Amanda the Adventurer - All Secrets, Endings and the Story Explained 

I think it’s important to note that in Hameln’s response to Sam’s disappearance, they refer to it as “abandonment” as if they’re trying to push the idea that Sam LEFT, rather than was taken.

I just realized, the company is called Hameln, which is the name of a place in Germany that has a story of a mouse catcher that eventually kidnaps the children of the village. That is such a cool easter egg!

One thing you missed when Amanda says "I'm out there somewhere" Look closely when the screen flashes to red you do see the demon BUT you also see a human person banging on the screen trying to escape. I believe that's Rebecca trying to get out.

Honestly, after seeing the story of this game, I actually realize that this game is an allegory for the dark side of children’s entertainment as Amanda the adventure used to be a beloved show on public access made by an honest man who was inspired by his adopted daughter and her joyful imaginative personality but later ends up making getting approached by the wrong people who ends up ruining his and his daughter’s lives with demonic influences, which, as a result causes his “disappearance” and his daughter being used as nothing more than a component for a ritual and it’s honestly heartbreaking to see

It might just be me but everything leads to Rebecca having been beheaded. When you mention Sam, Amanda recognises the name, hinting at the fact she still has some sort of memory of being Rebecca. When she is sent into the butcher shop she seems terrified. If we believe she has small memories of being Rebecca, then we can assume that something traumatic must have happened at the shop. Also, the Blabberbot's head pops off when you pour water on it, and the Doll's head must be cut off. The Doll also has a very similar voice to Rebecca There are also many subtle hints - when the tapes glitch, Amanda's head is usually separated from her body. Amanda also cuts Wooly's head off during the surgery scene. Possibly, Hameln sacrificed Rebecca's body to the entity by beheading her. The entity also seems to have only Amanda's head, as we can tell by the hair. Her soul could be stuck in the show whilst her body is dead, which could work as she said she believes she is 'slowly rotting'.

20:25 If you notice, you've become one of the pieces of meat hanging from the wall. This could imply that all the background characters that move and have eyes are other victims trapped in the tapes.

I think the biggest tip of Hamelin's evil intentions are their name, logo (a rat) and catchphrase ("Follow us to fun!"): "Hamelin" clearly stands for the children fable, Pied Piper of Hamelin, in which a piper played a music to drive out rats from a town in exchange for a reward, when denied, he played a music to drive the children out, never to be seen again. So besides the demonic relation, is possible they are using Amanda's videos to take children who watch it for whatever evil purposes they have in mind.

I don't think Wooly and Amanda have completely lost their memories as Amanda and Wooly were utterly shocked when you called the rooster "Sam" & right after, Amanda tries to ask how you know that name before the tape cuts off (presumably by the demon).

something interesting to add is that if you pay attention you'll notice that the tv was never plugged in and remains that way throughout the game.

So, I think I just realized why Amanda said that mommies and daddies aren't always right. It's because Sam took her to Hamlen, and is now trapped in the tape, and she blames Sam for this fate.

32:45 I am sad that nobody saw that yes Wooly and Amanda were shocked by that but also the house who breathed heavily stopped breathing and turn around to loom DIRECTLY at us just like it knows something

Idk if anyone else mentioned this, but my theory is that another reason Amanda might not be too keen on Wooly is because, as he's a parental figure, Amanda might have believed Hameln saying that her dad abandoned her, so it could be her taking out her abandonment issues onto poor Wooly.

I doubt rebeca is dead. From everything I’ve seen it would make more sense that her body is somewhere but her mind is in the tapes. Since most demons need hosts to manifest. So I feel shes somewhere in Hamlen asleep or frozen or something. Which is why she says she feels herself rotting. Edit: Thanks for the likes!

One thing I like about the game is the use of VHS tapes. Rather than just having VHS filtered cut scenes, you actually have to WATCH them AND look out for smaller details that affect your playthrough, as you go along!

Her voice getting clearer in the normal ending was creepier than the jumpscare

After the butcher ending, you get the sticker of the meat with eyes and the knife. Since we were in line with all of the meat, could we have been turned into one? Supporting the theory that everything with eyes was once somebody who got trapped in the tape?

