Keeping with the surprise announcement last week, DreadXP and developer MANGLEDmaw Games have released their edutainment horror game Amanda The Adventurer on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop. Appropriately, the new launch trailer delves into the cutesy side, but quickly turns dark.
Originally released back in April on Steam, 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.
