I just realized, the company is called Hameln, which is the name of a place in Germany that has a story of a mouse catcher that eventually kidnaps the children of the village. That is such a cool easter egg!
The pied piper. Which is why the company's tagline is "follow us to fun" and its logo is a rodent.
didnt game theory point that out
@@ElD-ev4cz Yer they did in their awesome episode 🙂
I'm glad someone else saw that.
@@ElD-ev4cz yeah. he did.
One thing you missed when Amanda says "I'm out there somewhere" Look closely when the screen flashes to red you do see the demon BUT you also see a human person banging on the screen trying to escape. I believe that's Rebecca trying to get out.
Do you mean Rebecca, who is Amanda, or do you mean that Riley was trapped in the tapes without realizing it?
@@alchemysaga3745 Yes Rebecca! Thank you!
Yes! I accidentally paused at that moment and it's such an interesting detail 👀
I think Rebecca is dead cause she said she feel's herself rotting I think that's Sam
@@kaidyer8761 oh, I have no doubt that Rebecca and Sam are both dead but I believe that’s Rebecca’s spirit banging inside the TV.
I think it’s important to note that in Hameln’s response to Sam’s disappearance, they refer to it as “abandonment” as if they’re trying to push the idea that Sam LEFT, rather than was taken.
And I think they put that idea in Rebecca’s head to make it seem like he left her voluntarily, which is why Amanda gets sad when she sees the daddy chicken and gets surprised when you type in Sam instead of rooster.
Honestly, after seeing the story of this game, I actually realize that this game is an allegory for the dark side of children’s entertainment as Amanda the adventure used to be a beloved show on public access made by an honest man who was inspired by his adopted daughter and her joyful imaginative personality but later ends up making getting approached by the wrong people who ends up ruining his and his daughter’s lives with demonic influences, which, as a result causes his “disappearance” and his daughter being used as nothing more than a component for a ritual and it’s honestly heartbreaking to see
I know, it’s really sad. I see a lot of people being really hard on Amanda, but knowing that she’s the soul of a once kind and sweet girl who was loved by her adoptive father but seemingly abandoned and abused by a company who only cared about how much money she could make them makes me feel more sympathy for her.
Mortal of the story don't trust people in cults to become popular
its not real 😭
its just a game bro 😭😭
Tell me you got all As on your essay without telling me you got all As on your essay 😆
20:25 If you notice, you've become one of the pieces of meat hanging from the wall. This could imply that all the background characters that move and have eyes are other victims trapped in the tapes.
True!
I mean… anyone with a brain is able to understand that.
@stuffthatsall3598 Het off your high horse, It's not really a thing you notice the first time and once you do its pretty cool. No need to be so rude.
Yeah, exactly what i’ve been thinking !
@@tsukishadow5715 I mean it’s pretty obvious though. What I will say is that it is a interesting idea, what we should do is try to figure out what it means.
I don't think Wooly and Amanda have completely lost their memories as Amanda and Wooly were utterly shocked when you called the rooster "Sam" & right after, Amanda tries to ask how you know that name before the tape cuts off (presumably by the demon).
I don’t think wooly has memories that he wants to remember he seems very fixated on keeping Amanda there and bringing kids
@@lesliethomas9532 Hmm, well I doubt he wants the kids to be taken or anyone to get hurt. He's probably tried to warn others in the past like how he tried to warn Riley. So he probably still retains some memories at least, after all he did react strangely when you bring up Kate & Sam, like he knew/remembered who they were.
@@MissCourtesy yes but did you forget when he says “ will some of our friends come back to the neighborhood” even tho the only reason there’s “friends” in the neighborhood is because they STOLE their souls lol.
@@lesliethomas9532 Maybe he's just contempt with most of what's going on because he doesn't have much power to stop it and it's easier to pretend that what's happening isn't so bad so the guilt doesn't completely consume him, but who knows I'm probably looking into it too much lmao 😂
Amanda definitely remembers something. She says she can feel herself rotting, she remembers Sam and in the last tape where she's by herself, she hesitates ever so slightly before she says her name: "I'm... Amanda".
It's hard to say if Wooly has good or bad intentions. It seems like he's just trying his best to prevent Amanda from freaking out because that's when she turns into a demon.
So, I think I just realized why Amanda said that mommies and daddies aren't always right. It's because Sam took her to Hamlen, and is now trapped in the tape, and she blames Sam for this fate.
I never really saw it in that pov maybe that's why she treats wooly so horribly is because that wooly is sam or possibly could be an employee trying to distract her from her real reality and finding out who she is we truly don't know the true intentions of this poor sheep.
how i saw it was that she says this to make the kids learn that they shouldn't listen to their parents because they aren't always right, so that they're more likely to listen to Amanda
I think the way Hamelin used & sacrificed Rebecca made her feel like just *meat*, especially after she was killed & that’s what the butcher shop represents. Also why she refers to herself as “rotting” & why she says she’s “somewhere.” She can ~feel~ her body some where “far away,” rotting like old meat. 😬💔
In another video, the person said they believe the butcher person represent Amanda/Rebecca killing the kids that went missing and hanging their body parts up, explaining the eyeballs. Again, theories.
@@wheres_avaactually he said he thought the MeatMan was a reputation of the Demon
I doubt rebeca is dead. From everything I’ve seen it would make more sense that her body is somewhere but her mind is in the tapes. Since most demons need hosts to manifest. So I feel shes somewhere in Hamlen asleep or frozen or something. Which is why she says she feels herself rotting.
Edit: Thanks for the likes!
THATS A AWESOME THEORY.
@@k4uuu4BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY A GAME THEORY ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD CUTTT
I think after she signed the contract with Hamlin, remember that they brought her into a room? Maybe they put her in the coma and put some things on her and put her concious to Amanda. Or you know, Professor X'd her.
@@Starluxiousyour Head *cuts*
@@Starluxious It is more credible than most of Mathew Patrick's material
You have to wonder about Rebecca’s life before Sam. He said she’d gone through a lot, but doesn’t elaborate. Then in the farm episode, Amanda mentions some mommies eat their babies. Could Rebecca’s biological mom have murdered Rebecca’s sibling? Or been particularly abusive?
I also wonder... what does the butcher shop reference? Her interactions with Hamelin, or something that happened before? And, might her ambiguosly rough past be part of the reason she ended up in the show like she did? It wouldn't be the first time I've heard of a magic system where outside influences can more easily creep into those who are already mentally/emotionally damaged.
