Each tape lets you choose an answer to one of Amanda’s questions. Get it wrong, and you’ll upset the adventurer. If you get it right, you’ll progress to the next episode. Most of the answers are easy, prompting you to answer incorrectly just to see what happens.
Something is wrong with Amanda
As you progress through the episodes, her sidekick the sheep will warn you that something’s wrong. Despite the warnings, you proceed to the next tape, whether you want to or not. There’s a horrific moment where Amanda the Adventurer appears to lose her mind or be possessed by a demon.
The final video
When you reach the final episode of Amanda the Adventurer, she’ll ask if you want to enter via the window or door. While you may want to select the window, the only answer available to you is the door. When you choose it, the character goes psychotic and you can see her real form. The game ends here for the mobile version, while the original for Windows has more detail.