You have to wonder about Rebecca’s life before Sam. He said she’d gone through a lot, but doesn’t elaborate. Then in the farm episode, Amanda mentions some mommies eat their babies. Could Rebecca’s biological mom have murdered Rebecca’s sibling? Or been particularly abusive?

Also can we sit back and appreciate how intelligent the writing is about Aunt Kate? Like making her a librarian was a really smart choice. Librarians need a masters degree for their job and are insanely good at research. They know all the ways to use any database and some are so skilled they're trained to handle older books and archieve them. Linrarians also are very interconnected and work together frequently to mail, gather and barter for books. They have this huge network of people and books at their fingertips, meaning that Aunt Kate had resources, contacts and knowledge to gather everything.

I think the way Hamelin used & sacrificed Rebecca made her feel like just *meat*, especially after she was killed & that’s what the butcher shop represents. Also why she refers to herself as “rotting” & why she says she’s “somewhere.” She can ~feel~ her body some where “far away,” rotting like old meat. 😬💔

I believe wooly is the villain. Maybe not a full villain but a product hamlen created to keep Amanda actively focused on the task at hand which is be a tv character. Several times when she’s steers off SCRIPT he tries to redirect her to stay on track with the story. When he ran to the screen to “warn “ us he basically was trying to tell us don’t antagonize her , meaning don’t say anything that can make her realize where she is . I don’t believe he’s all good , the way people think he is.

Can we take a moment to appreciate an indie horror game based on children's media where the parent doesn't hate their child or abuse them? Super here for how loving Sam was to Rebecca and looking out for her wellbeing until the end. That being said. Notice the lonely kitten motif? And being abandoned and alone. And Hameln statement stating Sam*abandoned* Rebecca and the show. They probably convinced her he left her on purpose and used that trauma and emotional turmoil to complete the process started by the voice recordings

Hot take: I dont think she is signing a contract with Hamelin. They already have control. She is siging a contract with the demon

Fact: the reason why Amanda smiles surprisingly when you say YES to help the kitten is because the kitten represents Amanda and the kitten is lonely and upset and needs love, like Amanda which maybe explains why wooly tries to comfort her when ever she is angry. And Amanda gets frustrated easily which is why she treats wooly so badly. The reason she looks so surprised is because she wasn’t expecting the viewer/Riley to actually say yes to helping the kitten/ Amanda

The original game made Amanda seem like a heartless demon, but this one made her more sympathetic.

Poor Sam and Rebecca, they wanted to to do something fun and a horrible company took advantage of it.

I think wooly can be either 2 people: 1. Sam Colton Sam is just trying to protect his daughter, just like Wooly. Also, in the "true" ending, you can see a presumed man jumping at the screen and then disappearing after. Then, once you destroy the tape, IMMEDIATELY AFTER, a guy comes in. I think that could have been Sam Colton freed from the tapes. 2. A doctor/employee trying to keep Amanda in the tapes He is trying to keep Amanda from releasing the demon. Also, in the credits of "oh no accidents", there is a doctor in the credits. But why is there a doctor on a.. kids show? Maybe because that's wooly. And, Amanda literally says to wooly, "it's all just pretend, isn't it?" to show that Wooly is lying to amanda about being her friend. That might show why Amanda is trying to kill him too.

We must find a way to protect Wooly, he's too adorable

I think Wooly is actually causing more harm than good. Amanda seems to really want to talk to the viewer her pains and trauma she feels and why it’s confusing her, but he stops her every time which only frustrates her even further.

I've heard other theories though that Wooly is actually a Hameln worker who is put in the show to keep Rebecca in-character as Amanda. It's why he tries to steer Amanda back on script in some tapes (the alternate 'In Your Neighbourhood' and 'Everything Rots') because she talks about her death and hints the truth behind Hameln. For exmaple after she said "Something bad happened" (14:50 - the "bad" being Amanda dying and the missing children) Wooly dismisses it, explaining to the viewer that shes just confused. Nothing evil occured. Wooly doesn't have a voice actor credit in the show because this is kept a secret. Remember the saying, "Wolf in sheep's clothing"? I guess we will find out more when the 2nd game comes out.