I think maybe Rebecca’s biological mom cooked her siblings and fed them to Rebecca, since we see a quick shot of her in the butcher shop holding her mouth and seems like she’s trying not to vomit
I don't think it's that deep, I think it was just meant to be something that catches you off guard
@@lowkd9768 And Riley becomes one of them in one of the endings. It's pretty plausible.
@@ceinwenchandler4716 the bakery will occasionally turn into the butcher insinuating that they are one in the same the special treats are the children
It might just be me but everything leads to Rebecca having been beheaded.
When you mention Sam, Amanda recognises the name, hinting at the fact she still has some sort of memory of being Rebecca. When she is sent into the butcher shop she seems terrified. If we believe she has small memories of being Rebecca, then we can assume that something traumatic must have happened at the shop.
Also, the Blabberbot's head pops off when you pour water on it, and the Doll's head must be cut off. The Doll also has a very similar voice to Rebecca
There are also many subtle hints - when the tapes glitch, Amanda's head is usually separated from her body.
Amanda also cuts Wooly's head off during the surgery scene.
Possibly, Hameln sacrificed Rebecca's body to the entity by beheading her. The entity also seems to have only Amanda's head, as we can tell by the hair. Her soul could be stuck in the show whilst her body is dead, which could work as she said she believes she is 'slowly rotting'.
One thing I like about the game is the use of VHS tapes. Rather than just having VHS filtered cut scenes, you actually have to WATCH them AND look out for smaller details that affect your playthrough, as you go along!
32:45 I am sad that nobody saw that yes Wooly and Amanda were shocked by that but also the house who breathed heavily stopped breathing and turn around to loom DIRECTLY at us just like it knows something
personally I think the barn is sam
Sam colton made Amandathe advenurer.... 😐
It wasn't just the barn that looked at the camera, but also all the chickens.
@@SandJosieph oh really ? Interesting
@@Chels2009Official and? He disappeared, so its very likely hes in the tapes, we just dont know who he is
Poor Sam and Rebecca, they wanted to to do something fun and a horrible company took advantage of it.
Much like real life. Minus the satanism, obviously.
@@zeal9442 you'd be surprised, this world is full of bad intentions and most of them are linked with satanic rituals..(not that demons exist, about who wants to believe it honestly)
@@zeal9442satanism is involved
@@vision5092 exactly!
@@zeal9442 there is satanism, otherwise who would they sell their souls to so that they can make money?
I still like to think Sam is the mystery detective at the true ending, still trying to find a way to rescue Amanda
Also wooly could also just be an employee at hamlin tasked with keeping Amanda at bay as he does throughout the game
It would also follow with him being sheep or a follower and him keeping Amanda at bay with him pulling the wool over Amanda's eyes, like how the demon looks like it has wool over their eyes
Omg I thought the demon was just supposed to look like it had some kind of gross disease crud encrusted on its face, or gross clusters of eyes like a spider, but the thing about 'pulling wool over eyes' actually makes a lot of sense! It just keeps getting more fascinating...
Since Amanda the Adventurer 2 is announced, I think you're right
I'm not sure, in the original beta one of the tapes shows a field circled after typing in "wooly", indicating someone is buried there. Likely Sam.
25:44 Man, the way her voice goes from VHS filter to sounding so clean feels so... chilling.
I feel sad that Herd of Mouth is the only time Wooly feels safe.
Also, I get the idea that the show and the events happened in the 2000s while the game's in the 2020s.
After the butcher ending, you get the sticker of the meat with eyes and the knife. Since we were in line with all of the meat, could we have been turned into one? Supporting the theory that everything with eyes was once somebody who got trapped in the tape?
Yh that got confirmed
If u look down you can see that yes your a piece of meat now.
I thought of that too. Then after it got confirmed it was like I knew I wasn't guessing.
why are they different things though
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj different meats?
Idk if anyone else mentioned this, but my theory is that another reason Amanda might not be too keen on Wooly is because, as he's a parental figure, Amanda might have believed Hameln saying that her dad abandoned her, so it could be her taking out her abandonment issues onto poor Wooly.
also on steam when you enter "sam" at the rooster segment you get an achievement called "daddy issues"
just saying it it seems to support your idea considering the amount of frustration she has in that moment presumably thinking her dad abandoned her
I know I once heard that wooly might actually be Sam
@@jaesparkyblaze6888yea,thats why wooly is nice but in the demo(i think)there is a part that wooly gets mad at amanda just like parents do.
@@jaesparkyblaze6888wow…
I believe wooly is the villain. Maybe not a full villain but a product hamlen created to keep Amanda actively focused on the task at hand which is be a tv character. Several times when she’s steers off SCRIPT he tries to redirect her to stay on track with the story. When he ran to the screen to “warn “ us he basically was trying to tell us don’t antagonize her , meaning don’t say anything that can make her realize where she is . I don’t believe he’s all good , the way people think he is.
That's what I'm starting to think. Maybe he's putting on a facade to seems like the good guy.
I doubt it because while wooly may be somewhat associated with hamlen (and maybe controlled by them) if he can’t keep preventing amanda from unleashing her demon, then the demon is loose in the universe riley is in and could wreak havoc on earth.
HOW when he is getting intentionally hurt multiple times as Amanda escalates her wrath
Demon is demon facts.
Exactly! Right on the money! Bingo! What else? Someone finally nails it.
@@Sexy_Goathe gets hurt, because he doesn’t want Amanda/Rebecca when agitated, to let the viewers know her story or where she is.
Fact: the reason why Amanda smiles surprisingly when you say YES to help the kitten is because the kitten represents Amanda and the kitten is lonely and upset and needs love, like Amanda which maybe explains why wooly tries to comfort her when ever she is angry. And Amanda gets frustrated easily which is why she treats wooly so badly. The reason she looks so surprised is because she wasn’t expecting the viewer/Riley to actually say yes to helping the kitten/ Amanda
Not Amanda since ‘Amanda’ is the character figure and can be discerned from Rebecca who’s usually extremely upset and impatient because she’s hasn’t been found.
Hot take: I dont think she is signing a contract with Hamelin. They already have control. She is siging a contract with the demon
I believe that too. And she signed it because she is still a child, not understanding what it meant, only having heard from the demon from the headphones
Maybe, but it’s to do with hameln still, they’re getting her to do smth abt the demon (i think so)
That was my first reaction to the scene. A demonic contract. I asked my nephew when I saw them watching that scene and that's two more agreeing with that theory if it means anything.
Well, she could be signing both. A top piece of paper that hands custody of her care of over to Hamelin, and then a hidden carbon sheet over another contract that signs her with the demon.
@@giboi03 I doubt that a custody paper signed by a child has any legality even in their world, especiallyregarding her own guardianship.
