    Friends, today we're FINALLY doing our theory on Amanda The Adventurer, the full game! We've covered Amanda before but it was WAY back in the demo phase. Now that the FULL game is out there is SO much more to theorize about. Everything from Wooly, to Sam Colton to Hamelin, it ALL needs to be solved... and I know JUST the guy to do it!

    The idea that Wooly could be Sam also sounds plausible due to his behavior in the farm video too. When Amanda calls Wooly a sheep or an animal, he usually looks really surprised to receive that information. He is also caught off guard when you use the word “Sam” instead of “Rooster” for the chicken bit, like he immediately knew that name and was wondering how you found it.

    • @dronz3881
      @dronz3881 ปีที่แล้ว +576

      I think Wooly is the demon, trying to keep Amanda on-script so they can keep the kidnappings going. I mean, the "Demon Amanda" that comes out to kill you has wool over her eyes, and in the "Don't help the kitten" ending, we see that happen. The entire background is gone except the Woolie model, though only limbs and a head, because his wool is infecting Amanda so she can attack.

    • @IllegalCheeseCake.
      @IllegalCheeseCake. ปีที่แล้ว +426

      @@dronz3881 thats unlikely because wooly is trying to keep amanda calm and not have murderous thoughts, which seems like the exact opposite of what the demon wants amanda to do.
      About the demon model, the wool is an interesting thing to point out but those could just be eyes and the demon has amanda's hair. The eyes do definitely look like wool and wooly's lack of wool in that tape does seem to connect so maybe the demon possesses both?
      Lastly, in the tape where Rebeca is chanting the names of the demons pretty much confirms that Rebeca (AKA Amanda) is possessed by the demon so it wouldn't make much sense for the demon to be in another body like wooly. The demon would have to be possessing the game instead which isn't implied in the game at all.

    The only thing I probably disagree about his theory is that Wooly is Sam. I see where you’re going with it, but judging by the some scenes, Wooly is definitely not the innocent one. When Amanda talks about something dark in the tapes, Wooly tries to change the subject, leading her off the track that she’s Rebecca. That seems to me like he’s trying to keep her from remembering who she is, not helping her calm down. Also, it’s only when Wooly gets killed off in the end when Amanda says “she’s out there”. That’s because he isn’t there anymore to manipulate her anymore. With Wooly gone, she can think for herself and realize who she is.

  • @geminajamart
    @geminajamart ปีที่แล้ว +2438

    Personally, I think Wooly is a stand-in for the execs at Hamln. Whenever Amanda (Rebecca) breaks character and starts thinking about topics outside the script, Wooly will try and distract her and get her back on track. He doesn't want her to go off the beaten path, so he shuts her up. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, trying to pull the wool over the player's eyes. Amanda DOES, however, occasionally snap back and silence Wooly. It's only when Amanda overpowers Wooly and takes him out (and turns him into sausage...) that she feels safe sharing her secret with the player. Alternatively, she only asks the player to help the lonely kitten after Wooly is out of her ear

    • @princ6ss

      I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH THIS OHH MY GOD. wooly is definitely not what he seems. from the early tapes wooly is constantly trying to keep amanda in check acting as the more sensible and trustworthy character, i feel like wooly is actively trying to manipulate the perception the viewers have of him to maintain a trust of his word over amanda's. whenever amanda becomes self-aware, remembering her past, uncovering the truth, ETCCC wooly is constantly shutting her down, saying she is confused, and replacing her memories and thoughts with HIM as a distraction to whats really happening. only when wooly cannot interfere does amanda actually open up to the viewer. at some point in one of the tapes, wooly asks the viewer if they trust him, before amanda interrupts claiming wooly is sick in the head and giving him an (assumably) drugged drink, urging him to drink it by saying "it's all just pretend, isnt it wooly?" AND THIS SENTENCE SPECIFICALLY STOOD OUT TO ME because after amanda takes him into the operating room and knocks wooly unconscious, she shushes him and says it'll all be okay?? i feel like this is definitely learned behavior from some sort of abuse rebecca endured from hameln that wooly is desperately trying to make amanda forget. amanda definitely has rebecca's soul and is being shut out of her own memories and real self because wooly's only purpose is to conceal the truth from her for hameln to lure more children sacrifices with the show. BUT IDK THATS JUST MY INTERPRETATION

    U know when Amanda said "I'm out there... somewhere" it links to the part when she said "sometimes I feel rotting but it feels far away" meaning Amanda is rotting out there
    I might know where.
    Before this version of the game came out there was a demo,in that demo it had a tape that tape had map or a location so that must mean that Amanda or Rebecca body is there
    Another piece of lore is Amanda can't get out in a human form only in her demonic form because her actual body is dying/rotting

And it really looks like that barn knows whats all going on, seeing as it's not at all like the other objects with eyes on them. Heavily breathing, eyes bloodshot, and in pure torment

    I already made a comment here but let's give it another go!
    Alright I'm going to share some opinions. Sam is probably either the barn or the masked dude when you get the secret tapes. Barn looks... Traumatized and looks at you when you type Sam. The dude at the end also looks a lot like Sam, and is probably trying to hide himself. If Wooly was Sam, I think Amanda would know and probably will feel safe, so no lonely kitten breakdown-
    She would also not have killed Wooly in the first place, break his leg and literally shut him up in the petting zoo tape.
    Anyways, that's all I had to say on this.

