DreadXP’s children’s cartoon-themed horror game Amanda the Adventurer is out today on Steam, with a limited-time discount (just in case you were still on the fence). Developed by MANGLEDmaw Games, Amanda the Adventurer is a found footage style horror title that’s a throwback to the television edutainment era, with an obviously sinister take.
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.
You’ll have to use your wits and think outside of the stained box to uncover secret VHS tapes, and unlock new narrative paths that lead to different endings.
