Edutainment Horror Title ‘Amanda the Adventurer’ Comes to PlayStation, Xbox on October 10 [Trailer]

With DreadXP and developer MANGLEDmaw Games working to get Amanda the Adventurer 2 out for later this year, the teams have announced that the original Amanda the Adventurer will be coming to PlayStation and Xbox consoles on October 10. In addition, the Switch version, which was released last September, will be getting a free update on the same day that will feature improved graphics, performance, stability, and gameplay polish.

Amanda the Adventurer puts you in the shoes of Riley Park, who 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.

Amanda the Adventurer is also available on PC via Steam.
