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!

SO TRUE

[@billycurtis1841]

You ain't lying

[@IllegalCheeseCake.]

tbh, wooly seems more like an employee trying to keep the demon under control than a parent trying to keep his kid calm and happy.

[@dronz3881]

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.]

@@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.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

I saw a comment on another video pointing out the intro without wooly (the last coloring book tape), there's no intro music like all the others. instead, it's Amanda singing the intro music. no clue if it's anything at all but I found it interesting

[@_WeDontKnow_]

@@IllegalCheeseCake. lots of parents were starting to not let their kids watch the show because the subject matter was getting weird, so I can understand why an employee would try to keep that type of content off the show. they want to reach as many kids as possible, cant do that when parents are shutting the television off

[@geminajamart]

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

[@slyceth]

YES! You teased this during the fnaf talkback and now its here!!!

[@probhatisaha6056]

You say wooly is the evil

[@Fran_Fuentes]

Woah

[@liz6493]

I’m sharing the same opinion on wooly! I also think he is trying to keep the show appropriate so that the parents will let their children keep watching the show, after all they want the kids😭

[@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

[@IVP0ND]

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.

[@DanielVast]

Yes, he tries to keep us and her away from the truth

[@stardustascension9842]

yeah exactly

[@amedotuniverse652]

I think that's more to keep her from becoming the multi-eyed monster when she gets upset

[@MLBedits4U-bc1sp]

i disagree, i think that whenever amanda gets sad or mad her entity starts to show so wooly tries to side track her so it keeps her entity at bay

[@chenmae9747]

Its a theory for a reason, he didnt say it was right, thats your own

[@BarksWolfy]

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.

[@GamerMage2k-kl4iq]

Plus Amanda's Reaction of her more or less going "Wait, how do you know that?"

[@godsnintendog]

The Pied Piper story is such a fun idea for an indie horror game, I’m so glad this game is doing it justice!

[@mark.6639]

[@Aladite]

I feel like Sam isn't exactly Wooly, because in the farm scene where Amanda asks what the father chicken is called, if you type sam, the barn in the background looks directly at you. 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

[@DaREALgremlinprescott]

EXACTLY I THINK SAM IS THE BARN IT WOULD MAKE SM SENSE because if they were going to trap Sam there, It would make more sense to trap him in something that CANNOT talk over something that can say or do whatever they want like Wooly

[@collinsmith2047]

I definitely agree

[@foxy_da_piratevods1812]

I really am glad that Sam wasn’t the villain. That he was genuine in his love for Rebecca and his show.

[@dunegamer4149]

Fun fact: if you turn and walk to your left from spawn you will find a pile of books with one of them having a secret message that I’ve decoded to say “who is wooly” which furthermore proves that wooly isn’t just some sheep

[@jacquelinemacabra9672]

If Sam is Wooly, the implication that Rebecca(Amanda) is constantly bullying her own dad without knowing makes this so much more brutal.

[@zenos02]

I don't think Sam is Wooly, instead I think Sam is the Mysterious Stranger that you see in the secret ending. They only assumed Sam was killed because he had been missing for so long but they also report that "No Body was ever recovered"

Matpat I know some lore to share 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

[@fahadmohamud2519]

I've got more LORE to share If you type Sam when you play the petting zoo tape the cabin stares directly at you so probably the cabin is Sam and the demon is torturing him for trying to ruin its plans.

[@fahadmohamud2519]

That's probably why it has those stressful looking eyes.

[@Crow_withaphone]

Just had a random thought- In the barn animals tape, when Amanda calls woolie a sheep and he looks offended- If we're following this theory I feel like that could be Amanda calling woolie -aka her dad- a follower and basically "calling him out" for allowing Amanda to be put in the show until it was far too late to turn back I dunno, just an idea

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.

[@aurawolf8761]

That would make sense as I was questioning that too as I remember Wookiee saying he is allergic to apples in the first game. This could also be why during the farm tape going to the sheep pen it’s fully of dead sheep bodies and Woolie turns back to a sheep on four legs and not talking

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.

I think Sam is the guy who bursts into the room at one of the endings. Woolie is a handler placed in the show to keep the demons on script. They need to keep children saying demon names along with Amanda during the response portions of the show.

[@CommanderWiggins]

I agree, the fact that the model has a very similar skintone to Sam is a very interesting detail for the developers to include, and I think it would be a unique plot twist for Sam to actually be alive, and now he's finally found someone who is able to help save his daughter.

[@ibzdagamer]

There was also a credit scene that stated containment specialist, that could be wooly, as well as the books around the room having decodeable titles, one of them stated who is wooly? And I think another was something along the lines of can wooly be trusted

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

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.

