Here's the lore from the first game is anyone needs a refresher. Our name is Riley. Our aunt Kate sends us a letter, saying that she has passed away and that she left her house to us. She tells us about tapes in her attic but warns us that if we watch them, we can't stop. The tapes are of a kid's cartoon, named Amanda the Adventurer, about a girl named Amanda and a sheep named Wooly. We learn from some papers in the attic that Kate worked at the local library but she had also been working on something behind the scenes. Amanda the Adventurer used to be a live action, ran by Amanda's real dad, Sam. He was friends with Kate and would read stories out to the children at the library. He was well known from the cartoon since it got so popular. His daughter was the main focus of the show and her real name is Rebecca. Sam had adopted Rebecca. Sam was approached by a large producing company named Hamelin. They offered to make his show even bigger and he agreed. However, when it came time to sign paperwork and stuff, he started feeling uncomfortable. There was something weird going on. They were making Amanda repeat weird words and phrases. Hamelin knew he was getting cold feet so they removed him from the picture. We don't know if he's alive or not. They made Rebecca sign the contract instead. Through an old demonic ritual, they were able to put Rebecca's mind into Amanda. Since the cartoon aired, children have gone missing after watching the show, like they just vanished. This was what Kate was looking into but she was killed before she had a chance to finish her work. During one of the endings of the first game, a masked figure shows up in the attic and slams their hands down on the table, then the game ends. That's where this game is starting off.
@@mehward7196 1:06:03 he says "where am I?" and he also says a bunch of other weird stuff around this time, just listen closely to him in the bg when Jack's busy doing other stuff
Older piggy banks usually don't have a plug and do indeed need to be smashed. The idea being that you won't touch that money until you actually need it, cuz you don't WANT to break it and have to buy a new one.
@tristanchamblin492 I believe that started as a gambling phrase for winning more money than the house could afford to pay you, and it's just a happy coincidence that it works so well with the imagery of smashing a piggy bank 🐷
40:33 that transition from "maybe YOU can find my a nightlight! :D" to all the lights going out and amanda begging you to "hurry back soon" gave me CHILLS. THAT WAS SO GOOD
I enjoy the respect Sean shows where he isn't saying it's a bad game, just that it's not for him. Some people can't always see the difference. Loved watching!
the amount of frustration that flowed through my body when he said “i’ve never been more confident that can’t be wrong” and he had the flowers backwards was mind boggling
Clocked that immediately as well! Did you know the guy in the original video is actor Michael Rapaport? He’s got other videos interacting with the cat as well.
literally checked his channel thirty minutes ago for this exact reason. couldnt be more relieved to see this notification. probably going to be rewatching a lot of comfort series like the undertale one in the coming weeks. wishing you the best.
this is the devastated american safety zone, but yeah i'm seething - and also completely apathetic? i thought those weren't possible to feel at the same time but here we are.
1:08:05 notice how Amanda said earlier “Now my teeth will rot out and i’ll starve to death” and the monkey has no teeth, and its super skinny and it’s ribs are showing indicating that it’s starving to death 👀 that’s an interesting detail to me
Oh i didn't piece it together with what she had said. I thought it was because of the "speak no evil" it was holding it's mouth shut and didn't eat. I saw that it had no teeth but somehow that flew over me xD
Two thoughts about the Patience video: 1) Man, Wooly is awfully snarky and mouthy with Amanda considering she gave him a saw to the face in the first game. 2) The cat that shows up to eat the birds looks like the cat from that one video... "Hey, Ma! There's a weird fuckin' lookin' cat out here! The thing looks like Grandma!"
Jack must feel so conflicted on this game cause he seems to like it and want to see what happens but he also gets sooooo frustrated at the puzzles sometimes.
@@jacksepticeyeI gotcha. You're a lore guy. You're more interested in the lore than the complexities to get to the lore. That's why I watched your Bloodborne playthroughs instead of playing the game myself: I just needed the lore, man.
The puzzles were definitely a lot more confusing and tedious in this one, some of the clues just did not land on my playthrough when the first I got through relatively fine on my own, definitely didn’t help that my game bugged out at the Do You Feel Safe tape and I had to restart THE ENTIRE GAME to get through
@jacksepticeye if there's ever another one you and Gab should play it together!! (Or you and gab can work together to find the secret tapes in this game)
Been a while since watching your most current videos OG fan from the cabin days, I was in 6th grade, now I’m 23 & married. Haven’t watched your videos talking about your health. But dude as an OG fan I do care. Even after all these years & developmental milestones. I still to this day watch your content, your content was a sense of escapism from the trauma of my upbringing. Thank you for being the safe space I needed growing up. Now on to watching you play a horror game from my favorite type of genre @ 4 am. Your content is the type I will always find comfort in. Been dealing with major health conditions sending me into the hospital. Still recovering but your videos are helpful.
the story that Riley tells instead of Wooly's story also gives us the extra context that Rebecca signed Hamelin's contract because they promised her they could bring her dad back which makes the whole thing even more heartbreaking.
Its almost like when the writers know what's happening from the start of a mystery, it can be solved by the audience. (That's what makes mysteries good, btw)
@@reidking-c9o The Island of Dead Dolls is a real place here in Mexico City, in Xochimilco. There are hundreds of dolls hanged or tied up to trees on a little island in the midst of the canals. Nothing to do with Egypt at all. They just both have pyramids.
It's the way that Jack figured out the first puzzle almost immediately, but it took GTLive excruciatingly long to figure out how the game wanted them to do the puzzle LMAO
To be fair, there are a ton of youtubers who cut out the puzzle-work, so we don't know how long it took them. I know Rye Toast also had a hard time solving it and their chat was trying to spoil it.
True! That puzzle is so weird. You either get it immediately or almost not at all 💀 my fav youtuber from my country had a very hard time with it too, even tho he’s the biggest puzzle nerd ever lmao (tho to be fair he IS known for never seeing the most obvious/easiest answers)

