be achieved after completing one ending or steering away from the aim in a scenario.
- The first ending has Riley (the player) be killed by a demon resembling Amanda after she asks the player if they think "everything rots".
- Another ending has Riley be trapped inside one of the tapes, being a piece of meat in a butcher shop prepared to be chopped up.
- The third ending, considered to be the true ending, occurs when a secret tape is played on the television which has Amanda ask if she can share a secret with Riley. If the player responds with "no", Amanda says she "thought [they] were different" and the first ending plays out. If they respond "yes", Amanda reveals she is "out there somewhere" before the TV becomes possessed, prompting Riley to throw a brick at it which, in turn, destroys it and the tape as the sun soon rises.
- If, when aiming the brick, the cursor misses the TV, the brick will still hit it, but a mysterious silhouetted figure appears behind the table in the middle of the room.
Reception
