Playing the viral analog horror sensation Amanda the Adventurer is like watching an interactive version of Dora the Explorer on a really, really gnarly shroom trip, and it's every bit as terrifying as that would actually be.
I was alerted to Amanda the Adventurer by a GamesRadar+ news story that warns, "This horror game may look like a kid's TV show, but please don't show it to your children." Intrigued, I downloaded the free demo on Steam, but it wasn't until I played through the full game a few times that I found myself utterly bewitched by its characters and the many disturbing theories floating around online about what real-world or paranormal horrors are plaguing them.