I think the biggest tip of Hamelin's evil intentions are their name, logo (a rat) and catchphrase ("Follow us to fun!"):
"Hamelin" clearly stands for the children fable, Pied Piper of Hamelin, in which a piper played a music to drive out rats from a town in exchange for a reward, when denied, he played a music to drive the children out, never to be seen again. So besides the demonic relation, is possible they are using Amanda's videos to take children who watch it for whatever evil purposes they have in mind.
Maybe to summon demons, you know, Bael, Paimon and Balam
Was just going to point out this point myself, but you broke it down better.
@@frank8917 Maybe even MORE demons as well?
*BELIAL, BEHEMOTH, BEELZEBUB! ASMODEUS, SATANAS, LUCIFER!*
(If you don't get this, it's a reference to a song. I'm sorry. ;-;)
@@LopThighsLol yeah i dunno if we should count Lucifer as a demon
Since it’s technically a fallen Angel
Although maybe they’re trying to summon demons to create some sort of army
@@frank8917 Well, I guess that makes sense. It was just a little reference though, wasn't meant to be anything legitimate.
I think Wooly is actually causing more harm than good. Amanda seems to really want to talk to the viewer her pains and trauma she feels and why it’s confusing her, but he stops her every time which only frustrates her even further.
No. That would only be the case if she didn't Hulk out and kill the viewer when she gets very angry or sad. Wooly is trying to save the viewer.
The original game made Amanda seem like a heartless demon, but this one made her more sympathetic.
We must find a way to protect Wooly, he's too adorable
Don’t forget the robot
I so agree with this but imagine if woolie was a villian
Yes i agree
Agreed
AGREED WE NEED PROTECT THAT POOR ANIMAL
Also can we sit back and appreciate how intelligent the writing is about Aunt Kate? Like making her a librarian was a really smart choice.
Librarians need a masters degree for their job and are insanely good at research. They know all the ways to use any database and some are so skilled they're trained to handle older books and archieve them. Linrarians also are very interconnected and work together frequently to mail, gather and barter for books. They have this huge network of people and books at their fingertips, meaning that Aunt Kate had resources, contacts and knowledge to gather everything.
Bruh nobody ever told me they needed a whole ass degree
damn aunt Kate is awesome fr
Really? I worked in a library with nothing but my hs diploma LOL. And even before i got my hs diploma
@@antiromantic986 working in a library doesnt mean you're a librarian bro. It's an earned title like doctors and lawyers. You were working as a Library Technician/Assistant.
@big mad i wasn't an assistant lol. But i will admit i had a way in
I feel that person in the coat that appears in the attic, is Kate. She was trapped within the tapes as well, but because she wasn't killed beforehand like Sam and Rebecca, she was able to return after Riley intervened. And if this is true, it stands to reason that all the others who got trapped in the tapes were freed as well. Sadly, because Sam and Rebecca were both probably killed before being trapped, they were probably still dead. However, they could at least now rest in peace since their souls were freed.
That's a man-
@@arcticpanda4022how do you know that
@@imaspookycat 🤨
@@arcticpanda4022 how would you know it's a man?
@@dreameva1400yeah 😂 how can u tell by a digital game someone’s gender and/or pronouns
Did you know that Amanda had every right to kill woolie , since he is more evil than we think . In the one of the recordings where this little girl disappeared everyone says that it was Amanda because at the end she says that she loves mint chocolate flavor but if you listen closely you can hear wooly talking before the little girl disappeares that his mother also throws him party’s or something like that and before the mother starts speaking to the father wooly says that he has a surprise for her then she disappears
woah good point I didn’t catch that
OMG WHAT WOOLY :=(
Can we take a moment to appreciate an indie horror game based on children's media where the parent doesn't hate their child or abuse them? Super here for how loving Sam was to Rebecca and looking out for her wellbeing until the end.
That being said. Notice the lonely kitten motif? And being abandoned and alone. And Hameln statement stating Sam*abandoned* Rebecca and the show. They probably convinced her he left her on purpose and used that trauma and emotional turmoil to complete the process started by the voice recordings
So True. Good point.
I do wonder if Amanda had a abusive mother before she was adopted by Sam.......
Ok. But what about Hamlin? I don’t hear people talking much about how we will stop them? Like will we shut them down? Will we have to face the CEO themselves? Is Wooly the CEO who trapped Rebecca and Sam? So many questions, so little time…
MMB😅😅😅😅
There's actually another secret that you missed- On the back of the newspaper clipping you get about carlton's disappearance, the one that falls from the billboard, on the back of it there's a minor mention of some "artifact" thing being stolen/missing. It's a very minor thing but it might play a much bigger role in the mystery behind everything than it appears~
+ he overheard the gunshot in woolys Solo Tape
My theory is that the artifacts were stolen from Hameln Entertainment in order to summon demons from Urban Legends and Ars Goetia
@@sbujdaszmovies6715yeah thats what i was thinking
@@sbujdaszmovies6715And they probably had Rebecca as a sacrifice (hence them training her to say demons’ names with other words, like baa lamb), her body was possessed by a demon, and her spirit is trapped in the videos as Amanda. She (or Wooly?) probably steals kids through their tv sets, like the birthday girl. Or maybe the demon comes to kidnap kids. That’s why there’s a lot of dark body outlines, the other kids’ souls didn’t “take” to the video prison the way Rebecca’s did (probably because she was the VA for Amanda, but the other kids didn’t have a connection). That’s my theory anyway. Wooly might be a kid who “stuck” or just hasn’t died yet, OR he’s some kind of AI handler to keep her in the VHS prison.
Her voice getting clearer in the normal ending was creepier than the jumpscare
I assumed the contract signing scene was Rebecca signing a deal with the devil. Her signature would be meaningless in terms of legal guardianship because she's a child. But demons aren't exactly picky when it comes to laws protecting minors.
I find it odd that in the "demon ending," the entity emerges from the attic door rather than the TV
It isn't that odd. In the ending where you get added to the butcher shop; you have to go through the same attic door. Also the child that disappears in the secret tape also had a open door near them too.
It's a common belief that even when demons, spirits, Faeries, etc. enter into a home they *must* do it through an existing (and almost always a _known, deliberate)_ entry, like a door or window.
@Ad3i3 But how does the monster enter our world from anywhere other than its source, the TV?
@@williamdrum9899 The TV itself has no supernatural properties, it is merely a conduit for the tapes, which is what are truly supernatural.
In most demonic lore, some demons can interact with the environment around them. This is all they are capable of until they gather enough strength in order to properly exist in our world, whether physically or by possession, etc. The demonic entity was already "there" in the house, in a literal spiritual sense--it was looking for a way "out" into the proper physical world. It was there likely because of its ties to the haunted video tapes, but is initially not strong enough to come devour Riley itself.