I don't think that lego bin's texture was AI generated. It looked like a jpg on a wavey mesh, a technique commonish in older games for things like trash piles.
Yeah, I actually plugged a prompt for that into an AI photo generator as well just to see what'd happen (if it'd be similar). Unfortunately, it was actually quite hd seemed good at a glance
Better question : who gives a fuck. This is like complaining that someone might have used a staple gun to put together a cheap drawer in a movieset instead of hiring a bespoke furniture craftsman to make the exact same drawer with nails.
I check the website Futurism for updates on technology news, and I've heard some news on the AI tag of the site that there's been incidents of people mistaking real things for AI. There's even been real people whose photos people think are AI generated, and they have to make a point to say that they're real people, not bots. So just as people mistake AI for the real thing, there are now cases where people mistake the real thing for AI.
@@felixjohnson3874 Artists whose art has been stolen to fuel these AI breeding machines are the ones who give a fuck if it was AI generated or not. There's also 0 talent behind generative AI and any game company that uses it shouldn't be creating video games if they're that unimaginative AI "art" is for losers
jack, i say this with a lot of love and respect, but i personally almost immediately figured out the M/D puzzle to an extent and was patiently waiting for you to figure it out/look it up, just for you to find it out and spend so EXCRUCIATINGLY long putting in THE WRONG NUMBERS AFTER REPEATEDLY LOOKING AT THE MONTH RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU 😭😭😭 i actually started yelling at my phone lmfao i had to skip a few seconds at one point because i was in genuine distress, but i really enjoyed this gameplay overall!!! this game definitely requires a lot of problem-solving and patience so i can understand how it must've been so tedious at certain points, you honestly did better than i would have done lol love this video and i'm looking forward to the next Amanda the Adventurer game if you decide to play it ! ❤
Anyone else notice Jack stopped getting the alley scene after the masked woman showed up? Pretty sure that ties into Amanda talking about not trusting people. Can you only get that scene while she isn't around?
I’m pretty sure it’s because she calls you, and that makes the opossum react, so it wouldn’t make sense if she called you again while she was next to you
at 18:25, i don't believe that was AI generated, from my knowledge, DreadXP (the creators of Amanda the Adventurer) do not support AI generated content and such, i believe they're just irl toys and such textured into the small blue box
It looks like a normal texture of legos. They're just distorted from them being placed on a jagged shape. Wouldn't really care either way. To me I'd honestly prefer if you used AI vs stock content. At least AI is original.
Jack being one of the only people to solve the first puzzle legitimately and fast (GT Took forever trying to do it properly), and then not finding the lock is priceless.
I love the way his face immediately changes to bewildered curiosity and just "fuck was that???" And just how he reacts to things he doesn't like in general
Considering he's in Europe, confusing the month day order is to be expected, especially when tired and being confused by much harder puzzles. It would be easy to miss.
The EU uses DD/MM/YY. Only the US uses MM/DD/YY. Juxtaposing "1 + 2 = MDMD" with "M/D M/D" is also confusing because the + sign looks like addition alongside the = sign, making the / look like division. I kept trying to solve the puzzle like a math problem and got nowhere. The usage of the + sign for concatenation only appears in certain computer programming languages like Javascript and Python. I suspect the devs were using one of those programming languages when coding the puzzle, and their bias crept in.
Amanda, “What is something you have built that took a lot of patience?” Sean, “Friendship” Amanda, “why would you waste your time doing that?” This cracked me up the first time I heard it Timestamp 53:31
I had this on while doing a university essay and for some reason the first time Amanda throws a fit from not having enough coins, my earbuds decided to glitch out and GO FULL VOLUME ON ME

@glebglub Yeah exactly: People don't actually know what real puzzles are anymore: Just straightforward gimmicks that even a five year-old can figure out. Games like these are a rare commodity nowadays
1:52:45 you could leave Jack a key right next to its lock and he'd pick it up and wander off saying "maybe I should unlock something with this" it's SO PAINFUL TO WATCH
Definitely not the first to notice this and just stating the obvious facts; but, I noticed that when Amanda is by herself the tape is not sponsored by Hameln. But, when Wooly is around, then the Hameln logo returns. Dunno if that helps any theorists, but I thought it was interesting.
Explains why she was so annoyed by Wooly being there. She said she doesn't want him to be there as if it was forced onto both of them to hang out and be best friends
"Definitely not the first to notice this and just stating obvious facts" I've watched a playthrough of this game 3 times now and read so many comments, this is the first time I learn of this
It really feels like wooly is a representation of the scientists that observed and experimented on Rebecca, that they were inserted in some fashion to keep her on track and contained. His wool being like a white lab coat, and the idea that he would be a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the demon form of Amanda having the wool over it's eyes to obscure the truth (though it also seems to exist to protect Amanda). It calls back to the last game when Amanda kept talking about death and rot, and that she was still out there somewhere (her physical self), but Wooly kept trying to change the subject. When she first encounters him here, it's with fear and rage. And all of her nightmares were about being watched, and eyes, and then being alone in the dark. The Pied Piper of Hamelin being the origin of the company name is interesting too - leading children away since the middle ages and now incorporating new technology with arcana and the occult to continue the tradition. Definitely interested to see the other lore tapes, this made me want to play myself.
@xandercholette7479 Oooo that's a goof theory honestly. But lowkey, that doesn't sit right with me, I argue that the opossum that keeps bothering Amanda is her dad. Do I have reasoning why? No, not YET. But Wooly's demon is so dangerous and aggressive I just find it hard to believe that it's Rebecca's dad and not some employee for Hamelin.

