Fans of Amanda the Adventurer have been eagerly waiting for the next chapter, and now the wait is almost over. Indie studio MANGLEDmaw Games and horror publisher DreadXP have officially announced Amanda the Adventurer 3, the final entry in their viral cult horror trilogy. After two games packed with sinister puzzles, creeping dread, and a heavy dose of ’90s nostalgia, it’s time to uncover the ultimate truth behind Amanda, Hameln Entertainment, and the many disturbing mysteries hidden in Kensdale.
The new title is slated to launch on Steam later this year, bringing closure to a series that has captured imaginations — and nightmares — worldwide.
A Journey That Started with a Simple Tape
The first Amanda the Adventurer started off deceptively simple: you, playing as Riley Park, find a strange collection of VHS tapes left by your Aunt Kate. But it didn’t take long before players realized this wasn’t just a lost children’s show — it was a dark and twisted puzzle box hiding secrets far more sinister than anyone expected.
Following the success of the original, Amanda the Adventurer 2 raised the stakes. Riley’s journey continued into the Kensdale Public Library, with new dangers lurking around every dusty shelf. New puzzles, creepy atmosphere, and the ominous appearance of a masked woman kept fans guessing.
Now, Amanda the Adventurer 3 promises to conclude Riley’s harrowing story once and for all.

What We Know About Amanda the Adventurer 3
Set immediately after the events of the second game, Amanda the Adventurer 3 picks up with Riley escaping the Kensdale Public Library — thanks to the help of the enigmatic masked figure. Now, Riley must delve into the heart of the mystery: the abandoned Hameln Entertainment facility, the birthplace of Amanda and the strange tapes that started it all.
According to MANGLEDmaw Games, this final installment takes the best parts of the first two games and refines them into a climactic experience packed with the same eerie charm that defined the series.
Key Features:
