Amanda The Adventurer Is BACK With New Secrets! | Amanda The Adventurer 2 Demo 

Mat and Ash not getting “Pue Berty” was the best thing I've seen today💀

15:02, By Pew Berty. Don't worry Matt, puberty can sneak up on anyone!

I like how the window is very obviously fake because her shadow gets cast on it. Also, selling the Rooster seems to be a reference to how you can call the Rooster in the first game Samuel to get a reaction. Rebecca may have been manipulated into giving up Samuel in return for escaping her torment?

26:46 Something i noticed watching UniqueGeese stream this: Mr. Rooster is most likely a metaphor for her father. In the first game, if you type in Amanda's fathers name to name the rooster, she says something spooky (obviously), because the rooster is the "daddy" chicken. When Amanda sells Mr. Rooster in this game, it may seem ridiculous that she just tosses him up and money falls down, but this could be her father going to heaven after he died and Hamlin getting paid for it by having him out of the picture.

22:08 neat little detail here. she says “places i could have-“ then she corrects herself and says “places we can go!”

MatPat: id love to do a classic I Spy book Is your whole career not an ongoing game of I Spy

The "if you can find him" about Wooly makes me think that he will be in the game, but hidden behind some major secret. Sure, Wooly could be dead and gone, but that feels too easy. I think Wooly still has a role to play in this story and he will be important for the true ending.

Realizing the Possum is likely trying to help Amanda pass on, thus why it left her with two coins for the River Styx.

Mathew Patrick, renowned puzzle solver, known throughout the world for his problem-solving skills, is foiled by the joke ‘Pue Birdie’ on a book talking abt a teenager😂😂

MatPat missing the pun at 15:14 is honestly super on brand (it's puberty bc it's a book about a teenager lol)

I’m pretty sure the author of the “Am the Person, the are story” book is Notan Ant. Given the cover art, I’m guessing it’s about a colony of ants pretending to be a person. The joke is simply that the ant who wrote it doesn’t know English very well. But hey, that’s just a theory, a LITERATURE Theory! Thanks for reading!

1:02:53 that is almost on-point. let me explain this to the best of my knowledge: this is NOT a cipher or youtube link, its a bug and im not sure why it happens. after decompiling the game, you can find a .txt file named "V_e1_s9c". this is used for the closed captions in this scene. ash was correct, this means episode 1, scene 9c, but the "_8" on the other hand is supposed to tell the scene's eight-line dialogue. this error only happens in this chain of events because the "c" in "s9c" represents when you protect amanda from the opossum, its actually not connected to sam at all. it displays the text "V_e1_s9c_8" because something (i dont what) is preventing it from displaying the normal dialogue, so it just displays the subtitle information instead. tldr: not a hidden message, specific subtitle file for the scene is broken and just resorts to using the file name. V_e1_s9c.txt 1 00:00:07,083 --> 00:00:10,083 Amanda: Wow, who the heck was that guy?! 2 00:00:10,375 --> 00:00:13,375 Amanda: He was going to take my coins! 3 00:00:14,875 --> 00:00:17,458 Amanda: Good, all four are still there. 4 00:00:17,833 --> 00:00:21,875 Amanda: Let’s count how many we need to pay for the ticket to London. 5 00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:25,958 Amanda: One, two, three, four! 6 00:00:27,916 --> 00:00:30,916 Amanda: Oh, hey, it's time to catch my train! 7 00:00:47,916 --> 00:00:49,958 Amanda: This is fun, I guess, 8 00:00:49,958 --> 00:00:52,750 but I wish I really could go see the world.

maybe the surgical lights scene is trying to tell us that wooly survived whatever amanda did to him. because, after all, the last place we saw him was on a surgical table under those same lights

I love that the chapter says "chat no one explain Pue Berty to them."

I love how everyone focused on the “Pue Berty” pun and completely missed Matt calling the skyscraper manga an “anime.”

34:44 I gotta say, the authors of that article seem really intent on making this man out to be crazy. I could see myself being so affected by finding the body of a girl that I'd hang up her doll in honor of her, especially if I'm a retired unmarried old person with nothing else to do. Then because the experience impacted you so much, it's still on your mind and you end up thinking "That poor girl was taken far too soon. She deserves at least another doll after all the life experiences that were taken from her." Not that big of a stretch from there to get a bit carried away, given enough idle time.

MatPat taking 1 hour to play a 15 minute demo is classic GTLive

57:11 oh the lights! it lingers on the drawings 'cause they're arranged in the shape of the surgical lights!

the devs be watching you like struggling over an unintentional error message bug

38:05 I think it's so interesting that now that Rebecca seems to have some awareness of herself as Amanda, the tapes are actively rewriting her as that happens. Shifting from "all the places I could have gone" to "all the places we can go" because it fits the narrative of the episode better

Ash left out the biggest creep factor on Mexico's Isle of Dead Dolls: a number of spiders have taken up residence, living in and around the dolls strung up around the island. Given his immense fear of spiders (see the GTLive "Gummy vs. Real" episode), this is now the most cursed location.

I can't get the thought of what if it's "He tried to bind me" out of my head, instead of Amanda's dad trying to find her it's someone trying to bind Amanda to the tapes

Some secret responses she says are for Kate: I wish I could still visit her… Sam: wait? that’s… Amanda, Rebecca or you: do you really think you could do that? Wooly: yeah! If you can find him Butcher: No! Why are you being so mean to me

"chat no one explain Pue Berty to them" best chapter title ever

every video, my belief that Ash is a figment of Mat's imagination gets stronger.

okay so I was wondering what her response would be to different answers when she asked, "if you could visit anyone in the world who would you go see?" and here is the responses I got: Rebecca: "do you really think you could do that?" (not in a hopeful way, more cold and sinister, staring directly at camera a red hue fades in but then it glitches away and she shakes her head to "snap out of it") Kate: "I wish I could still visit her..." (looking down and sad/hopeless) butcher: "No! why are you being so mean to me?!" (backed away and scared, might've triggered fight or flight or something, p.s it broke my heart when she said that) librarian: normal response Amanda: same as Rebecca sam: 38:00 wooly: 56:48 I'm confused and curious on what might've made her act terrified of the butcher because we never directly see anything happen just her being disgusted in a short clip. maybe it could just be the fact that she couldn't stop from going into the butchers happening? idk but if someone has a theory/answer let me know please

There are a lot of references to the number 5, 5 books, 5 lights, 5 pages, 5 coins. It might be just hinting at the 5 lights on the surgical light (idea based off of @pinkerhero 's discovery) or it might have a reference to something in the future. I like how the dev knows exactly how to get us interested in a game just from the demo. Already the creepiness in the intro and in sections of the tape but also giving answers about wooly. Also stating that Amanda's dad might be alive or that she still remembers him.

MatPat calling the Mister Men the Persona People is quite possibly the best thing ever 😂😭

I actually wanted Matt to play this when I first saw the demo- and here we are

I wanna see a live reaction of Mat realizing it was a puberty pun

I’m not sure if someone else has said this yet but the fact that we can only sell Mr. Rooster for coins and not any of the other toys made me think about the other game where in the farm, if you answer Amanda’s question about what you call a daddy chicken with Sam, she starts to ask us questions about how we knew that. Also, this is a bit of a stretch but also when Mr. Rooster floats in the sky could represent Amanda’s dad going to heaven…? I’m not really sure but this is what I first thought but I might be totally wrong and just looking wayyy to much into it 😅

22:40 that shadow is not shadowing Really shows you its just the ceilinglamp getting brighter

I’m so happy that MP still does GTLive

You just know Tom is going to rake Mat over the coals for missing Puberty when the Game Theory video comes out.

The shadow stopping when her hand goes away is likely an animation error. Since most animators don’t animate out of frame, her hand stops moving once it’s taken away to count the coins, and it’s likely that the creator didn’t take into account of the appearance of the shadow in that specific angle showing how it stopped.

I can finally tell my 8th grade teacher’s joke and it be relevant! 😂 Did you that The Appalachian region is the only area to have Himalayan Opossums? Him-a-layin in the middle of the road! 🤣🤣

I'm actually quite surprised to see so little youtubers already know about 'Isle Of The Dead Dolls' prior to this game. I remember being really interested in it when I was a kid.

22:18 it's funny how Amanda's shadow looks like a hidden Mickey 😂😅

in 21:20 theres a blink and miss moment. "created by sam colton" appears on the tape in a light text. Possibly implying that this tape was made by sam to expose hamlin as he is portrayed as a theif possum.

The combination of Matt calling a manga an anime, and both Matt and Ash missing Pue Birdie (Puberty), was both the highest and lowest part of my day. xD

Glad to see MatPat covering Amanda again! Let’s see what Hameln is up to and how Wooly ends up tormented

8:15 You are Riley. Your dear, departed Aunt Kate (Park) was the local public librarian, who left you her house (along with an attic stuffed with notes, home-recorded _Amanda the Adventurer_ tapes, and Hamelin-branded toys) in the first game. Kate was a big promoter of the show back before Hamelin Entertainment took over and everything started going weird. She was also a bit of an amateur sleuth and apparently something of a polymath, and when children started disappearing in connection with the show (along with the show's creator Sam, a dear friend), she and another friend (an actual private eye referred to only once by their initials in the first game) took it upon themselves to open their own investigation. In Aunt Kate's... de facto Last Will and Testament, which opens the first game, she makes a point to insist that she _never_ would've involved _you_ in the investigation if she weren't _sure_ she was going to die sometime shortly after she sent the letter.