@@jaynazzar2539 tbf, these puzzles are very detail orientated. If you're good at remembering lore and picking out context clues, they're pretty easy. But I imagine if Sean doesn't like puzzles, and is focusing on being funny and entertaining, it makes sense that he doesn't pick up on some stuff. I don't remember if Gab played the first game, but this might be more up her alley

I was gonna say, I’m %90 I’ve seen that picture used as a texture before, i recognized the the yellow amalgamation and was like, wait I know that one 🫵😮
Oooh! 1:42:40 you can clearly see that the shape of the... eyes? Are in the silhouette of Amanda in the center! So maybe Rebecca (Amanda) isnt the creature itself but rather bound to it along with all the other kids that disappeared
I think its rather a manifestation and that's how she's able to control it and also see what's it's doing. Like how she knows when it's attacking you and can stop it. Like Rebecca's soul is in the videos but this is her body now. Idk how to explain it better... sorry.

Jack is a real one. Plays a bunch a games, has a lot of stuff to remember, remembers none of it, then has to deal with people in the comments going "Jack don't you remember!!!" No. No he does not remember.
YES Sean. We WANT to see you suffer while playing the game. Of course you should do all the secret tapes and get the true ending and come up with theories and connect them back to the first game. This is why I'm subscribed to your channel :D
Like others have said, watching something from you today is the only thing that’s brought me any semblance of peace. Maybe that’s parasocial behavior but I’ve been watching you for a decade. Thanks for all you do, Jack. Sincerely, a sad American ❤

You say poor wooly but it's being theorized that wooly is actually one of the bad guys. He is potentially one of the doctors that helped put rebecca into this
@ladylark10884 i just know a lot of people have been theorizing that it's someone from hamln trying to keep amanda happy so she doesn't try to escape or something but it was ash on gt live that was guessing it was one of the doctors hecause they believed the doctor sounded like wooley

This may not be intended, but on the first tape and a few others,there was a double shadow for amanda indicating there is 2 light sources as if it was professional lighting stands showing she is being recorded (possibly live)
After finishing the game, I'll say this. This game requires A LOT of sense, outside the box thinking, and qualititave reasoning. Really made my brain stress, I'm really used to games kinda just holding my hand through it, I didn’t expect Amanda the Adventurer of all things to push me like this
I didn't realize that after you get killed with the stuffed animal puzzle it brings you back to do the tapes "all over" but sets up the back half of the game. At first I thought he actually, completely started all over again from the beginning of the game. I think the "secret" tapes are the best part of this game because they hold the most lore. I hope Sean comes back to get the secret/cannon ending as well
First, did anyone else notice Wooly's eyes going black when the creature tried to attack Jack during the Knight Story section? Second, if what Jack is saying about the pictures on the wall having something to do with Amanda's actual life, then my theory is that knight=Sam?, Princess= Amanda(or moreso the creature), and Wizard=Hameln since he's the "trickster" Just a theory...
Yes I did! That was so weird! And only Amanda tried to stop it each time, Wooly looked unfazed even after we were almost murdered.. Aww and then she turns into the monster form (the dragon) and gets killed :( Good eye!
I've been saying since 1 Wooly is the real villain, and so much of the sequel confirms it. Dude taunts her and gets too wink wink about her death. Like look at what happens when you do the correct knight story instead of Wooly's. Amanda saves you from her attack dog either way but Wooly stays quiet when he can 100% see it. In fact his eyes go black right before you get attacked, Wooly didn't just let it happen he ordered the attack dog. He gets angry when you won't do his story, when we know his will kill you, stopping you from helping Amanda. That weird guy is with him too, as he tries to destroy the drawing before you can complete the drawing, and if you die you can't help Amanda. He's a demon, probably baalamb, torturing the soul of a dead little girl, garnering sympathy because he's a cutesy animal character that we see Amanda abusing. Brian from Family Guy type beat. I think the Knight story was supposed to be metaphorical, Wooly's the wizard making the Amanda seem like the threat so the knight, Riley, would kill her I love Amanda whooping his ass. (Also keep in mind Rebecca was said to be a sweet child and the live action show used to be loved by parents, so why would she suddenly becomes vicious and why would the show start teaching bad lessons for no reason? "Hameln" is named after the pied piper myth, so it's most likely they transformed her into "Amanda" to serve their goal of taking children, we saw they go missing last game after watching. She's somewhat possessed to serve that purpose, yet she directly tries to keep the child protagonist alive. Just like the dragon, wanting to speak as herself but only able to act as a threat because of magic).
@CosmicEL-Squid Doesn't explain how often Wooly mocks her for being dead ("it's fun to pretend you can go places" seems very specifically worded), or when he orders your death, or that the attack dog's eyes look exactly like Wooly's fur or how angry he is when you make Amanda feel better. Keep in mind the Wooly character didn't even exist in the original live action series, so who is he? I assume when Hameln had Rebecca recite demon mames under the guise of training some "voice matrix", he's the one who took. I mean just look at the start of the broken tape where 5+ Amanda's scream in agony looked down upon by a giant smiling Wooly in what can only be described as a hellscape. That dude is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@@billbill6094 I've seen theories saying the "attack dog" is like a demon/Amanda's demon (it has some of Amanda's features with "wool over the eyes" (which also happen to literally be the eyes*) and listens to her/tries to protect her). The other stuff related to that is spoiler territory for the secret ending so I won't go into it, but that demon/entity is not necessarily Wooly or a direct metaphor for Wooly I've also seen theories saying Wooly was created/used to keep Amanda pacified (hence why she hates him, she learned this, and that's why he haunts her sometimes/in a couple scenes). I've seen most people interpret that as him being a villain, but imo that could also mean he is not necessarily malicious but trying to do what he thinks/has been conditioned or programmed to think is best for her (which you could also interpret as being a villain, I'm just talking about intent/knowledge), as in his version of the knight story he genuinely seems to care for her in some way (if you interpret Wooly as the knight, Amanda as the princess, and the possum as the dragon (and I also interpreted Amanda's version of the knight story to be Amanda as the princess/dragon, and Wooly still as the knight, as he looked down at his hands and seemed upset when the knight killed the dragon, which is part of where I get the implication that he might not know how he's affecting her. Still not sure about the wizard in either version though; the "annoying wizard" part does make me think of Wooly but then that makes the knight thing weird, but anyway)). Wooly's toxic positivity and dismissal of Amanda's feelings of course ends up hurting her and keeping her trapped, and he of course has the outbursts as well, so his poor treatment of Amanda's feelings is highlighted and important regardless of whether he knows why or whether he's keeping her trapped or not As for the "weird guy"/possum, you get more information about him in the secret ending but he seems innocent Those are just some of my thoughts/ideas I've seen elsewhere though *edit: Actually I think I was just remembering Amanda's eyes doing that in the first game, but it looked like the entity's wool/eyes edit 2: Well Wooly does seem to taunt Amanda's predicament sometimes ("i'm going on an adventure in my mind" and some other stuff I can't remember, but again I suppose you could interpret those things differently), so perhaps he does know/is being malicious to some extent
I’m 100% believing this, especially after the “Who do you trust?” tape. It’s like she knows she can’t trust Woolly anymore, because she used to be a trusting little girl and now she’s stuck in a cartoon universe with a prison guard that’s practically keeping her pacified into staying there, mentally aging and learning about things like death and depression but without the wisdom that comes with actual aging. Now there’s some viewer she’s aware of and they’re doing and saying things she likes, trying to help her out. But at this point, she’s not sure what’s good or what’s bad, what’s wrong or what’s right. Except that this new viewer is *trying* and that’s almost enough.
2:09:28 - my entire browser froze at this point, and all I could hear was Jack going "Hello?? Hello?? Oh, God, that's weird." and like, clicking and messing with the computer I couldn't see as *I* clicked and messed with *my* computer Legitimately spooked me lmao what kinda game within a VHS tape within a video BS is this
Aw man, when you said you trusted Wooly and Amanda said she used to too, makes me feel like they're gonna make Wooly an antagonist. I don't want Wooly to be bad, he's so cute. 😭
I use to hate the theory that he was evil too bc he’s so cute and I love him but the more and more I watch these and read the comments of people point things out it makes more and more sense. Like the way Amanda hates him when she is just the spirit of an innocent little girl is suspicious, and one of the things that really started to make me think he could be bad is someone pointed out in one of the previous videos how the Amanda monster looks like it has sheep’s wool covering its eyes, that could be an indicator it’s being controlled by wooly. It also goes along with the phrase “pulling the wool over one’s eye” which means to trick or deceive someone which could mean wooly is deceiving all of us into thinking he is sweet and innocent.
@ollieno971 Yeaaah... the Amanda monster also has Wooly's snout. Idk, making Wooly bad seems like too obvious of a plot twist, so I was hoping he was going to be kept as a character who tries to keep Amanda from going haywire. It feels like they changed him a lot in the 2nd game compared to the 1st.
a unopenable piggy bank is actually a great way of saving money if you have self control/impulse control issues. Prevents you from dipping your meaty paws in there until you actually NEED it.
Can confirm, I got a clear acrylic cylinder that doesn't open. Seeing the money build up is so satisfying to me and not being able to take it out is very helpful for saving up.
An account at a credit union that only allowed in-person withdrawals worked great for the same reason. Then they got with the times and internet banking and it was too easy to access.
The only sad thing about Trump winning is how butthurt you guys are about it, like calm down it's just a president who is known for increasing the economy when he's in power.
Jump to 2:31:50 for the most masterful display of puzzle solving in the whole video! Seriously though Jack its remarkable how you were able to walk through everything you did minutes after doing it to realize where and how you messed up, and even to realize the dial was on 8 several minutes after you first saw it... that's a LOT of information stored in your subconscious!
I’m American, and with the election and all, i am very thankful for this video. Jackcepticeye has been my main “I need to feel happy” channel other than LazyPurple. Thank you so much Jack, i, and the other Americans here needed this. :)

