Transcript[]
The title card for Amanda the Adventurer is shown, with Wooly blacked out. It fades away, before "Created by Sam Colton" briefly appears. The video cuts to a surgical light turning on with a beeping noise in the background. It then cuts to Amanda on a sofa.
- Amanda: "Hi, friends! I'm Amanda! [gets off the sofa] Have you ever wanted to go far, far away? [pause] Well, we can! [looks around the room] At least in our imaginations we can... with my magic train!"
The camera pans out to reveal a miniature train in the room.
- Amanda: "If you can visit anyone in the world, who would you go see?"
A nine-letter prompt appears.
If the player types "Kate", or "Aunt Kate":
- Amanda: "I wish I could still visit her..."
If the player types "Sam", "Father", or "Dad":
- Amanda: "Wait, that's..."
If the player types "Butcher", "Meatman", or "Meat man", the video glitches, and Amanda recoils.
- Amanda: "No! Why are you being so mean to me?"
If the player types "Amanda", "Rebecca", or "You":
- Amanda: [eye twitches] "Do you really think you could do that?"
If the player types "Wooly" or "Woolie":
- Amanda: "[giggles] Yeah, if you can find him...!"
If the player types any other word:
- Amanda: "That sounds like fun!"
- Amanda: "I love to daydream about all the places I could have g—"
The video glitches.
- Amanda: "-think about all the places we can go! [stands on the sofa] Let's plan a trip!"
The camera pans upward to reveal five drawings of places of interest, including the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben.
- Amanda: "I've made pictures of all the places I want to go."
Brief close-up of the drawings.
- Amanda: "But wow, it's so dark in here. Should I open the curtain or turn on the lamp?"
If the player makes the same choice from their first run, the room darkens.
- Amanda: "Hmm, I think that would still be too dark. Why don't we try something else?"
After the second time:
- Amanda: "Are you sure? We've done that before!"
After the third time:
- Amanda: "Okay, if you want to make the same boring choices, I guess we can do that."
After clicking the curtain or lamp, Amanda goes over to open it/turn it on. An opossum peeks from under the sofa before quickly retreating. The room brightens from the sunlight/lamp.
- Amanda: "That's much better! Now let's plan that trip! There are three places I want to go on my magic train today! First, I want to see the Eiffel Tower! Where can I do that?"
Close-up of the drawings.
If the player chooses incorrectly:
- Amanda: "That would be a fun place to see, but the Eiffel Tower isn't there, silly!"
After the second time:
- Amanda: "Geez, can't you figure this out?"
After the third time, the other drawings fade away.
- Amanda: "The Eiffel Tower is in Paris. Geez..."
After clicking the Eiffel Tower drawing:
- Amanda: "We'll go to Paris first on the magic train!"
Cut back to the view of the room.
- Amanda: "Hmmm, it looks like a ticket to Paris cost two coins. Let's see what I have in my piggy bank."
Amanda gets off the sofa and grabs her piggy bank next to it.
- Amanda: "What's the best way to open this piggy bank? I can pull up the plug, or I can smash it!"
If the player chooses the pull the plug:
- Amanda: "Aww, you're no fun."
If the player chooses to smash it:
- Amanda: "[giggles] This is gonna be fun! Goodnight, Mr. Piggy!"
Cut to a close-up of Amanda holding the coins.
- Amanda: "Let's count them together. One... two... three... four... five! I have five coins; that's more than enough for our first stop! We just need to take away two coins, can you count them?"
Amanda removes two coins. Cut to the view of the room.
- Amanda: "The next place I want to go is very special because it makes me think of our friend Gret-chan over there!"
Gret-chan is shown at a cardboard train station. Close-up of the drawings.
- Amanda: "Let's go to the Isle of Dead Dolls! Where can I find that?"
If the player chooses incorrectly:
- Amanda: "Wow, planning this trip with you is going to take forever, isn't it?"
After the second time:
- Amanda: "Looks like someone needs to brush up on their cultural knowledge."
After the third time:
- Amanda: "The owner of the Isle of Dead Dolls hangs dolls to keep demons away. Do you think that really works?"
The other drawings fade away.
- Amanda: "It's near Mexico City, okay?"
After clicking the drawing of the pyramids:
- Amanda: "Our next stop is Mexico City!"
Cut to the view of the room. The opossum peeks from under the sofa again.
- Amanda: "A ticket to Mexico City on my magic train cost three coins!"
The opossum retreats. Amanda takes notice.
- Amanda: "Uhhh... anyway, that ticket costs three coins! So let's take those away from what we have."
Cut to the close-up of Amanda holding three remaining coins.
- Amanda: [removing the coins] "One... two... three! Oh no, that's all our coins! And I still have one more place I want to visit! We need some more money. What are we going to do?"