The breakdown Amanda has over the possum taking her coins is so heartbreaking. She really is just a kid. I love horror games that lean into reminding you of the fact these dead kids were KIDS. We’ve grown so used to the meme “haha dead kids”, so having games and media that remind us “no these are DEAD KIDS and all that entails” is really chilling and heartbreaking. Love it.

I wonder if the “Delly Shubal” is a reference to actress Shelly Duval

"He tried to find me" could also mean the demon, the "man in the headphones". That was my first thought. Or the studio president, or whoever it was making Amanda read the summoning words.

I think literally everyone just got a stabbing pain in their nose after Ash reminded us the torture that was the Covid nose swab

amanda is soo “who’s afraid of little old me” coded

14:28 ash i love that you sung teenage dirtbag LOLL

a thing i dont see ppl talk about is that the rooster was the way we refered to sam last time so selling it could mean something

The couch possum is prompting sooooo many questions.

I wanted to see them react to the "I love to daydream about all the places I could have g- think about all the places we can go!" line so bad but every time Amanda says it they were distracted 😭first laughing at the tom thing, and then reacting to the sam/wooly responses!

I think the surgical lights were wooly

“It’s interesting she has four fingers” ofc matpat would be paying attention to the number of fingers

Mat: I can figure out the price of diamond armor from Minecraft, figure out the lore of any game, and know the size of Luigi’s… junk, from just one image! Also Mat: By puberty, Pue-ey? I don’t know

Amanda can lift a 20T hammer. Started out with 5 coins took away 2 for Paris and left with 3. Then Isle of Doll cost 3 coins and we sold Mr. Rooster for 3 coins. We found 1 coin in pocket to pay 4 coins to London. If we don't help against the possum she losses 1 coin and we're back to 3. We find 3 coins in the cushions which gives us 6 coins, we take away 4 coins for trip and are left with 2 coins. Now how do these work with the video code I wish I knew.

I forgot how much i love mat and ash's amanda videos. And how spooked this series actually makes me

I love how MatPat gets to hang out with his family more now that he’s retired but also still makes appearances for us on GT Live!

Oooh the dead dolls island is definitely a place here in Mexico, an old man used to collect ragged and old dolls, the trees are filled with creepy dolls all over the place. Weird energy.

The "I'll always be your baby" book you thought of is actually "Love You Forever". I receieved that book when I was very young and when my neice was born, I bought a copy for her because it meant so much to me. Even though I didn't read it all the time or anything it still stuck with me as a parent always being there for their child no matter how old they get until the parent grew old and sick, the child returns to sing the song his mother sang him all those years. It's a very simple book, but I love it.

Awe, that was sweet to mention *Grav3yardGirl.* I know Bunny has the “BananaPeppers” channel now, so she’s technically not 100% retired, but I’m sure she’d be flattered that you thought of her when looking at such an immense collection of creepy dolls. 🖤 I do miss her usual* uploads and I hope she’s doing well. 😊🐊💞

I vote that you bring back the sound activated color changing lights behind the couch.

In dire need of that "I'm Amanda" tiktok/shorts format going around

13:07 "I was really excited about solving the lore around who's checking out these books, but that's a l33ch" Yep, the "Grown Attached" lore is what we want (if only because of the puns) 🩸 23:40 That castle looks like the East Block of the Canadian Parliament (but I'm not completely sure that's it). 25:37, 29:54, 34:10 Yeah, the Island of the Dead Dolls was new to me too. It's near Mexico City, and it presents a disturbing gallery of dolls, decaying, dismembered, and hanging from trees. The former caretaker of the island, Don Julián Barrera is said to have either come across the body of a young girl floating in the canals or failed to save her from drowning. The next day, Barrera found a doll drifting down the canal; believing it belonged to the girl, he hung the doll from a tree in her memory and as a talisman to ward off evil spirits (and then continued to do the same with other dolls he found or were given to him). 28:37 Apparently that's not a code, but just a broken subtitle. Like Ash said, that is an id for the line that should be there ("I wish I really could go see the world"), but it's missing from the files.

"He tried to find me" could maybe also be "he tried to bind me"

1. I love Ash's Teenage Dirtbag reference. I love that song. 2. Unless its a bit, I can't believe MatPat and Ash don't get the Pue Bertie pun

I just saw the title of the playthrough section after he found the Pue Berty book "Chat no one explain Pue Berty to them" Looks like it is a bit late for that seeing that most of the comments are doing just that.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE CHAPTER TITLES 😭

I'm hyped for the whole game this fall. The Lore is getting better.

This does raise one interesting question I haven't seen anyone notice: Wooly is apparently K PL's mascot. We can assume the "PL" is Public Library... So Wooly is a library mascot originally? Or was he just taken from Amanda and used by the Library? I imagine Hamlen would have something to say about that...

