You don't recall any specific episodes or characters in the show. Or what happens in the show exactly. Or much about it at all come to think about it, but it still feels strangely familiar.

    Curiosity takes hold and you decide to watch the tapes and let nostalgia take you back to a simpler age.

    Amanda the Adventurer is a delightfully creepy homage to an era of childhood innocence tinged with nostalgia. Its unique blend of children’s cartoon aesthetics, intricate puzzles, and interactive horror makes it a memorable experience that will surely haunt you long after the credits roll. Despite its brief length, it’s a nice experience that is worth embarking on, especially for fans of psychological horror or puzzles.

    The game is pretty fun and is mostly full of positives, except that the story is a huge disappointment after the demos, and there are some puzzles that don’t make any sense. It’s a unique game and can be worth buying when on sale, but not for the full £8.

    Unless you are either a die-hard fan of puzzles or analog horror, and really don’t mind a lackluster and increasingly tiresome version of both, there are far better and spookier games out there than Amanda the Adventurer.

    Quite entertaining, short, but concise with its playable proposal
    It's quite capable of being scary and disturbing.

    This game kinda sucks ngl. It has lackluster gameplay, which horror games sometimes do but they usually make up for it with horror atmosphereThis game kinda sucks ngl. It has lackluster gameplay, which horror games sometimes do but they usually make up for it with horror atmosphere and/or story. This game does neither.

    Sure, at first everything looks scary, but you quickly learn that nothing can actually hurt you. There isn't any real way to loose so the scary sounds and darkness mean nothing. It is just there so it can pretend to be a horror game, but you are never in any "act or die" situation. There aren't even any jumpscares.

    While the story... exists and you can vaguely understand what happened a lot is left unclear or just unanswered. Maybe it was badly written, maybe it is there so people make youtube videos "solving" the story, either way it sucks.

    And without horror or the story what you have is basically just a glorified simon says. You see something (usually on a tv) and then you copy it and there are no real consequences for doing it wrong.

    Lastly, it is very short. Even when playing it casually you can 100% it in less than 3 hours, which is usually too short for a 9€ game.

    TLDR; Very short, bad gameplay hiding behind the facade of trying to look like a horror game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game's hella overrated TBFH. Hell the original demo/prototype looked alot better than this in many ways, this is mid. For a game about an eldritch horror with tons of abilities it doesn't much about it. Expand