I think amanda may have been decapitated. She tries to cut woolys head of in the alternate accident tape, the doll screams (very realistically too, jesus) when you cut her head off, and when amanda freaks out at the end of the sunrise ending, her head is separated from her body in one of the frames. Also, the 6th tape was added to troll hackers an isnt canon, i believe

I feel so bad for Rebecca and her father. Maybe in the third season there’s a way to get them both out and all of the lost souls.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

I have a theory. Wooly is the containment specialist, seen in the credits. Why do I think this? Well, he prevents Amanda from getting out by keeping her calm. He keeps her contained in the tapes. But Amanda is still stronger, and turns him into a real sheep. Only AFTER he’s out of the way, does she ask for help. (the lonely kitten) He might regret this and is now just trying to keep people safe should they watch the tapes

About the "lonely kitten" i think i now why they made her a cat. While the evil company is a mouse, see that? Its like the mouse was smart enough to lure the cat into. A torture trap. Along with the fox bear trap, i think that represents sam, he fell into theyre trap before rebbeca.

I actually think that maybe Aunt Kate might be the mysterious person that appears during the true ending.

Riley teaming up with the whistleblower to save Sam and Rebecca would be awesome.

25:44 Man, the way her voice goes from VHS filter to sounding so clean feels so... chilling. I feel sad that Herd of Mouth is the only time Wooly feels safe. Also, I get the idea that the show and the events happened in the 2000s while the game's in the 2020s.

I felt so bad when amanda screamed at the fire. I went into protect mode.

Theory: I think the only reason the building (and other stuff) has eyes is because those are the children that got transported into the vhs tapes. That happened to Riley when he found himself in the butcher ending.

In the “leave” ending Amanda says “I thought you were different” which suggests someone was there before and she asked that before and someone said no before. Maybe Kate? Maybe someone else? Just something to point out

I still like to think Sam is the mystery detective at the true ending, still trying to find a way to rescue Amanda Also wooly could also just be an employee at hamlin tasked with keeping Amanda at bay as he does throughout the game It would also follow with him being sheep or a follower and him keeping Amanda at bay with him pulling the wool over Amanda's eyes, like how the demon looks like it has wool over their eyes

I feel that person in the coat that appears in the attic, is Kate. She was trapped within the tapes as well, but because she wasn't killed beforehand like Sam and Rebecca, she was able to return after Riley intervened. And if this is true, it stands to reason that all the others who got trapped in the tapes were freed as well. Sadly, because Sam and Rebecca were both probably killed before being trapped, they were probably still dead. However, they could at least now rest in peace since their souls were freed.

21:11 It seems really odd to me that Blabbot used the phrasing that it did, which was *"Send my condolences TO Kate"* To me, that raises a possible insinuation that Kate is still ALIVE (since you don't SEND condolences to dead ppl). Since it seems that Kate was a librarian-turned-paranormal-PI, does anyone else think it's possible that the Masked Investigator from the "True Ending" ... might actually be *Kate*? This might explain why this character appears in the first place, why they are masked, and why it seems like they may have been observing the situation somehow and then trying to rush in to help Riley. I haven't seen this suggested anywhere else so i'm wondering, is it just me thinking this is a possibility? And if so, why would she have chosen this guise? Was she forced to go underground? Or perhaps was she kidnapped into the videotape/demon realm, but somehow managed to escape? (Please don't let me be alone here lol)

25:41 pay attention on how Amanda speaks with a normal human tone, not if it came from a Old TV

Scene Selection 0:00 - Intro 0:58 - Part 1: Aunt Kate 3:43 - Part 2: An Entity inside the tapes 11:56 - Part 3: Digging Deeper 20:34 - Part 4: The End? 27:01 - Part 5: The Secret Tapes 35:35 - Part 6: The Secret Story of Amanda 45:12 - Outro

Did you know that Amanda had every right to kill woolie , since he is more evil than we think . In the one of the recordings where this little girl disappeared everyone says that it was Amanda because at the end she says that she loves mint chocolate flavor but if you listen closely you can hear wooly talking before the little girl disappeares that his mother also throws him party’s or something like that and before the mother starts speaking to the father wooly says that he has a surprise for her then she disappears

I knew this game was haunting when I first saw it. Seeing Rebecca in that recording in that room with those people... eerie as hell. And you'd be surprised at how often this happens in real life. Those "MISSING" photos of kids plastered all over the city streets make more sense...