Here's the lore from the first game is anyone needs a refresher. Our name is Riley. Our aunt Kate sends us a letter, saying that she has passed away and that she left her house to us. She tells us about tapes in her attic but warns us that if we watch them, we can't stop. The tapes are of a kid's cartoon, named Amanda the Adventurer, about a girl named Amanda and a sheep named Wooly. We learn from some papers in the attic that Kate worked at the local library but she had also been working on something behind the scenes.
Amanda the Adventurer used to be a live action, ran by Amanda's real dad, Sam. He was friends with Kate and would read stories out to the children at the library. He was well known from the cartoon since it got so popular. His daughter was the main focus of the show and her real name is Rebecca. Sam had adopted Rebecca. Sam was approached by a large producing company named Hamelin. They offered to make his show even bigger and he agreed. However, when it came time to sign paperwork and stuff, he started feeling uncomfortable. There was something weird going on. They were making Amanda repeat weird words and phrases. Hamelin knew he was getting cold feet so they removed him from the picture. We don't know if he's alive or not. They made Rebecca sign the contract instead. Through an old demonic ritual, they were able to put Rebecca's mind into Amanda.
Since the cartoon aired, children have gone missing after watching the show, like they just vanished. This was what Kate was looking into but she was killed before she had a chance to finish her work. During one of the endings of the first game, a masked figure shows up in the attic and slams their hands down on the table, then the game ends. That's where this game is starting off.
you are a GODSEND, i hope your pillow stays cool and your baked goods come out perfectly on the first try
But Kate is your aunt.
Thanks so much!!