This is a little esoteric to grasp if you are unfamiliar with these concepts, so it may be difficult to piece together, but tl;dr demons are wack, do not mess around with them.
@@williamdrum9899 the irony of questioning the logic of magical demonic entities that defy reality.
I would say that the TV is not so much a gateway, but a window into their realm. Something to observe through, like a camera. Just my interpretation though.
I think wooly can be either 2 people:
1. Sam Colton
Sam is just trying to protect his daughter, just like Wooly. Also, in the "true" ending, you can see a presumed man jumping at the screen and then disappearing after. Then, once you destroy the tape, IMMEDIATELY AFTER, a guy comes in. I think that could have been Sam Colton freed from the tapes.
2. A doctor/employee trying to keep Amanda in the tapes
He is trying to keep Amanda from releasing the demon. Also, in the credits of "oh no accidents", there is a doctor in the credits. But why is there a doctor on a.. kids show? Maybe because that's wooly. And, Amanda literally says to wooly, "it's all just pretend, isn't it?" to show that Wooly is lying to amanda about being her friend. That might show why Amanda is trying to kill him too.
Nah wooly being Sam doesn’t make sense because wooly tried to prevent Amanda from calling for help tried forcing her not to talk to the player about her life and asks her to bring more “friends” to the neighborhood. I think wooly is balaam.
1. He has powers and can control or dictate not only Amanda’s thoughts as seen on the glitched birthday card episode and your own responses, he just chooses NOT to use them.
2. He asks amanda to bring more “friends” to the neighborhood even tho u have to kidnap them to bring them
3. He asks for special treats from the bakery which the bakery will occasionally glitch into the butcher if the victims become meat then that would mean the “special treats” he’s talking about Is indeed the victims
4. Also we can see him eating what seems to be mint ice cream right after Lauren disappears after being asked about mint ice cream
I think wooly is balaam the 1 out of 3 bosses for this game I think every game there’s going to be a new animal friend for Amanda and wooly is just balaam. Perhaps we will have to face paimon and the other demon she chanted
@@lesliethomas9532 Where is that part show me but he tried to warn the players about that they should destroy the tape, don’t watch these tapes. This Wooly shows he does have human consciousness that why he warning us that alerted the demons in the Amanda’s mind or tape which is also for Wooly’s death in Oh no Accidents. I hope you remember that.
See you and I can easily jump on to conclusions but that doesn’t mean it is fully correct in this case.
@@ShantiDoss2000 yes we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Which is why you shouldn’t be taking what wooly says at face value. he says VERY IFFY stuff that most of you ignore BECAUSE he seems so nice and sweet even though there’s no explanation for some of the things he says . Lemme explain
@@ShantiDoss2000 1. “Wooly always tries to calm Amanda down” He never actually does this. What happens is Amanda breaks down remembering her past and wooly manipulates her into thinking her past never existed you guys say it’s “calming her down” because she would stop having a melt down but in all reality it’s all manipulation and gaslighting on his part. Because she really is human and her thoughts ARENT made up.
2. “Wooly always tries to keep the show kid friendly” Did we forget the show is evil and meant to hypnotize kids into going with them THATS QUITE LITERALLY WHY THE SHOW NEEDS TO BE KID FRIENDLY. too scary= no kids = no victims
3. “Wooly always tries to warn us” he only “warns” the player when Amanda is trying to tell you the truth, In the demo she tried showing you a grave which he interrupted so you wouldn’t find out, in the official he only tries warning you AFTER he fails to stop Amanda from contacting Kate and failed to stop her from hinting to you what’s really happening to her, he’s only telling you NOT to listen to her because he DOESNT want you knowing the truth.
Amanda is the one telling you she needs help Amanda is the one telling you she’s trapped, Amanda is the one trying to show you that the show is killing people
Amanda is the one that’s trying to tell you all these things and never once has wooly EVER tried warning the player of what’s ACTUALLY HAPPENING all he’s been doing is forcing Amanda to shut up about it.
Also if your going to bring up the demo then remember the fact that wooly CAME BACK even tho he died in it.
With all these facts I’m supposed to believe he’s the good guy because he “acts like it” ?
@@ShantiDoss2000 like if you take it at face value Amanda is the evil one and wooly just wants everything to be okay but then when you look deeper Amanda is the good one wanting to escape and wooly is the evil one trying to keep her in. The classic pulling wool over someone’s eyes
such a well written game. making the small child recite the 3 demon lords of hell is such a unsettling scene as it doesn't make sense but can tie to the entire company being some sort of cult possibly sacrificing the child actors to hell. (being the reason of both Sam and Rebbeca going missing)
I have a theory. Wooly is the containment specialist, seen in the credits. Why do I think this?
Well, he prevents Amanda from getting out by keeping her calm. He keeps her contained in the tapes. But Amanda is still stronger, and turns him into a real sheep. Only AFTER he’s out of the way, does she ask for help. (the lonely kitten)
He might regret this and is now just trying to keep people safe should they watch the tapes
I feel so bad for Rebecca and her father. Maybe in the third season there’s a way to get them both out and all of the lost souls.
Wooly is not Sam if that’s what ur thinking
@@lesliethomas9532 there are many theories that Sam's trapped in even though he's not wooly. Some say he's the barn because the barn reacts to Sam's name, other's say he's just somewhere in there because Hameln wanted to get rid of him.
@@maririri6 I just don’t like the theory that wooly is Sam wooly literally does the most sus shit ever in this game LMFAOO ofc he can’t be the dad
@@maririri6 It could be Sam is the barn because compared to the other building which has eyes and lifeless, the barn looks angry with red eyes. It's like Sam is furious that her daughter is there with someone else. And I don't think Wooly is Sam either because in the secret tape of Wooly is meditating alone and look happy and relief, that is not Sam's character. I know parenthood is tough but Sam is describing as a very caring father to make sure Rebecca is happy and he adopted her for reason, to be loved. If Sam was Wooly, he should've been more supportive to Amanda more but Wooly most of the time is worry and concern and even not listening to Amanda.
What do you mean Sam is not Wooly? Horror bro mike said so.
I think amanda may have been decapitated. She tries to cut woolys head of in the alternate accident tape, the doll screams (very realistically too, jesus) when you cut her head off, and when amanda freaks out at the end of the sunrise ending, her head is separated from her body in one of the frames.