I know we all love wooly, but when wooly is gone and Amanda asks if she can share her secret - in both possible endings there we DONT die. I'm pretty sure at this point that wooly represents the demon balaam, and Rebecca and balaam are fighting for control over Amanda. When Rebecca manages to get rid of wooly she is freed from the demon, but is still trapped within the show. But when wooly remains the demon manages to gain control over Rebecca and therefore Amanda, and also over Rebecca's dead body - her body now twisted into a possessed demonic monster

My theory: Hamelin wasn’t just interested in demonology, but was a front for a demonic cult that worshipped this demon.

So the dynamic voice response system is what allows the cartoon to hear the kids' responses and then respond in kind? Like the little girl and the mint chocolate chip icecream? I wonder what all Rebecca has "gone through" prior to being adopted by Sam. It makes me think she always had some paranormal sensitivities. Also - it still bugs me that BlabBot says to "give my condolences to Kate". Why would you send condolences to someone who is already presumably dead?

Wooly isn't Sam.. He's an employee to contain Amanda. You can see in the credits of episodes there is an "containment" part that it cuts to. This is why Amanda also mocks him when she drugs him saying "It's all just pretend". This is my theory on Wooly. He is evil.

15:30 I initially thought these were eyes but having a closer look, doesn't it look like wool? Also it's really unusual that Amanda is extremely hostile to Wooly and we learn almost nothing about who Wooly is too.

Maybe Wooly is the presumed employee who created the tapes and was essentially spying. They got caught and became him as punishment. It could be why Wooly knows so much, and why he doesn't seem to be on either side, in a sense.

32:48 Look how shocked Woolly is when answering 'sam'

Imo, Amanda the Adventurer is a commentary on the horrible mistreatment child actors suffer. I always feel so bad for these kids that are thrown into the limelight for the sake of their parents' egos.

This game is severely underrated and deserves more attention. It went through so many different stages and ended up being one of my favorite horror games ever. It's scary, it's disturbing, the puzzles are clever and never unfair, the atmosphere is unnerving, and the story is a damn good one. This game seriously needs more attention than it currently gets. Edit: I meant as in positivity. I get that the game is popular af.

27:50 In the tape with Lauren and her disappearance, I realized when the mother puts the camera down you can see a car and that car looks exactly like the car in a photo in a different update when you can roam around the area with the bloody writing in the walls. If anyone thinks I'm wrong please tell me.

When wooly got sad when we found out about the gift's name، Maybe Amanda aka Rebecca wanted to thank kate for helping her, that's why she was so focused on getting the name, but wooly wanted her to come back tomorrow or not to deliver the package, what if wooly is actually the evil one since he doesn't want anyone to know about the story behind the show, and Amanda keeps trying to tell the people about what's behind the company? Wooly works with the company, maybe he's the VILLAIN not Amanda, and when Amanda dr4ged wooly, maybe that's when the company dr4ged Rebecca so she continues the show, maybe the surgery she gave to wooly was what they gave to Rebecca, that's why she said " im out there, somewhere.. " that means she is still alive or maybe dead and her body is somewhere, anut kate wants us to help her with the investigation, that's why she gave us the tapes. Just a theory. 💁

I'm wondering if anyone ever asked Amanda "why" when she asked us if we could keep a secret Edit: it gives you the sad ending right away where you upset Amanda and she tells you to leave EDITING AGAIN: It is very anticlimatic lol. She does the sad ending cutscene for it and tells you to leave Final edit: strawberry banana pie does nothing sorry guys D:

I find it odd that in the "demon ending," the entity emerges from the attic door rather than the TV

Fun fact: Hameln within the mouse logo is a direct reference to the Pied Piper fable. In short, a town called Hameln is plagued by rats, and they call upon the Pied Piper to lure the rats away. He does so, but the townsfolk refuse to pay him, so he lures away their children who are never seen again. I believe this is why only children are being entranced and taken by Hameln, seeing as the parents will watch Amanda with their kids but go unaffected.