Older piggy banks usually don't have a plug and do indeed need to be smashed. The idea being that you won't touch that money until you actually need it, cuz you don't WANT to break it and have to buy a new one.
@@RLane-xz5cj is that where breaking the bank came from
@tristanchamblin492 I believe that started as a gambling phrase for winning more money than the house could afford to pay you, and it's just a happy coincidence that it works so well with the imagery of smashing a piggy bank 🐷

interesting! gives a lot more insight as to why certain people might immediately go “why would you need to smash it?” and others might go “what plug?”

Mad respect for not cutting the M/D bit. Pretty much how I felt the entire game and I love puzzles. I understand your pain......
57:17 the dedication in Wooly’s scream is so freaking funny to me 😭 his VA does NOT fuck around
that's some tom & jerry or looney tunes kinda scream, gotta love it
40:33 that transition from "maybe YOU can find my a nightlight! :D" to all the lights going out and amanda begging you to "hurry back soon" gave me CHILLS. THAT WAS SO GOOD
i know i thought that was such a fun way to get the player more involved rather than just finding it in the tv screen
I enjoy the respect Sean shows where he isn't saying it's a bad game, just that it's not for him. Some people can't always see the difference. Loved watching!
ikr
gota be honest, i think he might of have enjoyed the game more if he watched a short recap of the first game
It’s most likely because he’s not a puzzle game kind of person and these games are all puzzle lol

oh you have no idea how badly I needed this upload today, sincerely an American who is completely numb
literally checked his channel thirty minutes ago for this exact reason. couldnt be more relieved to see this notification. probably going to be rewatching a lot of comfort series like the undertale one in the coming weeks. wishing you the best.
Another nearly numb American here. I’m grateful for this video too. We’ll get through this, I promise.
this is the devastated american safety zone, but yeah i'm seething - and also completely apathetic? i thought those weren't possible to feel at the same time but here we are.
@ yep. It’s a weird mix of feelings. I’m also dissociating so I’m just sort of …floating? On top of all the other emotions. It’s not fun.
💀
1:08:05 notice how Amanda said earlier “Now my teeth will rot out and i’ll starve to death” and the monkey has no teeth, and its super skinny and it’s ribs are showing indicating that it’s starving to death 👀 that’s an interesting detail to me
honestly i thought it had to be some kind of foreshadowing !
Oh i didn't piece it together with what she had said. I thought it was because of the "speak no evil" it was holding it's mouth shut and didn't eat. I saw that it had no teeth but somehow that flew over me xD
Two thoughts about the Patience video:
1) Man, Wooly is awfully snarky and mouthy with Amanda considering she gave him a saw to the face in the first game.
2) The cat that shows up to eat the birds looks like the cat from that one video... "Hey, Ma! There's a weird fuckin' lookin' cat out here! The thing looks like Grandma!"
Jack must feel so conflicted on this game cause he seems to like it and want to see what happens but he also gets sooooo frustrated at the puzzles sometimes.
That pretty much sums it up. I like the first game a lot but the puzzles in this one are harder and that’s just not my thing
Oof, yeah that's fair. Maybe they wanted to lean more on the puzzles than jumpscares and overdid it.
@@jacksepticeyeI gotcha. You're a lore guy. You're more interested in the lore than the complexities to get to the lore. That's why I watched your Bloodborne playthroughs instead of playing the game myself: I just needed the lore, man.
The puzzles were definitely a lot more confusing and tedious in this one, some of the clues just did not land on my playthrough when the first I got through relatively fine on my own, definitely didn’t help that my game bugged out at the Do You Feel Safe tape and I had to restart THE ENTIRE GAME to get through
@jacksepticeye if there's ever another one you and Gab should play it together!! (Or you and gab can work together to find the secret tapes in this game)
Fun fact answering “Hameln” to some of the fill in the blank prompts scares Amanda throughout the game

Been a while since watching your most current videos
OG fan from the cabin days, I was in 6th grade, now I’m 23 & married. Haven’t watched your videos talking about your health. But dude as an OG fan I do care. Even after all these years & developmental milestones. I still to this day watch your content, your content was a sense of escapism from the trauma of my upbringing. Thank you for being the safe space I needed growing up. Now on to watching you play a horror game from my favorite type of genre @ 4 am.
Your content is the type I will always find comfort in. Been dealing with major health conditions sending me into the hospital. Still recovering but your videos are helpful.
I feel so bad for Rebecca. It's also insane how well the community found the lore, it locks in perfectly with this game
Yeah me too 😢
the story that Riley tells instead of Wooly's story also gives us the extra context that Rebecca signed Hamelin's contract because they promised her they could bring her dad back which makes the whole thing even more heartbreaking.
Its almost like when the writers know what's happening from the start of a mystery, it can be solved by the audience. (That's what makes mysteries good, btw)

It's the way that Jack figured out the first puzzle almost immediately, but it took GTLive excruciatingly long to figure out how the game wanted them to do the puzzle LMAO
To be fair I had to look up some later ones cos they were so esoteric

