Experience the cult phenomenon for the first time on PlayStation and Xbox, with a free update for Switch
It’s the most wonderful time of the year– Halloween season– and developer MANGLEDmaw Games and horror publisher DreadXP are starting the month in style with the console release of horror fan-favourite: Amanda the Adventurer. On October 10th, console players will be able to join Riley Park on their unsettling escapade for the first time on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, while Nintendo Switch players will enjoy a free update with improved graphics, performance, stability, and gameplay polish.
Having inherited their Aunt Kate’s house, Riley Park starts exploring what the reclusive woman left behind. In the attic, Riley is surprised to find a stack of VHS tapes next to an old TV set. The tapes seem to be episodes of an early 2000s-era children’s cartoon they have never seen before. Intrigued, Riley pops the first tape into the VCR.
Relatively simplistic in appearance, it appears to have been made locally and features a little girl named Amanda and her loyal yet shy best friend, Wooly the Sheep. While the episode appears charming and straightforward on the surface, an uneasiness starts to settle in as Riley realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set. A gnawing feeling in the back of their mind presses them to stop, but Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something, and Riley becomes fascinated with finding out what that something may be.
Features:
- A short yet intricate single-player horror experience.
- Animated tapes that tell an unsettling story, all under the guise of a welcoming children’s cartoon.
- Classic, 90s-style CGI that recalls a simpler era of animation.
- Characters who interact directly with the viewer—a dream come true for any 90s kid…or is it a nightmare?
- Challenging, escape room-style puzzles using clues hidden within the tapes