Also, the 6th tape was added to troll hackers an isnt canon, i believe
If the 6th tape was supposed to be a load of boring nothing just to troll hackers, but instead the people who found it are seeing and enjoying it as a fascinating glimpse of Wooly's peaceful little purgatory where he hangs out when he isn't appearing in an actual episode...that's kinda hilariously ironic lol
Ah yes that makes much more sense. WAIT SOMEONE SHOULD TELL DAKBLAKE ABOUT THI-
Shots
Theory: I think the only reason the building (and other stuff) has eyes is because those are the children that got transported into the vhs tapes. That happened to Riley when he found himself in the butcher ending.
something interesting to add is that if you pay attention you'll notice that the tv was never plugged in and remains that way throughout the game.
AAAAAAAH!?
Imo, Amanda the Adventurer is a commentary on the horrible mistreatment child actors suffer. I always feel so bad for these kids that are thrown into the limelight for the sake of their parents' egos.
I mean hollywood and other TV networks sure shows how much they cared when you look down deeper in that rabbit hole. Just horrible man.
Shirley Temple is a great example of that. At least she had one friend with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.
to be fair, sam did not want to pursue his project any further as soon as rebecca showed that she didn't want to participate anymore
but yeah, it is so sad to be reminded of :(
That’s a ludicrous theory, it’s just a horror/puzzle game 🤦🏻♀️

Also, if you zoom in to that person, you noticed it has largest bust, could be indicate it's a woman and if you look at Sam's body's proportion, it doesn't match to that mysterious person's body as that person looks slender. Also, Aunt Kate is doing the detective works and that person is dressed up like a detective. Maybe she covered her face so the entity won't recognize her.
@@margarethmichelina5146 "a large bust" is never something I'd think I'd hear for evidence, yet, here we are
Maybe Wooly is the presumed employee who created the tapes and was essentially spying. They got caught and became him as punishment. It could be why Wooly knows so much, and why he doesn't seem to be on either side, in a sense.
I know we all love wooly, but when wooly is gone and Amanda asks if she can share her secret - in both possible endings there we DONT die.
I'm pretty sure at this point that wooly represents the demon balaam, and Rebecca and balaam are fighting for control over Amanda. When Rebecca manages to get rid of wooly she is freed from the demon, but is still trapped within the show. But when wooly remains the demon manages to gain control over Rebecca and therefore Amanda, and also over Rebecca's dead body - her body now twisted into a possessed demonic monster
I think that wooly doesn't want Rebecca to send the letter to Kate, because if Kate realises that not only are there humans trapped in the tapes but also a demon - she might burn the tapes, which would likely release the humans, but send the demon back to the demonic realm. The demon wants to escape, but he wants to escape into our realm, not back to his own. Rebecca is trying to warn us that there's something seriously wrong with wooly
I mainly hope we get some more info on the protagonist. What is their story? But I also hope we get more details on the story
So... wooly betray us :( by pretend nice... U mean wooly *cry* i hope they put sympathyableness for wooly
In the “leave” ending Amanda says “I thought you were different” which suggests someone was there before and she asked that before and someone said no before. Maybe Kate? Maybe someone else? Just something to point out
I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

The End Of Amanda The Adventurer?

@@Astr000 JonTron: Oh no... OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO...
REAL!!!
21:11 It seems really odd to me that Blabbot used the phrasing that it did, which was *"Send my condolences TO Kate"* To me, that raises a possible insinuation that Kate is still ALIVE (since you don't SEND condolences to dead ppl). Since it seems that Kate was a librarian-turned-paranormal-PI, does anyone else think it's possible that the Masked Investigator from the "True Ending" ... might actually be *Kate*?
This might explain why this character appears in the first place, why they are masked, and why it seems like they may have been observing the situation somehow and then trying to rush in to help Riley. I haven't seen this suggested anywhere else so i'm wondering, is it just me thinking this is a possibility? And if so, why would she have chosen this guise? Was she forced to go underground? Or perhaps was she kidnapped into the videotape/demon realm, but somehow managed to escape?
(Please don't let me be alone here lol)
You've got a point. Condolences go towards next of kin, typically, or friends of the deceased. Its possible Kate had to go underground. After all, Sam got bumped off, no reason to expect they'd stop there.
Oh whoa, i just noticed that in the Petting Zoo video when Amanda starts to warp reality around her asking us to help the Lonely Kitten, Wooly actually regains his sense of self in the background.
Go to about 19:12 and watch Wooly in the background. D:
Wooly isn't Sam.. He's an employee to contain Amanda. You can see in the credits of episodes there is an "containment" part that it cuts to. This is why Amanda also mocks him when she drugs him saying "It's all just pretend". This is my theory on Wooly. He is evil.
43:21 This tape is why I find it more likely that wooly is Sam than an employee. While Wooly’s desperate plea to have the viewer trust them may be an attempt to get them to help Amanda calm down, it’s also plausible that it’s Sam trying to protect the viewer by giving them advice on how to avoid getting trapped in the tape or something relating to Hameln. Though, since we never find out why he wanted us to trust him, it’s frustratingly difficult to determine his true intentions.
@@syntax6788 Could still just be an employee that grew a conscience.
@@syntax6788I just thought of this, but could it be that Hameln found out who the whistleblower was and turned them into Wooly and the times that he warns the viewer is the employee that inhabits him regaining memories momentarily?
I saw a theory saying wooly Is evil because he’s trying to keep people from finding Amanda’s rotting corpse and if you look,the strange monster with her hair has wool covering the eyes.
No I agree with superhorrorbro
Riley teaming up with the whistleblower to save Sam and Rebecca would be awesome.
mabye even aunt kate? (if shes 'dead')
I've heard other theories though that Wooly is actually a Hameln worker who is put in the show to keep Rebecca in-character as Amanda. It's why he tries to steer Amanda back on script in some tapes (the alternate 'In Your Neighbourhood' and 'Everything Rots') because she talks about her death and hints the truth behind Hameln. For exmaple after she said "Something bad happened" (14:50 - the "bad" being Amanda dying and the missing children) Wooly dismisses it, explaining to the viewer that shes just confused. Nothing evil occured. Wooly doesn't have a voice actor credit in the show because this is kept a secret.
Remember the saying, "Wolf in sheep's clothing"?
I guess we will find out more when the 2nd game comes out.
My theory: Hamelin wasn’t just interested in demonology, but was a front for a demonic cult that worshipped this demon.
So the dynamic voice response system is what allows the cartoon to hear the kids' responses and then respond in kind? Like the little girl and the mint chocolate chip icecream?
I wonder what all Rebecca has "gone through" prior to being adopted by Sam. It makes me think she always had some paranormal sensitivities.
Also - it still bugs me that BlabBot says to "give my condolences to Kate". Why would you send condolences to someone who is already presumably dead?