I don't think that lego bin's texture was AI generated. It looked like a jpg on a wavey mesh, a technique commonish in older games for things like trash piles.
plus if it were AI generated I doubt that you'd be able to so clearly tell apart every individual lego piece
Yeah, I actually plugged a prompt for that into an AI photo generator as well just to see what'd happen (if it'd be similar). Unfortunately, it was actually quite hd seemed good at a glance
Better question : who gives a fuck. This is like complaining that someone might have used a staple gun to put together a cheap drawer in a movieset instead of hiring a bespoke furniture craftsman to make the exact same drawer with nails.
I check the website Futurism for updates on technology news, and I've heard some news on the AI tag of the site that there's been incidents of people mistaking real things for AI. There's even been real people whose photos people think are AI generated, and they have to make a point to say that they're real people, not bots. So just as people mistake AI for the real thing, there are now cases where people mistake the real thing for AI.
@@felixjohnson3874 Artists whose art has been stolen to fuel these AI breeding machines are the ones who give a fuck if it was AI generated or not. There's also 0 talent behind generative AI and any game company that uses it shouldn't be creating video games if they're that unimaginative
AI "art" is for losers
jack, i say this with a lot of love and respect, but i personally almost immediately figured out the M/D puzzle to an extent and was patiently waiting for you to figure it out/look it up, just for you to find it out and spend so EXCRUCIATINGLY long putting in THE WRONG NUMBERS AFTER REPEATEDLY LOOKING AT THE MONTH RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU 😭😭😭 i actually started yelling at my phone lmfao i had to skip a few seconds at one point because i was in genuine distress, but i really enjoyed this gameplay overall!!! this game definitely requires a lot of problem-solving and patience so i can understand how it must've been so tedious at certain points, you honestly did better than i would have done lol love this video and i'm looking forward to the next Amanda the Adventurer game if you decide to play it ! ❤
8:52 As a Youth Services Librarian Assistant…you have no idea the pain of looking for a lost book. 😭
2:28:20 Hearing Jack say MD/MD is the Month and Date then proceeds to put the Date and Year on the box almost made me slam my face on my desk XD
omg me too i almost died 🫠
Same
literally had me shouting at my screen
There are points in his video where I say "dammit Jack! Jack. Jack! SEAN!!!" That point was one of the government name drops😂
I was in tears when it all clicked for him 😂
Anyone else notice Jack stopped getting the alley scene after the masked woman showed up? Pretty sure that ties into Amanda talking about not trusting people. Can you only get that scene while she isn't around?
He might have had to get specific answers to get that scene? It's hard to tell because we only see the edited version of his process.
You can only get the scene watching the tape first time around pretty sure, so yeah after she calls it doesnt happen again
I’m pretty sure it’s because she calls you, and that makes the opossum react, so it wouldn’t make sense if she called you again while she was next to you
Bruh, that month/day part killed me hahaha his brain was definitely broken by that point
at 18:25, i don't believe that was AI generated, from my knowledge, DreadXP (the creators of Amanda the Adventurer) do not support AI generated content and such, i believe they're just irl toys and such textured into the small blue box
It seems to me as a picture of a pile of lego slapped onto a noise map.
It seems to be that yeah
This and it isn't disclosed on the Steam page, which with the new rules they'd have to do if they used AI content.
It looks like a normal texture of legos. They're just distorted from them being placed on a jagged shape.
Wouldn't really care either way. To me I'd honestly prefer if you used AI vs stock content. At least AI is original.
Exactly!!
The monster just being like "LET ME EAT HIM PLEASE" while Amanda treats it like a dog is actually so funny I love it
the monster tweaking out in the corner during the puzzle was KILLING ME that thing is so funny
Jack being one of the only people to solve the first puzzle legitimately and fast (GT Took forever trying to do it properly), and then not finding the lock is priceless.
24:22 what
Not be going "JACK. IT'S MONTH DAY MONTH DAY NOT DAY YEAR" 😭😭😭 I was stressed that whole sequence
Jack just casually showing off his gaming skill by spotting the spider at 1:01:09 while on the other side of the room
Yeaaa how did he even see that??? 😂
I love the way his face immediately changes to bewildered curiosity and just "fuck was that???" And just how he reacts to things he doesn't like in general
Sometimes he and Mark see things we don't and we see things they miss
Bro he just WENT for it, I have no idea how he saw that and I'm a little scared...
Considering he's in Europe, confusing the month day order is to be expected, especially when tired and being confused by much harder puzzles. It would be easy to miss.
he is in england
@ yes he is
@@GB_Rishad Which is in Europe
@@Slangers ikik
The EU uses DD/MM/YY. Only the US uses MM/DD/YY.
Juxtaposing "1 + 2 = MDMD" with "M/D M/D" is also confusing because the + sign looks like addition alongside the = sign, making the / look like division. I kept trying to solve the puzzle like a math problem and got nowhere.
The usage of the + sign for concatenation only appears in certain computer programming languages like Javascript and Python. I suspect the devs were using one of those programming languages when coding the puzzle, and their bias crept in.
Jack imitating Amanda going "Yeuh... 😩" around 1:28:53 made me laugh til tears stained my shirts
That was too funny 😂😂😂😂😂
Truly an “acting before thinking” moment 😂

Amanda, “why would you waste your time doing that?”

Just like the reviews said, the puzzles in this one are extremely hard. Good thing they gave us a tape about PATIENCE 😭

1:52:45 you could leave Jack a key right next to its lock and he'd pick it up and wander off saying "maybe I should unlock something with this" it's SO PAINFUL TO WATCH
Definitely not the first to notice this and just stating the obvious facts; but, I noticed that when Amanda is by herself the tape is not sponsored by Hameln.
But, when Wooly is around, then the Hameln logo returns.
Dunno if that helps any theorists, but I thought it was interesting.
much like the ending tape said, "the references are very subtle"
Explains why she was so annoyed by Wooly being there. She said she doesn't want him to be there as if it was forced onto both of them to hang out and be best friends
Because wooly is evil and works for Hamlin I’m almost positive that’s the lore because you can hear wooly in the finale secret tape
"Definitely not the first to notice this and just stating obvious facts" I've watched a playthrough of this game 3 times now and read so many comments, this is the first time I learn of this
Genius
Amanda's constant glare toward Wooly is on point with my looks when dealing with people.
Real though, it’s the look of “I’m so done with you”
That’s classic “are you fcking done yet?” Look
It really feels like wooly is a representation of the scientists that observed and experimented on Rebecca, that they were inserted in some fashion to keep her on track and contained. His wool being like a white lab coat, and the idea that he would be a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the demon form of Amanda having the wool over it's eyes to obscure the truth (though it also seems to exist to protect Amanda). It calls back to the last game when Amanda kept talking about death and rot, and that she was still out there somewhere (her physical self), but Wooly kept trying to change the subject. When she first encounters him here, it's with fear and rage. And all of her nightmares were about being watched, and eyes, and then being alone in the dark.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin being the origin of the company name is interesting too - leading children away since the middle ages and now incorporating new technology with arcana and the occult to continue the tradition. Definitely interested to see the other lore tapes, this made me want to play myself.
Holy shit you are a genius
@@River-wc5bx game theory was thinking he could be Amanda's dad inserted into the game himself. Hence the demonification
@xandercholette7479 Oooo that's a goof theory honestly. But lowkey, that doesn't sit right with me, I argue that the opossum that keeps bothering Amanda is her dad. Do I have reasoning why? No, not YET. But Wooly's demon is so dangerous and aggressive I just find it hard to believe that it's Rebecca's dad and not some employee for Hamelin.

