Amanda the Adventurer
The Unsettling Tale of Amanda the Adventurer Is Now On Consoles
Posted October 10, 2024Los Angeles, USA - October 10, 2024 — The horror fiends at DreadXP are celebrating the greatest month of the year by bringing their mega-hit game, Amanda the Adventurer, to PlayStation and Xbox consoles today, alongside an update for Nintendo Switch. Developed by MANGLEDmaw Games, Amanda the Adventurer became an Internet phenomenon when it launched on PC in 2023, captivating millions of people who continue to discuss its mysteries, and it’s now available on all console platforms with today’s launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
The story of Amanda the Adventurer kicks off when Riley Park inherits a house from their Aunt Kate and 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 at first glance, 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 seems charming and straightforward on the surface, an uneasiness begins to settle in. Riley realizes that Amanda and Wooly may be interacting with the real world, and these tapes are more than simple cartoons. 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 with numerous endings.
- Animated tapes that tell an unsettling story, all under the guise of a welcoming children’s cartoon.
- Classic, 90s-style CGI that gives a sinister reimagining of a simpler era of animation.
- Characters who interact directly with the viewer—a dream come true for any kid...or is it a nightmare?
- Challenging, escape room-style puzzles using clues hidden within the tapes, as well as many hidden secrets.
Today’s launch on PlayStation and Xbox platforms also brings a big update to the Nintendo Switch version of the game, including improved graphics, performance, stability, and overall gameplay polish. Amanda the Adventurer has amassed over a billion views on YouTube, including all the fan-made content, and the next chapter in Amanda’s story kicks off on October 22nd when Amanda the Adventurer 2 launches on PC.