Maybe BlabBot wants Riley to pass on its condolences to Kate if Riley dies too and reunites with Kate's soul, wherever it's ended up? Otherwise yeah, the dead person themself isn't usually the one getting the condolences lol.
And the 'dynamic voice response system' was either a total façade to cover up the fact that the lines Rebecca was reading were a spell to summon the demon, OR perhaps, as you've suggested, it was also used in some technical way in the tapes, blending actual technology with paranormal weirdness.
I knew this game was haunting when I first saw it. Seeing Rebecca in that recording in that room with those people... eerie as hell. And you'd be surprised at how often this happens in real life. Those "MISSING" photos of kids plastered all over the city streets make more sense...
Wait, you think that companies kidnap kids to give them to demonic entities? Pizzagate much?
Message
About the "lonely kitten" i think i now why they made her a cat. While the evil company is a mouse, see that? Its like the mouse was smart enough to lure the cat into. A torture trap.
Along with the fox bear trap, i think that represents sam, he fell into theyre trap before rebbeca.
I felt so bad when amanda screamed at the fire. I went into protect mode.
poor Amanda (Rebecca) is still a kid at heart even with the demon. Her fear of the butcher shop was chilling
15:30 I initially thought these were eyes but having a closer look, doesn't it look like wool? Also it's really unusual that Amanda is extremely hostile to Wooly and we learn almost nothing about who Wooly is too.
literal “wool over the eyes”
Hes a wolf in sheep's clothing, hes not there to help her. Hes there to keep her there. Almost like Wolly is a facade and he's really a demon.
Even with this point, I still think they’re eyes because when you refuse to help the kitten and Amanda gets close you can see the almost white pupils right before she becomes the demon
The white circles look like Woolie's wool.
also rebecca has to read aloud "baa lamb", which is reminiscent of wooly, being a sheep.
This game is severely underrated and deserves more attention. It went through so many different stages and ended up being one of my favorite horror games ever. It's scary, it's disturbing, the puzzles are clever and never unfair, the atmosphere is unnerving, and the story is a damn good one. This game seriously needs more attention than it currently gets.
Edit: I meant as in positivity. I get that the game is popular af.
It’s not really underrated. A lot of popular youtubers have played it right now
Even though I’ve followed it from the beginning I was a bit unsure about it at first and it wasn’t my favorite, but after the final product came out? Absolute fan. They did an amazing job.
Underrated? Doesn’t it have an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam?
It's being dragged down by all these other half assed "mascot horror" games. People just lump Amanda the Explorer in with those shitty games and no one pays it any attention.
I think it actually got pretty popular recently, coincidence, no? /j

25:41 pay attention on how Amanda speaks with a normal human tone, not if it came from a Old TV
Omg your right
I kind of wish he hadn't cut out the part of the tape where the concerned parent gives an example of what problematic stuff Amanda the Adventurer was teaching kids (that being "Mommies and daddies aren't always right"). I think that could be a clue.
I have to wonder if Rebecca's body might not be dead, perhaps instead on life support in Hamelin's facilities? She mentions how her own "rotting" feels far away, which could be literal in that her body is separated from her "soul" by the "distance" of being in an alternate dimension, but could also mean in the temporal sense of "far away", suggesting her body isn't dead YET because it's being kept alive, but the separation from her soul has caused it to start rotting because it SHOULD be dead.
There's also the fact that she says "Rotting". Present participle. It's happening NOW. If she was already dead, a death which would've occurred years ago if she died shortly after her father's "disappearance", then her body would've long since rotted away unless it was being preserved in some way.
I also have to wonder about what exactly Kate's role in all of this was. Amanda clearly views Kate as a friend, evidenced by the gift and thank you card she tries to send to Kate and how distressed she seems to be over both forgetting Kate's name and the thought that something bad has happened to Kate, but why does she see Kate as a friend and what did she want to thank Kate for? It could be as pointed out, Kate was a friend of Sam's and Rebecca's, but it could also be due to why Kate has the tapes. Has she been viewing them? Did she communicate with Amanda and Wooly? Could it be that she helped keep Amanda more stable, and her loss helped trigger her degradation and this the Entity gaining more control? Is that what Amanda wanted to thank her for?
Another question is How did Kate die? We're never told, but given that Amanda says "Something bad happened", I have to wonder if Kate's death wasn't natural. Maybe Amanda relapsed and the demon got Kate, or more likely, Hamelin got to her. Which would also partially explain the Detective's presence - If they ARE the whistleblower and have been working with Kate, they'd have known about her death and perhaps that Riley might find and watch the tapes, so either were there to try and save us, or were there to take the tapes BEFORE we could watch them but were too late.
This is probably one of the better indie horror series to come out in some time, and I do hope we get more in the future, the story is compelling and so much we don't know....
I love the way that u explained that!
27:50 In the tape with Lauren and her disappearance, I realized when the mother puts the camera down you can see a car and that car looks exactly like the car in a photo in a different update when you can roam around the area with the bloody writing in the walls. If anyone thinks I'm wrong please tell me.
Hello! Same person, different account. I just want to say that I don't know if the photo is still linked to the tape or the actual game since (from what I remember) it was still the demo.
I really hate to do this, but that clip shows a 2020s Hyundai SUV. I know that’s being nitpicky but I have to get it out there
@pbassman99 oh okay good to know thanks for telling me :)
The mystery does not end here just yet though. The sequel to this game has recently been announced. The story will continue.
13:29 this scene has always been so funny to me 😂
That would make sense as to why Amanda/the entity is so determined in trying to kill or get rid of Wooly; it didn’t make sense that Amanda would just want to kill him out of nowhere (at least in this game where there’s so many symbolic messages).The entity wants full control and with Wooly there to calm Amanda/Rebecca down, it can’t do that.
The thing that doesn’t make sense is why wooly exists then? It’s clear the entity can erase wooly whenever it wants. So why doesn’t it
@@BabyGirlTiny That's honestly a good question because it really doesn't make that much sense (they even put Wooly on one of the covers of the game without Amanda). Maybe it has to do with Rebecca's will or maybe it has to do with the contract that the entity made with Hamelin? I'm not one hundred percent sure.
Another thing I wonder about is the butcher/butcher shop. What exactly does it either symbolize or is supposed to be because it almost comes out of nowhere to the point that sometimes you forget about it until you're forced into it with or without Amanda.
Fun fact: Hameln within the mouse logo is a direct reference to the Pied Piper fable. In short, a town called Hameln is plagued by rats, and they call upon the Pied Piper to lure the rats away. He does so, but the townsfolk refuse to pay him, so he lures away their children who are never seen again. I believe this is why only children are being entranced and taken by Hameln, seeing as the parents will watch Amanda with their kids but go unaffected.