Around 44:00 I was staring at those toys internally screaming "ITS THE TOY SHAPES MAN, TRY IT, TRY IT, TR-"
I love Wooly too, but seeing Amanda jump him to beat the crap out of him, and then suddenly the video cuts to a cheerful "Hi I am Amanda" is funny af
It's like something you find in a parody of those "Dora The Explorer" type shows
1:06 Jokes on you Sean, I was counting on you to give the refresher 😭😂
I'd love to watch you get all the secret endings, even if the video just fast forwards through a bunch of the repeated stuff. I love watching you play this series.
2:11:24
I mean, the "X X O" seemed like a pretty clear hint to go back to the box, right? 😅
Then that and the clown sealed it
Oh, poor jack 😉
We love you Jack, your videos always make us smile even after all these years. Thank you for everything!
48:52 Sean: "this has to be right, it couldn't be more right, I've never been more confident in anything in my entire life."
Me knowing the flowers are in the wrong places: 👁️👄👁️
Thanks for posting everything you've posted over the years Sean. Today has been quite the emotionally tough day and this made me so happy to see. SO EXCITED FOR THANKMASSS
"Shhh, I'm reading"
"Shhh, I don't give a fuck"
Jack is so real for that TvT
This may not be intended, but on the first tape and a few others,there was a double shadow for amanda indicating there is 2 light sources as if it was professional lighting stands showing she is being recorded (possibly live)
After finishing the game, I'll say this. This game requires A LOT of sense, outside the box thinking, and qualititave reasoning. Really made my brain stress, I'm really used to games kinda just holding my hand through it, I didn’t expect Amanda the Adventurer of all things to push me like this
I didn't realize that after you get killed with the stuffed animal puzzle it brings you back to do the tapes "all over" but sets up the back half of the game. At first I thought he actually, completely started all over again from the beginning of the game. I think the "secret" tapes are the best part of this game because they hold the most lore. I hope Sean comes back to get the secret/cannon ending as well
1:01:02 he is good at patience, and seeing small details we wernt able to see.
Your American viewers appreciate this content in these trying times, I for one needed it
I can imagine. Sending you my best and let's hope for a boring term :)
It's like christmas, first this morning's news and now a jacksepticeye vid
Same too. Needed this so bad
im in ny, what is going on in america right now? something bad? all I see is good things happening with people over reacting due to misinformation!
@ when they come for your rights too you’ll be a lot less snarky about it
First, did anyone else notice Wooly's eyes going black when the creature tried to attack Jack during the Knight Story section?
Second, if what Jack is saying about the pictures on the wall having something to do with Amanda's actual life, then my theory is that knight=Sam?, Princess= Amanda(or moreso the creature), and Wizard=Hameln since he's the "trickster"
Just a theory...
Yes I did! That was so weird! And only Amanda tried to stop it each time, Wooly looked unfazed even after we were almost murdered..
Aww and then she turns into the monster form (the dragon) and gets killed :(
Good eye!
A game theory….
(I had too I’m so sorry 😭😭)
YEAH
I've been saying since 1 Wooly is the real villain, and so much of the sequel confirms it. Dude taunts her and gets too wink wink about her death.
Like look at what happens when you do the correct knight story instead of Wooly's. Amanda saves you from her attack dog either way but Wooly stays quiet when he can 100% see it. In fact his eyes go black right before you get attacked, Wooly didn't just let it happen he ordered the attack dog. He gets angry when you won't do his story, when we know his will kill you, stopping you from helping Amanda. That weird guy is with him too, as he tries to destroy the drawing before you can complete the drawing, and if you die you can't help Amanda.
He's a demon, probably baalamb, torturing the soul of a dead little girl, garnering sympathy because he's a cutesy animal character that we see Amanda abusing. Brian from Family Guy type beat. I think the Knight story was supposed to be metaphorical, Wooly's the wizard making the Amanda seem like the threat so the knight, Riley, would kill her I love Amanda whooping his ass.
(Also keep in mind Rebecca was said to be a sweet child and the live action show used to be loved by parents, so why would she suddenly becomes vicious and why would the show start teaching bad lessons for no reason? "Hameln" is named after the pied piper myth, so it's most likely they transformed her into "Amanda" to serve their goal of taking children, we saw they go missing last game after watching. She's somewhat possessed to serve that purpose, yet she directly tries to keep the child protagonist alive. Just like the dragon, wanting to speak as herself but only able to act as a threat because of magic).
@CosmicEL-Squid Doesn't explain how often Wooly mocks her for being dead ("it's fun to pretend you can go places" seems very specifically worded), or when he orders your death, or that the attack dog's eyes look exactly like Wooly's fur or how angry he is when you make Amanda feel better.
Keep in mind the Wooly character didn't even exist in the original live action series, so who is he? I assume when Hameln had Rebecca recite demon mames under the guise of training some "voice matrix", he's the one who took. I mean just look at the start of the broken tape where 5+ Amanda's scream in agony looked down upon by a giant smiling Wooly in what can only be described as a hellscape.
That dude is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@@billbill6094 I've seen theories saying the "attack dog" is like a demon/Amanda's demon (it has some of Amanda's features with "wool over the eyes" (which also happen to literally be the eyes*) and listens to her/tries to protect her). The other stuff related to that is spoiler territory for the secret ending so I won't go into it, but that demon/entity is not necessarily Wooly or a direct metaphor for Wooly