I always thought that the voice she doesn’t want to listen to (the voice playing in her headphones) was Wooly, not the monster. The monster is Amanda’s form when overtaken by the demons that she summoned.

The mystery does not end here just yet though. The sequel to this game has recently been announced. The story will continue.

This storyline of Amanda is so bone chilling

That would make sense as to why Amanda/the entity is so determined in trying to kill or get rid of Wooly; it didn’t make sense that Amanda would just want to kill him out of nowhere (at least in this game where there’s so many symbolic messages).The entity wants full control and with Wooly there to calm Amanda/Rebecca down, it can’t do that.

Something that I just noticed is that when asking about the dead tree it sticks to that picture for a couple of seconds before cutting to the dead fox in the bush, I feel like that tree might also be where Amanda was buried when she died, or it could be something else

Why did the barn house look at as at 32:50 when we mention Sam. Does it know something??

29:10 When Sam Is talking about The show, If you quickly realize that Wooly has the same exact voice that he has. That means he was stuck in the Tv show redirected as Wooly.

Always wondered if the kids are Wooly solely because in the clip where the girl disappears wooly is eating an ice cream and I'm pretty sure that's what Amada's commenting on, as well as all the meat. It also means that Wooly is likely, atm at least, Kate. It may explain the 'do you trust me' segments too. Idk tho, could be a stretch lol.

Well then, I can say already that this was worth the wait

Amanda: "Who can help when you are hurting?" Viewer: N O B O D Y Amanda in the alternate tape: "When a friend has an accident, sometimes NOBODY can help them!"

What I thought was interesting was that Hameln Entertainment has a mouse logo, Hameln also sounds like Hamlin, as in the town from the story “The Pied Piper of Hamlin”. In that story, the town of Hamlin was overrun by rats, so the people hired the Pied Piper to get rid of the rats, which he does so by playing an entrancing song and luring them out, after the Piper gets rid of the rats the people of Hamlin refused to pay him so he entranced the children of Hamlin with his music and lured them away, never to be seen again. This reminds me of how children who were watching the Amanda the Adventure show would just wind up disappearing

Great video, there is nothing like a perfect marriage or relationship, I learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago I and my wife divorced because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it

when I first heard about this game, I honestly didn’t expect much from it but I’m pleasantly surprised at how deep the story actually goes, this review was really helpful to contextualize it all :D

What is there to say? I've followed this game since you first mentioned it on your channel, watched two separate playthroughs of the full game by different RU-vidrs, and now - with perfect timing - there is the one thing I still needed. An overlook of EVERYTHING. I love your explanation and lore videos so much, they're detailed, well-structured and concise, with great editing and your very pleasant voice leading our deep dives into these games. Thanks for the hard work, you are so appreciated!

Wow, the amount of content squeezed into this game is amazing. Good on the developer, and I look forward to seeing what he has in store for us in the future :3

The demonic entities mentioned in the game are the following: Paimon, Bael, Balaam. They're usually summoned together, the three of them have the abilities to be able to make someone wealthy, knowledgeable & powerful. But Paimon doesn't like to use a female host due to his face which is described as a face of a woman but have a body of a man so he's likely not going to use Rebecca as a host due to her gender, Meanwhile Bael & Balaam is perfectly fine with using Rebecca as a host. But also keep in mind that most of the 72 Demons are actually (Somewhat) peaceful as long as you give them the respect & use the proper tools in rituals, also its believed that you can hear noises from them Symbolizing their arrival to those who summoned them.

There's actually another secret that you missed- On the back of the newspaper clipping you get about carlton's disappearance, the one that falls from the billboard, on the back of it there's a minor mention of some "artifact" thing being stolen/missing. It's a very minor thing but it might play a much bigger role in the mystery behind everything than it appears~

Fun fact: you can do the things to unlock the secret tapes in any order, but no matter what order you do to unlock the secret tapes, the tapes will always unlock in the same order.