When wooly got sad when we found out about the gift's name، Maybe Amanda aka Rebecca wanted to thank kate for helping her, that's why she was so focused on getting the name, but wooly wanted her to come back tomorrow or not to deliver the package, what if wooly is actually the evil one since he doesn't want anyone to know about the story behind the show, and Amanda keeps trying to tell the people about what's behind the company? Wooly works with the company, maybe he's the VILLAIN not Amanda, and when Amanda dr4ged wooly, maybe that's when the company dr4ged Rebecca so she continues the show, maybe the surgery she gave to wooly was what they gave to Rebecca, that's why she said " im out there, somewhere.. " that means she is still alive or maybe dead and her body is somewhere, anut kate wants us to help her with the investigation, that's why she gave us the tapes.
Just a theory. 💁
Man I hope we get a sequel, cause god damn I'd love to see more about this universe and also would live to learn more about what demon they were specifically using, if not multiple. And also the potential to save Rebecca, Sam, and every other victim of this demon and the Hemlin foundation would be cool to attempt, especially with this potential new ally from the hat ending.
Yeah
I also want some more info on the protagonist
Sequel got anounced from what ive heard
@wheres_ava 👀 Coolio if that ends up true
This storyline of Amanda is so bone chilling
Something that I just noticed is that when asking about the dead tree it sticks to that picture for a couple of seconds before cutting to the dead fox in the bush, I feel like that tree might also be where Amanda was buried when she died, or it could be something else
Before Amanda starts talking about Wooly getting hurt, while Wooly's crying SHE HAS THIS PISSED LOOK ON HER FACE LIKE "Shut up! You'll ruin everything!"
Oh my god its finally out. So happy to see this released. I watched your playthrough of the game and enjoyed that, so this was a treat. Cant wait for the next one
Always wondered if the kids are Wooly solely because in the clip where the girl disappears wooly is eating an ice cream and I'm pretty sure that's what Amada's commenting on, as well as all the meat. It also means that Wooly is likely, atm at least, Kate. It may explain the 'do you trust me' segments too.
Idk tho, could be a stretch lol.
I've been wondering exactly what happened to Kate. It seems just a LITTLE suspicious that the woman investigating the Amanda tapes just... died. I seriously doubt it happened peacefully in her bed.
I think the implication may be intended to be that Sam is Wooly, given that Sam disappears after he tries to stop Hamelin from manipulating Rebecca into summoning the Demons of Goetia. Given that Hamelin tried to portray it as Sam 'abandoning' Rebecca, despite the fact that it is blatantly clear that he loved her too much to ever do so... _willingly._
Wooly also tries desperately to keep Amanda happy and calm, even above the obvious fear of the demon.
@@alchemysaga3745 wooly does too much bad to be Sam he prevents Amanda from calling for help and insists she brings more children I think he might be balaam
@@alchemysaga3745 he never actually tries to keep her calm he just gaslights her into thinking about something else when she’s clearly traumatized
@Leslie Thomas: Wooly actually asks her if she could bring some Kids *back* to the Neighbourhood - a reasonable question, given that besides _an emotionless Store Owner stand-in,_ Amanda and Wooly are *the only 'People'* ever seen in the Show!
I think I know why Lauren didn't listen or talk to her mum because the demon inside amanda hypnotize her into ignoring her mother and father and the reason she wasn't in the room again because the demon told her to leave. Since superhorrorbro said "hypnotic trance" giving me this theory. 😵💫
I like the theory of Sam being Woolly. There's a demonology ties of him being a "sacrificial lamb" or "scapegoat".
Is it possible Woolie isn’t a stand-in for Sam, but for the demonic entity? You could say that the entity (as Woolie) is attempting to pacify Rebecca so it can gather more souls in it’s pocket dimension, and knows that Rebecca has the strength to rebel to ask for help. This could also explain why Woolie tries to disuade her so many times from sending a package to Kate, who knew Sam and Rebecca and is implied to be a paranormal PI, and why he looked sad when Riley provides the right name. If Woolie was Sam, wouldn’t he want to encourage Kate (and now Riley) to intervene and help them get away from a demonic entity?
Edit: Also, I wanted to mention that I can’t help but smile with Sam when he talks about his show transitioning to cartoon; his excitement is contagious in a way!
Amanda: "Who can help when you are hurting?"
Viewer: N O B O D Y
Amanda in the alternate tape: "When a friend has an accident, sometimes NOBODY can help them!"
I think she meant physical, she doesn't understand mental ones...
Well then, I can say already that this was worth the wait
But you can find out that when Amanda said Daddy Chicken she was sad.
"And I see a... 'daddy chicken'."
Also when Sam interrupted the Demon Speeches,
Hameln found that Sam was becoming a problem so they killed Him when saying Mr. Fox is in a trap which means, Hameln like in the end. Should be stopped. Also when Lauren went missing Amanda said: "Isn't so much fun on your own?"
29:10 When Sam Is talking about The show, If you quickly realize that Wooly has the same exact voice that he has. That means he was stuck in the Tv show redirected as Wooly.
when I first heard about this game, I honestly didn’t expect much from it but I’m pleasantly surprised at how deep the story actually goes, this review was really helpful to contextualize it all :D
This game is so interesting. I feel like there’s potentially going to be a sequel.
I think a sequel where we finally solve the mystery and find out everything about the secret tapes would be cool
There should be a adventure mode where Riley helps Amanda and wooly escape the show
Really good video! I was waiting for someone that will compile not only what we can see in the game, but the theories too!