Matpat maybe the meaning of V_e1_s9c_8 is the id of a file containing text subtitles that amanda said, at the end of the episode amanda should have said "but I wish I really could go see the world." but at that moment her voice sounded like it was corrupt and could not be heard clearly so it displayed the id of the text subtitle. Oh and also try to press the T button on the keyboard while in the main menu when you just opened the demo game, it says it can teleport but don't know what the teleport function is because it just teleports randomly. And also during the amanda session asking where the place we want to visit and told to answer, try typing the word amanda or wooly or butcher to see the expression from amanda.

I watch a lot of analog horror, and while I was watching this, MY HECKING MONITOR DECIDED TO UNALIVE ITSELF SCARING THE FRICK OUT OF ME! - "Pue Berty" I also love the movement and expression that Amanda has now

the thing I like most about this game so far is the fact that Amanda's character displays the fact that she is a child more clearer like how she throws a tantrum (Like a child) when she loses her coin.

Honestly so impressed by how matpats able to remember plot details like in the intro, but maybe i shouldn't be surprised ive seen how he has the fnaf lore downloaded into his memory!

57:25 Unless she doesn't know that Wooly was Sam? Maybe not, because then why the "He tried to find me," but it is possible that she did something to Wooly without knowing it was her dad trapped in the same universe as her, and she'll be heartbroken later finding out. I can see a showrunner telling AI Amanda that her dad is gone, but actually he's trapped as Wooly, and then when Amanda finds out she'll be filled with grief over her dad being gone beacuse of her.

When Amanda asks who you'd like to go see, I'm super curious if any of the book borrower kids' names fit in those blanks. That would help tie in the whole library setting from the beginning.

I would love it if Mat played Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. It's definitely his kind of game. Chaos and lore! 😂

I’m glad even after Matt retired he still does GTLive I tapped on the video so quick

This man can Print Screen a specific frame in a live footage first try, but doesn't know what puberty is

Me feeling so proud of myself for having solved the “dice” code before Mat and Ash 😆 I never manage that.

33:21 “it’s like graveyard girl retired from youtube and found her own island in mexico.” MAT YOU MEAN THE ONE AND ONLY grav3yardgirl!?!?!? I LOVE BUNNY SFMMMM 😭💖

38:05 she says she daydreams about the places she could have gone but then it cuts and she says can go

36:15 THE MR MEN! I remember those guys,it's been years. My swim towel is actually Mr.Tickles

14:26 Ash read my mind there lol.

It's so good to still see him around ❤

Matt missing the "puberty" pun absolutely killed me

29:50 The only thing I would add to Ash´s explanation is that the dolls alledgelly fend of evil spirits and/or the Devil (depending on the version you find). 30:41 It´s interesting that after mentioning the island of the dead dolls or "La isla de las muñecas" in spanish she mentions a special "toy" hidden in the woods maybe a doll perhaps? 32:57 It´s not a massive art proyect is something that the man living there has been doing for decades, although I don´t know if he still alive, the sign that says "contenido maldito" in english is cursed content, referring to the dolls hanged on the trees, as far as I know those are the ones that contain evil spirits that have been trapped in them. This is one of the many folktales or "Leyendas" that we have here on Mexico, even though the most known ones are "La llorona" or "El chupacabras" the ones that aren´t known worldwide are the creepiest ones. (edit): I had to change what I wrote because I didn´t saw that they looked it up on google.

I don't know if anyone has commented this but the last location on the posters is definitely the Plaza Mayor, in Madrid (Spain). The arches, horse statue and towers match perfectly.

Not sure if you've already tried these but a few more names that get a unique reaction are: Amanda Sam Butcher Kate choo-choo Those are all I could find, not sure if there's more

Matpat: connecting mirror details and figuring out riddles on the daily. Also matpat : I don’t get the pun on pue berty🤷‍♀️

Matt back in the jacket phase makes me happy lol

Not me yelling "IT'S PUBERTY" at the tv screen 😭

MatPat being able to explain theories he's worked on in the past is incredible. What's even better, is seeing him go into a sequel of some sort with ZERO knowledge and losing his mind wanting to theorize about it a bunch.

27:57 ok but why do I kinda love the possum he looks so bashful

The voice actor in this sounds like they had an incredible time with this, it’s so compelling

Holy moly, I need ash to know that when may said teenage teenager I started to sing teenage dirt bag and then she joined in.

The pure joy when mat see’s woolly is priceless.

THE LORE IS GROWING!!!

Amanda's reaction when you said you wanted to visit Wooly was so much fun. she knows what happened to him, an she's not gonna tell us. a lot of her lines feel really alive. the writing and acting for this game are amazing.

6:15 I just noticed the worm makes a 2!

Also the fact Matt acknowledged that the pause machanic was a thing but gor so hung upon lingering hand shots not being solvable now is hilarious