I think I know why Lauren didn't listen or talk to her mum because the demon inside amanda hypnotize her into ignoring her mother and father and the reason she wasn't in the room again because the demon told her to leave. Since superhorrorbro said "hypnotic trance" giving me this theory. 😵‍💫

Can we just appreciate how Mike does so much research and work for his videos? Like going into the game code and stuff, mad respect dude!

This game is so interesting. I feel like there’s potentially going to be a sequel.

I like the theory of Sam being Woolly. There's a demonology ties of him being a "sacrificial lamb" or "scapegoat".

A little tidbit you might've missed in the original beta release is one of the tapes, upon typing "wooly", shows a field circled. Possibly indicating where they buried Sam.

And he is back, I hope you had a good vacation, and these reviews have stayed the same for years and these still feel fresh.

Glad you picked out the demonic names, heard that on my first playthrough and immediately understood what they were. Haven't seen anyone else bring them up.

Long theory: At first I thought wooly may have been the doctor but now I’ve looked deeper into the game and I’m almost certain he’s actually balaam 1. We know he tries to prevent Amanda from calling for help 2. He does indeed have powers he chooses not to use and whenever he’s seen using them it comes with a multicolored glitch whenever he stops the card stands or forces u to type in his name or when he forces Amanda to think differently (keep in mind he does wink at u when he does this as if he’s saying “shhh “) 3. He does ask Amanda to bring more friends even though the only way to bring them is by kidnapping them this is why Amanda just ignores what he says ENTIRLEY. 4. He asks Amanda to give him special treats. At first this doesn’t seem like much until u realize that Occasionally the bakery will turn into the butcher and in the picnic episode the cupcakes turn into meat this would mean that the butcher and the bakery are the exact same thing and that these “special treats” are actually human meat from the victims.(also keep in mind wooly smiles in the butcher) 5. When amanda turns into the demon in the lonely kitten wooly points at her then his wool disappears and seemingly appears on Amanda’s face while he’s stuck(demons need a host) 6. When wooly asks if you trust him he holds out his hand why?? It’s not like he can just pull u in (unless he can)and amanda is protecting the viewer by coming to the show early so he doesn’t pull you in. 6. The shows theme disappears when he’s gone and Hameln made this show for the demon specifically so it would make sense for the show to lose everything when they lost the “host” of it 7. Wooly always comes back unscathed for some reason even after he gets hurt… the demon balaam has powers of immortality and a fruit that is tied with immortality is peaches

Sam is the barn because during the chicken coupe scene if you type sam the barn quicky looks at you then looks back, also the barn has different eyes from the rest of the inanimated objects

Oh my god its finally out. So happy to see this released. I watched your playthrough of the game and enjoyed that, so this was a treat. Cant wait for the next one

I assumed the contract signing scene was Rebecca signing a deal with the devil. Her signature would be meaningless in terms of legal guardianship because she's a child. But demons aren't exactly picky when it comes to laws protecting minors.

I'm literally obsessed with this game, and I look forward to seeing more of it from the creators! 😊

Oh whoa, i just noticed that in the Petting Zoo video when Amanda starts to warp reality around her asking us to help the Lonely Kitten, Wooly actually regains his sense of self in the background. Go to about 19:12 and watch Wooly in the background. D:

22:10(paused)- Yep. That'll give me nightmares.

Man I hope we get a sequel, cause god damn I'd love to see more about this universe and also would live to learn more about what demon they were specifically using, if not multiple. And also the potential to save Rebecca, Sam, and every other victim of this demon and the Hemlin foundation would be cool to attempt, especially with this potential new ally from the hat ending.