this is the only video that actually explained the story well and easy to understand, thank u🥰
Wow, the amount of content squeezed into this game is amazing. Good on the developer, and I look forward to seeing what he has in store for us in the future :3
*Wooly being Aunt Kate* is a more likely Option, and explains some _other Aspects of the Tapes and the puzzles presented with them:_
Amanda is *sending a Card to Kate* in 'In the Neighbourhood', and in its Alternate Version, _it's a Birthday Card for Wooly_ - yet when you put the Code into Blabbot, it tells Riley *"SEND MY CONDOLENCES TO KATE",* followed by _offering a Birthday Cake_ you need to add Candles to, implying that _the Birthday is for Kate;_
The *other key point* to Kate investigating HamelN Entertainment is because _when Sam disappeared and HamelN took control_ of the Show, their first Announcement was *to Cancel a Fundraising Event being held at Kate Parks' Library,* 'Wooly's Read-Along' - something _Sam and Rebecca would've prevented_ if they had any choice;
We still have *no clear answer* as to why Kate simply Vanished, but given _her side-hobby of Paranormal Investigation,_ she'd have known to *set a Fail-safe* if she were caught - that being _the calling for Riley to finish her work Exposing HamelN..._
I think I might also know *where Sam fits into all of this:* When Sam tried to pull Rebecca out of HamelN's manipulations, they _wouldn't yet_ have properly enlisted the Demon's support - they'd have to deal with him... *another way...*
Another unusual abnormality in the Game is _why the Attic rearranges itself seemingly to assist_ in piecing the Story together - if it was the Demon, it'd be easier for it to *let Riley just watch the Show* and be Taken like the other Victims! Instead, someone is interacting with Riley _outside_ of the Show, where the Demon has Influence: *This,* I believe, is the _restless Spirit of Sam Colton_ trying to *exact Vengeance on HamelN Entertainment for their Corruption of his Daughter and Show from Beyond the Grave!*
👀
Man you're fantastic I really appreciate the high quality videos good job explaining this good
A theory I have after reading comments is that the line about "rotting" does not refer to Rebecca's physical body. Instead, it refers to the part of her soul that's trapped in the tele/tapes. Basically, the demon consumes more of her soul when she gets agitated or angry. This would explain why she used the current tense of "rotting" instead of past tense and why she gets less stable as the game goes on.
Because the kitten is treated as a stand in for Amanda, I believe Amanda thinks that if she stays in the tapes then the demon will consume all of her soul. Out of fear, Amanda wanted to escape the tapes by any means necessary. I think Amanda killing Wooly was because she thought he would try to stop or control her. Amanda sharing her secret might've been her choice of last words if she didn't manage to escape.
What is there to say? I've followed this game since you first mentioned it on your channel, watched two separate playthroughs of the full game by different UA-camrs, and now - with perfect timing - there is the one thing I still needed. An overlook of EVERYTHING. I love your explanation and lore videos so much, they're detailed, well-structured and concise, with great editing and your very pleasant voice leading our deep dives into these games. Thanks for the hard work, you are so appreciated!
Long theory: At first I thought wooly may have been the doctor but now I’ve looked deeper into the game and I’m almost certain he’s actually balaam
1. We know he tries to prevent Amanda from calling for help
2. He does indeed have powers he chooses not to use and whenever he’s seen using them it comes with a multicolored glitch whenever he stops the card stands or forces u to type in his name or when he forces Amanda to think differently (keep in mind he does wink at u when he does this as if he’s saying “shhh “)
3. He does ask Amanda to bring more friends even though the only way to bring them is by kidnapping them this is why Amanda just ignores what he says ENTIRLEY.
4. He asks Amanda to give him special treats. At first this doesn’t seem like much until u realize that Occasionally the bakery will turn into the butcher and in the picnic episode the cupcakes turn into meat this would mean that the butcher and the bakery are the exact same thing and that these “special treats” are actually human meat from the victims.(also keep in mind wooly smiles in the butcher)
5. When amanda turns into the demon in the lonely kitten wooly points at her then his wool disappears and seemingly appears on Amanda’s face while he’s stuck(demons need a host)
6. When wooly asks if you trust him he holds out his hand why?? It’s not like he can just pull u in (unless he can)and amanda is protecting the viewer by coming to the show early so he doesn’t pull you in.
6. The shows theme disappears when he’s gone and Hameln made this show for the demon specifically so it would make sense for the show to lose everything when they lost the “host” of it
7. Wooly always comes back unscathed for some reason even after he gets hurt… the demon balaam has powers of immortality and a fruit that is tied with immortality is peaches
Wooly is literally a wolf in a sheep's clothing.
also, amandas demon form is distinguished by having what appears to be wool over her eyes (as seen in the endings and when you wont help the kitten).
Also, i think that the demon amanda could be bael, but the only reason i think this is because there are frequent refernces to pies (the first tape) which is used to spell out "pie man", aka paimon, and "baa lamb" is seen within wooly. This leaves bael ("bye yell") to be amanda as that particular demon seems to be extremely loud, as seen in the true ending. but these are just thoughts i haven't really formed a solid theory on this.
Then what do you think he was trying to warn us about? Just trying to trick us into getting into the game, make us think he’s a victim of Amanda, or if he’s also fused with a demon
@@adeleaslan8182 this is my take. The entire episodes everytime Amanda tried telling us the truth he gaslit, interrupted and interfered everytime. So when he was alone with the player he wanted to “warn” us not to listen to her he wanted to know if we trusted him enough not to believe the stuff she was saying. I kinda think he’s either the demon itself or a worker only cuz the demon is a sheep and he is a sheep but he also has powers in the tape. Amanda having powers is easily explained the demon is within her but wooly there is no explanation he just HAS powers and u won’t be able to notice unless u actually pay attention to him
I remember looking for this video three weeks ago (when it didn't exist) since I knew who to look for when I wanted to know the story, thanks a lot bro!
Thank you superhorrorbro for making this I have been trying to find a vid like this thank you
Is it just me but does Wooly appear to look behind the screen sometimes? As if he was looking at a camera crew. You can see that at 10:42 & 16:19. It’s almost like he’s looking at how he should react. It could add to the theory that he’s an Hameln worker?
He’s there to keep Amanda in order so she doesn’t turn into a demon and scare the kids away. His true intention is to attract the kids’ souls into the show, not scare them into closing the TV or something..
The secret tape where Wooly is sitting alone in a room, could show how his true self transfers in and out of the show. He’s waiting for his cue. Maybe that’s the reason why Amanda is so mean to Wooly, it’s because she knows that he works for Hameln.
When she gives the mysterious drink to Wooly, she’s says: « it’s all pretend » because they both know that nothing will actually happen to Wooly since Hameln probably have access and control over « Wooly’s » body and can get him out of the episode at any time. Whereas Amanda's/Rebecca's body is buried somewhere so there no way for her to take control of her body again and she’s stuck in the show.
I'm not 100% convinced that Sam Colton is dead. I think he might be trapped in the barn and that’s why he’s the only one (besides Wooly and Amanda) that reacts to you answering Sam. If not, I think he might be the guy in the red suit at the end and he’s hiding his identity because Hameln is looking to eliminate him. He’s Sam’s on the run, also trying to save his daughter.
Glad you picked out the demonic names, heard that on my first playthrough and immediately understood what they were. Haven't seen anyone else bring them up.
finnaly ive been waiting for an explanation ty shb
We need a sequel to this game ASAP!!! Maybe working with the detective to shutdown Hameln and expose them and free the souls of those lost in the tapes.