    The more cursed the tapes get, the more real imagery for the backgrounds are shown, proving that Amanda/Rebecca is getting closer to reality. In the first version, when searching for treasure, the background starts to become realistic, and when the whole rotting episode is playing, the scenery becomes more realistic and there’s a point where Wooly and Amanda’s voices get weird. Also, in the first game, Woolie (remember, different name than now) says he’s allergic to apples. In the picnic scene and pie scene, apples are all around him and he doesn’t even flinch. Wooly also has ears in the later versions, but in the early versions, he does not. Amanda probably killed him and then went to the petting zoo and got a new sheep as Wooly starts to get dehumanized when going there.

    I feel like there's one bit of symbolism in the game that can't be ignored. When Amanda turns into the monster, those white dots on her face aren't eyes. They're WOOL. So someone is "pulling the wool over her eyes", keeping her from knowing the truth. Surely that isn't just a coincidence.

      While I do agree that Wooly isn't Sam Colton, I could see the argument for it.
      A child gets angry at their father for his mistake, believing that it is the father who is hurting them. Thus, the animosity towards Wooly. Rebecca thinks her dad betrayed her, so she takes out all her anger on him.
      Personally, I think Wooly is meant to be the Containment Specialist or a lesser daemon put in charge.

      Yeah I actually agree that wooly isn't sam, because he acts like a brother to her. (Yes I know, Amanda/ Rebecca doesn't have a brother) tbh it's still not clear what's wooly's identity. But let me say something about the demon eyes that looks like wool. I don't think the eyes are covered in wool, because when she has a breakdown about Riley not helping the kitten (which represents Rebecca), she gets closer to the screen when we see Amanda has the eyes, and you can see there are slightly white pupils.
      Now I wanna talk about th ending where you agree to help the lonely kitten, what I think when we agree to help her. She starts smiling very creepily, which actually leads to the meat ending. I believe that Hamlin production was in control of Amanda at that moment, and I believe the demon who trapped Amanda and the other souls in the show, lured Riley and turned them into meat, just like how mat mentioned that the whole game is based of the piped piper story. Now that's just my opinion, what do you think ?

He also looked very disappointed when Amanda mails the package to Kate, and if Amanda was trying to ask or give help to Kate in that moment, it would make sense for Wooly to be from Hamlen.

      This could lend credence to either your hypothesis or even GT's; if Wooly is Sam, then Sam is sitting silently because he refuses to dance for Hameln, but if Wooly is a Hameln employee, then the poor schmuck has no clue what to do on his own because he only knows how to placate Amanda/Rebecca.

    My favorite part about that "I'm waiting for you in your closet" line isn't the line itself, but rather how it applies to me. I find it particularly funny because if anybody WAS waiting in my closet, I'd be able to tell, because:
    1. My bed is literally right in front of my closet. I moved it there so that I'd have more pacing space in my room.
    2. I still wanted to be able to access my clothes, so I took off the door to my closet, so that I wouldn't have to pull my bed out just to get dressed only to need to move it back again.
    3. With the previous 2 points in mind, it would be absurdly obvious if somebody was hiding in my closet because I'd notice something was amiss *immediately*
    The line still gave me chills tho lol, thanks mostly in part to the stark suddenness of it. Awesome job!

When amanda was trying to make wooly drink a toxin, she said "it's all just pretend isnt it wooly". And when they were at the barn the reason wooly was turning back into a normal sheep was because of the thunderstorm disrupting the signal between the agent and wooly's character

    I believe this Pied Piper connection is what is going to really crack this game's lore open. It's heavily implying that the Amanda tapes are luring/hypnotizing kids to somehow off themselves, like the pied piper and the kids in the story. The new question is figuring out what role Rebecca plays in all this. Is the controlling it? Or is she a victim of this demon too?

    i'm surprised mat didn't talk about the book with the encoded message in the bookshelf. Using the symbols that appeared in the demo, you can decode the book and it says "who is wooly?". I honestly don't think Sam is wooly, although it makes sense. It just feels like the game has wooly as one of the bigger mysteries yet to be solved and I don't see why Amanda would be so hostile towards Wooly, it feels like Gregory's hatred towards the glam animatronics. It does explain why Wooly is so patient with her though.

    I think Wooly is someone from Hamelin, like a researcher or handler.
    Like you said, Wooly is constantly trying to keep Amanda on track, but in one of the secret tapes, Wooly sits in an interrogation room, silent and calm. For an entire 10 minutes. Until he gets an idea at the end, but quickly changes his mind, as if he knew his idea wouldn't work.
    To me, this feels like one of two things.
    1. A researcher waiting for their test subject to enter so they can begin the experiment.
    2. Someone from Hamelin Studio who is trying to think of an episode's script, but can't without Amanda's creative input.

    I actually disagree that Sam Colton is Wooly because Wooly why would Amanda hate her own father and go so far to try and kill him? Also he seems to try to want everything to be pretend in the tape where Amanda killed Wooly. Wooly also wanted to distract her and pretend it’s his birthday because he knows she’s remembering. I think that Wooly is a crew member that tries to make Amanda forget her past life and that gives a reason of why she hates him.

      I think it might be Sam if his end goal isn't to save Amanda. Amanda WANT to be saved and returned to her body and Wooly seemingly doesn't want that as his end goal. Why? Because Hamelin want more childrens to be lured. And they are using Amanda's desire to be freed, her plea for help as a bait for other childrens to follow her lead. Wooly goal here (Or Sam) is to keep Amanda happy, mentally stable (or maybe keep her soul intact and uncorrupted) and distracted from sending other childs to their doom. Wooly... want to prevent what happened to his daughter to other childrens! Sam probably wish to save Amanda but now that his soul in the same place as his daughter, his options for that are quite limited. But Amanda want this torment to end so he is bound to get hated by Amanda if he let her thoughts wonder and then he wont be able to protect her from the demons or the corporation owing the show.
