With today’s release of [I] doesn’t exist (check out Harrison’s take on developer LUAL Games’ new horror text adventure game), DreadXP decided to pull a cheeky move on X by announcing another title of theirs in Amanda the Adventurer heading to the Nintendo Switch. Originally released back in April on Steam, MANGLEDmaw Games’ found footage horror game will arrive on the Switch on September 19th.
The post starts out with DreadXP showing off “a funny typo” they made. What results is a lovingly crude animation showing Amanda from the eponymous Amanda The Adventurer (not “Afterburner”) “launching” to a cheesy MIDI rendition of “Also sprach Zarathustra”, followed by the Switch release date.
In Amanda the Adventurer, you are Riley Park. Riley has inherited their Aunt Kate’s house following her death. Starting with the seemingly banal task of digging through their reclusive aunt Kate’s attic, Riley comes across multiple VHS tapes. At first glance, the videos seem innocently childish and charming, depicting two best buddies — Amanda and Wooly — in an edutainment-styled escapade that features that 90’s-style CGI.
As Riley watches more and more episodes of the titular Amanda the Adventurer, a creeping, sickening feeling emerges that something is watching back. Riley soon realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set. Despite internal pleas to stop, Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something…and upsetting her wouldn’t be a wise choice.