Cut to the view of the room. Three toys: a teddy bear, jester, and rooster appear on the sofa.
- Amanda: "I can sell one of these for some coins!"
Close-up of the toys.
- Amanda: "Which one do you think will get us the most coins?"
If the player clicks the teddy bear or jester:
- Amanda: "You really think I can get coins for that old thing?"
After the second time:
- Amanda: "You have really weird taste in toys."
After the third time, the teddy bear and jester are replaced with wool.
- Amanda: "Okay, so which one can I sell?"
After clicking the rooster:
- Amanda: "Let's sell funny Mr. Rooster! [grabs it] Someone gave this to me when I was feeling really bad and scared, and it made me laugh. I hope he can go make someone else laugh."
She hugs Mr. Rooster before throwing him up. Distorted rooster sounds play as coins fall into Amanda's hands.
Close-up of Amanda holding the coins.
- Amanda: "Wow, I got three coins for Mr. Rooster! Okay, let's see how much our next destination costs."
Close-up of the drawings.
- Amanda: "I love learning about history on my trips. Where can I take a tour and learn about... Jack the Ripper?"
If the player chooses incorrectly:
- Amanda: "Come on, you know this."
After the second time:
- Amanda: "Wow, you really don't know anything, do you?"
After the third time, the other drawings fade away.
- Amanda: "Jack the Ripper killed at least five people in London in 1888. Busy guy. [giggles]"
After clicking the Big Ben drawing:
- Amanda: "We're going to London!"
Cut back to the view of the room.
- Amanda: "A ticket to London is four coins. And I only have three! I don't know where I'm going to get more coins for my trip. I might as well not even go anywhere... Wait a minute! I have a coin in my pocket! Now I have four! That's enough for our last stop!"
The opossum emerges from under the sofa and crawls toward Amanda.
- Amanda: "No, no, no! Go away! Get this weirdo out of here!"
After the player clicks the opossum, Amanda shakes it off her leg and it unhappily runs away. Close-up of Amanda holding the coins.
- Amanda: "Whoa, who the heck was that guy? He was going to take my coins! [adds the coin from her pocket] Good, all four are still there! Let's count how many we need to pay for the ticket to London! [removing the coins] One... two... three... four!"
If the player does nothing, the opossum eventually overpowers Amanda and eats one of the coins. It lands on the floor and crawls back under the sofa.
- Amanda: "No, no, no! He ate one of my coins!"
Brief close-up of Amanda's hand with only three coins. She then throws a temper tantrum by wailing face-down on the sofa for a moment.
- Amanda: "I want to go on my trip! Where can I find more coins now...?"
After clicking the sofa:
- Amanda: "Wow, you're smart! There's always all kinds of stuff in the sofa cushions!"
Cut back to the view of the room.
- Amanda: "Oh, hey, it's time to catch my train!"
She gets off the sofa and drops off her coins at the train station with Gret-chan. She then gets in the back of the train, which starts moving in a circle.
- Amanda: "This is fun, I guess, but I wish I really could go see the world..."
She gets off the sofa. As she goes to drop off her coins at the train station, Wooly walks into frame.
- Wooly: "Hi, Amanda! Whatcha doing?"
- Amanda: "I... [sighs] I was going to go on a trip."
- Wooly: "Ooooh, it's fun to pretend you can go places, isn't it?"
Amanda gestures at the train.
- Wooly: "Ah..."
Distracted, Wooly is pushed into the middle of the train, landing upside down. The train starts traveling off-screen.
- Wooly: "Oof! Hey! Amanda! This isn't funny! Amanda!"
Amanda mischievously laughs and waves.
- Wooly: "Amanda! Hey-Hey! Amanda! Hey, wait a minute! Hey! Amanda!"
After some static, the tape ends.

Trivia[]
- In the demo, if the player helped Amanda from the Opossum, when she says, "but I wish I really could go see the world..." the subtitles say "V_e1_s9c_8".
- There are video files that have similar names, such as V_e1_s9d. However, V_e1_s9c_8 doesn't exist, but the subtitle that should be displayed at that time does not. It is most likely the ID for the subtitle that should display but is missing.[1]
- There are unused clips for when Amanda gains coins from her piggy bank. During the close-up, she says, "You know, counting can be hard, but it's easy when you do it with a friend. If you have your own piggy bank, you can go get it and use it to help me count! Okay, let's count the coins!"
- Jack the Ripper, mentioned by Amanda, was a real person. He was an unidentified serial killer living in London, England.
- The Isle of Dead Dolls is a reference to the real Island of the Dolls, located in the canals in the southern part of Mexico City. Legend has it that the dolls were used as a way to ward off a girl's spirit who drowned in the canals. It is a chinampa, or artificial island.