Is it just me but does Wooly appear to look behind the screen sometimes? As if he was looking at a camera crew. You can see that at 10:42 & 16:19. It’s almost like he’s looking at how he should react. It could add to the theory that he’s an Hameln worker? He’s there to keep Amanda in order so she doesn’t turn into a demon and scare the kids away. His true intention is to attract the kids’ souls into the show, not scare them into closing the TV or something.. The secret tape where Wooly is sitting alone in a room, could show how his true self transfers in and out of the show. He’s waiting for his cue. Maybe that’s the reason why Amanda is so mean to Wooly, it’s because she knows that he works for Hameln. When she gives the mysterious drink to Wooly, she’s says: « it’s all pretend » because they both know that nothing will actually happen to Wooly since Hameln probably have access and control over « Wooly’s » body and can get him out of the episode at any time. Whereas Amanda's/Rebecca's body is buried somewhere so there no way for her to take control of her body again and she’s stuck in the show. I'm not 100% convinced that Sam Colton is dead. I think he might be trapped in the barn and that’s why he’s the only one (besides Wooly and Amanda) that reacts to you answering Sam. If not, I think he might be the guy in the red suit at the end and he’s hiding his identity because Hameln is looking to eliminate him. He’s Sam’s on the run, also trying to save his daughter.

*Yes! 😃 Been waiting on this!!* 🙌🏾 Loving how how much Amanda The Adventurer progressed overall. The ideas were always there, but now the story has really started to come together into something *truly interesting!* I look forward to seeing what's next for this game! 😊🙏🏾

*Wooly being Aunt Kate* is a more likely Option, and explains some _other Aspects of the Tapes and the puzzles presented with them:_ Amanda is *sending a Card to Kate* in 'In the Neighbourhood', and in its Alternate Version, _it's a Birthday Card for Wooly_ - yet when you put the Code into Blabbot, it tells Riley *"SEND MY CONDOLENCES TO KATE",* followed by _offering a Birthday Cake_ you need to add Candles to, implying that _the Birthday is for Kate;_ The *other key point* to Kate investigating HamelN Entertainment is because _when Sam disappeared and HamelN took control_ of the Show, their first Announcement was *to Cancel a Fundraising Event being held at Kate Parks' Library,* 'Wooly's Read-Along' - something _Sam and Rebecca would've prevented_ if they had any choice; We still have *no clear answer* as to why Kate simply Vanished, but given _her side-hobby of Paranormal Investigation,_ she'd have known to *set a Fail-safe* if she were caught - that being _the calling for Riley to finish her work Exposing HamelN..._ I think I might also know *where Sam fits into all of this:* When Sam tried to pull Rebecca out of HamelN's manipulations, they _wouldn't yet_ have properly enlisted the Demon's support - they'd have to deal with him... *another way...* Another unusual abnormality in the Game is _why the Attic rearranges itself seemingly to assist_ in piecing the Story together - if it was the Demon, it'd be easier for it to *let Riley just watch the Show* and be Taken like the other Victims! Instead, someone is interacting with Riley _outside_ of the Show, where the Demon has Influence: *This,* I believe, is the _restless Spirit of Sam Colton_ trying to *exact Vengeance on HamelN Entertainment for their Corruption of his Daughter and Show from Beyond the Grave!*

Is it possible Woolie isn’t a stand-in for Sam, but for the demonic entity? You could say that the entity (as Woolie) is attempting to pacify Rebecca so it can gather more souls in it’s pocket dimension, and knows that Rebecca has the strength to rebel to ask for help. This could also explain why Woolie tries to disuade her so many times from sending a package to Kate, who knew Sam and Rebecca and is implied to be a paranormal PI, and why he looked sad when Riley provides the right name. If Woolie was Sam, wouldn’t he want to encourage Kate (and now Riley) to intervene and help them get away from a demonic entity? Edit: Also, I wanted to mention that I can’t help but smile with Sam when he talks about his show transitioning to cartoon; his excitement is contagious in a way!

But you can find out that when Amanda said Daddy Chicken she was sad. "And I see a... 'daddy chicken'." Also when Sam interrupted the Demon Speeches, Hameln found that Sam was becoming a problem so they killed Him when saying Mr. Fox is in a trap which means, Hameln like in the end. Should be stopped. Also when Lauren went missing Amanda said: "Isn't so much fun on your own?"

You know the story is deep when superhorrorbro release a 45min video about it