I've also seen theories saying Wooly was created/used to keep Amanda pacified (hence why she hates him, she learned this, and that's why he haunts her sometimes/in a couple scenes). I've seen most people interpret that as him being a villain, but imo that could also mean he is not necessarily malicious but trying to do what he thinks/has been conditioned or programmed to think is best for her (which you could also interpret as being a villain, I'm just talking about intent/knowledge), as in his version of the knight story he genuinely seems to care for her in some way (if you interpret Wooly as the knight, Amanda as the princess, and the possum as the dragon (and I also interpreted Amanda's version of the knight story to be Amanda as the princess/dragon, and Wooly still as the knight, as he looked down at his hands and seemed upset when the knight killed the dragon, which is part of where I get the implication that he might not know how he's affecting her. Still not sure about the wizard in either version though; the "annoying wizard" part does make me think of Wooly but then that makes the knight thing weird, but anyway)).
Wooly's toxic positivity and dismissal of Amanda's feelings of course ends up hurting her and keeping her trapped, and he of course has the outbursts as well, so his poor treatment of Amanda's feelings is highlighted and important regardless of whether he knows why or whether he's keeping her trapped or not
As for the "weird guy"/possum, you get more information about him in the secret ending but he seems innocent
Those are just some of my thoughts/ideas I've seen elsewhere though
*edit: Actually I think I was just remembering Amanda's eyes doing that in the first game, but it looked like the entity's wool/eyes
edit 2: Well Wooly does seem to taunt Amanda's predicament sometimes ("i'm going on an adventure in my mind" and some other stuff I can't remember, but again I suppose you could interpret those things differently), so perhaps he does know/is being malicious to some extent
I agree, but Riley isn't a child, she's an adult
I’m 100% believing this, especially after the “Who do you trust?” tape. It’s like she knows she can’t trust Woolly anymore, because she used to be a trusting little girl and now she’s stuck in a cartoon universe with a prison guard that’s practically keeping her pacified into staying there, mentally aging and learning about things like death and depression but without the wisdom that comes with actual aging.
Now there’s some viewer she’s aware of and they’re doing and saying things she likes, trying to help her out. But at this point, she’s not sure what’s good or what’s bad, what’s wrong or what’s right. Except that this new viewer is *trying* and that’s almost enough.
I mean the demon literally has "wool pulled over eyes"
2:09:28 - my entire browser froze at this point, and all I could hear was Jack going "Hello?? Hello?? Oh, God, that's weird." and like, clicking and messing with the computer I couldn't see as *I* clicked and messed with *my* computer
Legitimately spooked me lmao what kinda game within a VHS tape within a video BS is this
Aw man, when you said you trusted Wooly and Amanda said she used to too, makes me feel like they're gonna make Wooly an antagonist. I don't want Wooly to be bad, he's so cute. 😭
I learned early on NEVER TRUST CUTE AND INNOCENT THINGS especially in games and anime always expect a betrayal (thank you madoka magica)
right i love wooly 😭
I use to hate the theory that he was evil too bc he’s so cute and I love him but the more and more I watch these and read the comments of people point things out it makes more and more sense. Like the way Amanda hates him when she is just the spirit of an innocent little girl is suspicious, and one of the things that really started to make me think he could be bad is someone pointed out in one of the previous videos how the Amanda monster looks like it has sheep’s wool covering its eyes, that could be an indicator it’s being controlled by wooly. It also goes along with the phrase “pulling the wool over one’s eye” which means to trick or deceive someone which could mean wooly is deceiving all of us into thinking he is sweet and innocent.
Also in this video right before the Amanda monster pops out and is about to attack the player we see Wooly’s eyes go completely black
@ollieno971 Yeaaah... the Amanda monster also has Wooly's snout. Idk, making Wooly bad seems like too obvious of a plot twist, so I was hoping he was going to be kept as a character who tries to keep Amanda from going haywire. It feels like they changed him a lot in the 2nd game compared to the 1st.
a unopenable piggy bank is actually a great way of saving money if you have self control/impulse control issues. Prevents you from dipping your meaty paws in there until you actually NEED it.
Can confirm, I got a clear acrylic cylinder that doesn't open. Seeing the money build up is so satisfying to me and not being able to take it out is very helpful for saving up.
An account at a credit union that only allowed in-person withdrawals worked great for the same reason. Then they got with the times and internet banking and it was too easy to access.
I love how they used the fugly cat from that meme-video with the guy calling his mom to look at that UGLY CAT xD
19:00 you got me sold on that man sounds awesome props to the editor wow
Sean in a time of utter despair rn you bring me so much joy, I am grateful for you
The only sad thing about Trump winning is how butthurt you guys are about it, like calm down it's just a president who is known for increasing the economy when he's in power.
Jump to 2:31:50 for the most masterful display of puzzle solving in the whole video!
Seriously though Jack its remarkable how you were able to walk through everything you did minutes after doing it to realize where and how you messed up, and even to realize the dial was on 8 several minutes after you first saw it... that's a LOT of information stored in your subconscious!
I’m American, and with the election and all, i am very thankful for this video. Jackcepticeye has been my main “I need to feel happy” channel other than LazyPurple. Thank you so much Jack, i, and the other Americans here needed this. :)
I'm more of a LazyRed kinda guy
Other Californians*
Evidently, the majority of Americans are excited not to have to deal with democrats for another four years
I spent almost an hour sitting hoping you’d do the second exit for the train. Please please please make a part 2 to this!!
