About Amanda the Adventurer 3

Amanda the Adventurer 3 was made by MANGLEDmaw Games and published by DreadXP. It came out on Steam for Windows on November 6, 2025, and on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on May 28, 2026. It costs $9.99, and its makers call it the final game of the trilogy. It is voiced in English and Latin American Spanish and has text in French, Italian, German, Japanese, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese.

The story starts immediately after Amanda the Adventurer 2. Riley Park, who first found the tapes in Aunt Kate's attic and then barely escaped the Kensdale Public Library with the help of a masked woman, now goes into an abandoned facility of the Hameln Corporation, the company tied to the making of the children's show, to find out what it was really for.

The makers describe it as a return to form that takes the best parts of the first two games. You explore the facility in first person: dark offices and cubicles, a kitchen with a chained fridge, a corridor of glowing machine pods, and a booth lined with camera feeds and tape reels. You play new episodes of the 90s-style CGI cartoon, talk back to Amanda and her friends, and solve escape-room puzzles whose clues are hidden in the tapes. The Life is Xbox review notes a new layer: some hidden tapes are filmed with real actors and sets, so the game mixes the cartoon, the 3D facility and live footage. The same review found the puzzles easier than in the earlier games, says an early helper character offers hints, and counts two main endings.

The fear is the series' own: a bright, cheerful cartoon in a building that has been empty for years, characters on the screen who know you are there, and something in the dark you mostly hear, waiting for a mistake. The reviewer finished the story in about two and a half hours and everything in about five, and wished it were longer. It is a game for players who finished the first two; it is not the place to start.

How to play Amanda the Adventurer 3

1. Buy it on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch; play the first two games first for the story.
2. Explore the Hameln facility and find where the tapes are played.
3. Watch each episode and answer Amanda and her friends when they speak to you.
4. Search the offices and rooms for objects, notes and codes.
5. Use the clues from the tapes to solve the escape-room puzzles that open the way deeper into the facility.

Tips

• Pay attention to colours, words and numbers in each episode; the puzzles use them.
• Read the notes and screens you find in the offices; they explain what the facility was for.
• Check every room before playing the next tape.
• If a puzzle stalls you, listen to the helper you meet early on, who offers hints.
• There are two main endings and 17 achievements; a second run is how you see what you missed.