[@spacegodxx]

@@NobodyIsBackyet he always warns us when the demon is about to come. Him being evil makes 0 sense lol

[@ethans3839]

I don't think wooly is Amanda's dad, she clearly hates him. Amanda keeps talking about unpleasant subjects most likely to get parents attention and make kids stop watching the show, Wooly on the other hand is trying to stop her and even says "nothing is rotten" like he's trying to gaslight her. Not to mention her monster form with wool covering the eyes- its literally "pulling the wool over her eyes" I think he's ment to be the "wolf in sheep's clothing" pretending everything is fine so they can lure in more children

[@oscarcacnio8418]

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.

[@bluelfsuma]

Yoooo, I hadn't thought about "wolf in sheep's clothing". Genius!

[@potatosandwitch]

I was just about to point that out! Also, id say "Baa Lamb" kinda hints for Wooly's true identity as well.

[@HopeIsADrug11037]

[@XxlamaxXishere]

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 ?

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?

[@Candyfooly]

I feel like Wooly is part of Hamelin, and is there to watch over Amanda/Rebecca to make sure the program is going as it’s supposed to, and act as her “friend”. I feel like the reason Rebecca feels so alone is because Sam is gone, and it doesn’t make sense why Rebecca would be so hostile towards her dad who she seems to miss (the rooster scene from the farm). I think the guy in the red jacket in the final true ending might be Sam

[@gocrucial]

I dont think wooly is the father too!, as you can see at the end of the game (when you find all the tapes) u are met with a unknown figure with a red coat we dont know who this guy might be but this all points out to being someone that really knows about all this stuff from afar someone that has made research about all of this and really knows about the behind scenes and wants to stop it its the father, maybe instead of killing the father off they missed, and sam managed to escape, he couldnt appear in broadlight again for so long thanks for the company (hamlen) looking out for him and try to kill him off again,so he only appears when its rlly needed (when riley finds all the truth and the tapes) thats when he needed to intervene and help riley to find his daughter.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

Idk about the guy in the red jacket but I definitely think it's weird that Rebecca would be so aggressive with her dad

[@theredsir869]

There is a chance she or Wooly don’t fully remember everything or that Rebecca is unaware of Wooly’s true identity; while Wooly is either unable or too ashamed to reveal who he is.

[@ibzdagamer]

@@theredsir869 the problem with that is, wooly isn't acting like amanda would and instead trying to keep amanda at bay with specific things, even when you mention the fathers name or try and break the game, wooly always seems to be shocked, or shaking hes head at the viewer. if it was the father, he would also be having second thoughts with stuff/questioning just like amanda.

[@ibzdagamer]

there was this one tape with wooly in the room, in that secret tape, he was smiliing, chilling, not like he wants to break out, happy, if he was the father, he would be stressed/not patient or any other emotion apart from happy and not leaning on hes chair in the tape.

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.

[@thewayofthebeard3680]

is there a video on KZbin that goes through the real ending?

[@itzorca3997]

Personally I think apply is the one keeping Amanda trapped in their. He’s employed by heimlin as a seemingly innocent sheep to make sure Amanda doesn’t escape. I also think his role as a sheep falls in line with the idea of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”

[@itzorca3997]

*wooly not apply

[@RottingRats]

I think Wooly is actually someone from Hamlen, trying to make sure Rebecca doesn’t do anything or think anything like “I feel myself rotting”, thats why he says “Nothing is rotten here” afterwards. 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.

[@Cool_Calm_Cam]

There is one last tape GT didn't mention here, and that's the one of a Wooly solo spin-off program where it is eleven uninterrupted minutes of Wooly sitting mostly silent and idle. Whoever or whatever "Wooly" is, he does not have the ability--or maybe the desire--to perform on his own. 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.

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.

Maybe the company lost control of the demon and don't want Amanda to turn into it, so they have Wooly there to calm her down.

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.

I think Wooly is someone from Hamelin, like a researcher or handler.

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.

Thisss I think the theory is solid otherwise. I do think wooly isn't a child that's trapped but I also don't really believe he's Sam. Just because I personally also get a slight bad vibe from him, in my eyes it seemed like wooly was purposely trying to have Amanda forget the bad stuff, so I was thinking he was more like a hamlen bad guy or something. I do think the farm episode could allude to wooly representing Sam in a way with how he isn't allowed to speak and such. But also I just feel like if it was actually Sam he would have more care for Amanda. We definitely will have to wait and see when more is added to the game

It doesn’t make sense givin how wooly tries to basically keep her in line with the show. Almost as if he doesn’t want the watcher finding out more information. If it was Sam he’d be doing his best to help the watcher find out what happened too her just as much as Amanda does. Not only that but I didn’t like the whole “Amanda is still alive but atrophied” idea. She clearly states that she feels herself rotting. As in she was killed and her soul was transferred to the show. Especially when they clearly talk about dead things start to rot in that episode implying that she is clearly dead and can feel herself starting to decompose. This whole theory kind of felt a little rushed in my opinion…..
