Amanda and Wooly seem happy, healthy, and ready to bake a delicious apple pie. The titular young girl and an anthropomorphic sheep named Wooly host the show, and again, at first everything seems right with the world here. A hand-written letter that appears at the start of the game asks you to investigate a video-tape but says, "once you watch it, there's no turning back." Well, it turns out the attic is full of video-tapes, and each one is an "episode" of what initially appears to be an off-brand, but still kid-friendly, Dora the Explorer. The entirety of Amanda the Adventurer takes place in the dark attic of a house you've just inherited. Not for the faint of heartįabledom is a fairytale city builder about smooching princesses I was alerted to Amanda the Adventurer by a GamesRadar+ news story that warns, "This horror game may look like a kid's TV show, but please don't show it to your children." Intrigued, I downloaded the free demo on Steam, but it wasn't until I played through the full game a few times that I found myself utterly bewitched by its characters and the many disturbing theories floating around online about what real-world or paranormal horrors are plaguing them.Ī quick but important word of warning on that front for those interested: there is a lot - I can't stress this enough, *a lot* - of explicit animal cruelty in this game in fact, it's one of the central themes, so definitely approach it with some level of caution if you're particularly sensitive to that sort of stuff. Playing the viral analog horror sensation Amanda the Adventurer is like watching an interactive version of Dora the Explorer on a really, really gnarly shroom trip, and it's every bit as terrifying as that would actually be.
