in the past


i'm fond of the lost children show creepypasta bit and this feeds into that hunger pretty well

i enjoyed the puzzles, i liked that it was short and easy to get to all the stages once you'd figured out the codes and whatnot, i am very happy that it didn't answer questions

i liked it! i have no complaints

Solid game that took took the core essence of the demo/pilot and made it better! With room exploration for puzzles that changes tape by tape and hidden endings and secrets, it became a rapid joy to play through!

Maybe I shouldn't have laughed at them screaming when the oven caught fire...

This game is currently in the Humble Choice for May 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before June 4th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

A spooky puzzle game.

Amanda the Adventurer has a great spooky vibe. The game is played in an attic filled with tons of stuff, and every time I was done watching a video I quickly looked at a doll expecting that doll to move. The entire game has this dark daemonic feeling towards it, and after viewing a tape, different devices are placed on the center table for the player to use and solve puzzles to get additional tapes.

However, the puzzles here are a mixed bag. I think I had a solve rate of maybe 50 to 75 percent without assistance . There are at least a few Steam guides, but there’s very little help in the game and even a minor hint system or at least the main player talking to give the player a hint would have been appreciated. Also, I’ve heard from horror fans this is not that scary, and that’s probably why I’m ok with this.

Pick this up if you want a horror-puzzle hybrid. The entire game is based on a spoof of Dora the Explorer, but it doesn’t even try to pretend it’s normal. This gets pretty wild, though I would recommend trying to make the wrong choices because watching what happens when you make the wrong choice is the most entertaining part.

OH MY DAYS THIS IS TERRIFYING OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I HAD NIGHTMARES AND I HAVEN'T EVN PLAYED IT OH MY GOD OH MY GOD


A construção da atmosfera é até que bem ok e o jogo é relativamente bem bolado por design. A falha é onde a maior parte desses jogos de puzzle falha mesmo, que é em tornar tudo aquilo narrativamente plausível. Quer dizer, o puzzle pelo puzzle em si beleza, mas por que as coisas são daquela forma? Por que a fita aparece se você colocar uma maçã no forno numa temperatura e tempo específicos? Por que molhar o robô leva ao desfecho da trama? O que faltou foi um esforço nesse sentido, mas até que funciona, vai.

Short, sweet, and spooky. Loved this. I've heard there's a sequel in the works, and I'm excited for that.

It's a short game that was developed after a game jam project and it's pretty well done. The game is certainly functional and isn't really lacking in any department: it looks okay, plays okay, the sound and animation qualities are there.

It could help if it had a few more improvements such as being able to get out from the zoom mode by using the left mouse click, making it less tedious to turn the clocks or having the cooking pan always land in the right direction instead of flying around but those are minute details in a game that's about two hours long.

Amanda is your typical horror game that tries to take advantage of childish things, here it’s obviously Dora. It doesn’t really hold any surprise but it’s fun enough to play. I do wish it went further with its themes or it focused better on one of them instead of multiple ones, I think there are a few good ideas such as a child being stuck in a TV world which turns into some kind of hellish place: it’s an interesting concept that doesn’t try to make the player scared for their lives, instead it’s just as scary as hearing about what a killer could have done to a kid. You’ve got a kid right in front of you, suffering, and you can’t do anything about it. There are vague hints of this but ultimately the game stays at a surface level with everything. It seems more like a mix of ideas and jump scares than something cohesive, which is a shame.

It’s a very good parody of Dora on the other hand. The presentation is really top notch.

The puzzles can also get really cryptic. One thing I didn’t understand personally is that at some points in the story where you hit a game over, I wasn’t experiencing a bug where the game didn’t save but it was intentional.

A fun 2 hours for sure, exploring all the secrets and endings was cool. I wish it was a bit longer

very good game so far , i wish there was more of these,

ok not that good
