Amanda The Adventurer
The console release date for Amanda The Adventurer is now set and a whole new group of games will be playing Amanda The Adventurer by Halloween
If you missed out on Amanda The Adventurer in the past due to you being a console gamer over a PC gamer, then you are in for a bit of luck here this Halloween. It was announced not too long ago that MANGLEDmaw Games and DreadXP were going to bring this twisted little title over to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S down the line. As it seems, down the line is now set for October 10th for the game to land out there with all manner of fun little updates and upgrades that it has gone through since it first launched. Upgrades that Switch gamers who have Amanda The Adventurer out there will be able to get as well when the game launches on all of those consoles out there. Now you can get a bit of that edutainment fun in while mixing in all of the other darker horror titles during this October season. As if we will not play them all beyond, that is…
If you are new to Amanda The Adventurer, we recommend watching our fun review that we had for it back when it dropped on the PC. We had a lot of fun with it and tormenting another creator with that fun. If you are just looking for a weird little overview of it all, well, here we go. Amanda The Adventurer is a horror puzzle game built around a stack of VHS tapes our protagonist has found in the attic of their aunt's house. An edutainment series of the same name that seems to have a lot of darker overtones to it all and will be needed to be watched so we can escape the attic alive. Another of the many indie horror games that are playing on the nostalgia of the early 2000s and late '90s while mixing in all of the Creepypasta elements that make for a true horror in the mix. Here is a sample of it all to get you ready for the full review we had for it a long while ago.
Amanda The Adventurer — Console Release Date
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — Halloween season — and developer MANGLEDmaw Games and horror publisher DreadXP are starting the month in style with the console release of horror fan-favorite: Amanda The Adventurer. On October 10th, console players will be able to join Riley Park on their unsettling escapade for the first time on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, while Nintendo Switch players will enjoy a free update with improved graphics, performance, stability, and gameplay polish.
Having inherited their Aunt Kate’s house, Riley Park starts exploring what the reclusive woman left behind. In the attic, Riley is surprised to find a stack of VHS tapes next to an old TV set. The tapes seem to be episodes of an early 2000s-era children’s cartoon they have never seen before. Intrigued, Riley pops the first tape into the VCR.
Relatively simplistic in appearance, it appears to have been made locally and features a little girl named Amanda and her loyal yet shy best friend, Wooly the Sheep. While the episode appears charming and straightforward on the surface, an uneasiness starts to settle in as Riley realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set. A gnawing feeling in the back of their mind presses them to stop, but Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something, and Riley becomes fascinated with finding out what that something may be.
Features:
- A short yet intricate single-player horror experience.
- Animated tapes that tell an unsettling story, all under the guise of a welcoming children’s cartoon.
- Classic, 90s-style CGI that recalls a simpler era of animation.
- Characters who interact directly with the viewer—a dream come true for any 90s kid…or is it a nightmare?
- Challenging, escape room-style puzzles using clues hidden within the tapes.
Did you sleep on Amanda The Adventurer when it was only out on PC or did you need to wait to be able to play it on consoles instead? Will it have some of the same gameplay that we had on the PC or did things need to get fully reworked to work for a controller instead? How will it handle the various ways we have to play and restart the game and will it be just as clever as other games that required this style of play on the PC? Sneak on down to the comment section and solve all of those puzzles for us out there. We will certainly share all that we can for Amanda The Adventurer as it flows onto the consoles, so please keep on creeping back in to see and hear about all of that as we also wait for the sequel to launch out there too.
