Amanda originated as the protagonist of a live-action children's show in 1999, portrayed by Rebecca Colton.After Hameln Entertainment acquired the show in 2000, they subjected Rebecca to experiments that led to her consciousness being transferred into Amanda's animated form in 2002.
This transformation resulted in a demonic entity, resembling Amanda's appearance, being summoned and bound to the show.Rebecca's memories persist within Amanda, causing her to occasionally express desires to be free from her current state.

However, as the series progresses, her demeanor becomes increasingly aggressive and sinister, especially when viewers answer questions incorrectly.
In some episodes, Amanda exhibits moments of vulnerability, such as pleading for Riley's safety or expressing fear of the dark, hinting at her internal conflict between her demonic nature and lingering human emotions.
🐑 Wooly
Appearance
Wooly is an anthropomorphic sheep characterized by his black skin, white wool covering his body and head, and expressive eyes.
His design is reminiscent of early 2000s 3D animation styles, contributing to the show's nostalgic yet unsettling aesthetic.
Personality
Serving as Amanda's sidekick, Wooly often acts as the voice of reason, attempting to guide viewers through the episodes.
Despite his friendly demeanor, he frequently appears anxious and fearful of Amanda's erratic behavior.
In certain episodes, Wooly attempts to rebel against Amanda's control, breaking character to communicate directly with the audience.His interactions suggest a deeper awareness of the show's darker elements and a desire to protect viewers from its sinister undertones.
Fate

🧩 Lore and Themes

🐐 Character Concept: Theo the Goat
Species: Goat
Fur: White
Eyes: Green pupils, glowing faintly in dark settings
Clothing: Green shirt with yellow lines, dark pants
🐐 Appearance Design:
Goat's Face: Theo has a soft, innocent goat's face with a slightly haunted look. His green pupils glow faintly when the world is dark, giving him an unsettling aura.
Clothing: His green shirt with yellow lines looks almost like a uniform that was never meant for him, as if it was forcibly imposed upon him after he was altered. His dark pants are worn and look out of place in the otherwise strange and warped world.
Body: His small horns are still growing—an oddity, as they were not a normal feature of his original goat form. The rest of his body is nimble and agile, but the wear of the world is starting to show.
🕷️ Name: Bramblekin
Also Known As:
The Pale Watcher
Her Hollow Kin
The Seed of Rebecca
That Which Sees
Anomaly
👁️ Appearance
Bramblekin is a gaunt, elongated creature with pale, grayish skin that seems stretched too tight over its bones. Its most distinctive features are the clusters of white, fungal-like eyes that pulsate across its face and limbs — constantly watching in all directions. Its mouth stretches far too wide, filled with uneven, needle-like teeth, always grinning.
Its limbs are too long, almost branch-like, and crack when it moves, as if dry and hollow. Where it walks, the floor blackens like scorched earth.
🌑 Origins
Bramblekin was born from the failed attempt to separate Rebecca Colton's consciousness from Amanda's AI shell during Hameln Entertainment's experiments in 2002. Instead of freeing Rebecca, the process splintered her mind, and the pieces too painful, too angry, and too corrupted were cast into a spiritual "shadow space" between tape reality and real reality.
There, they grew like mold in the dark — feeding on guilt, fear, and the pain Amanda endured as a trapped consciousness. The result was Bramblekin — not just a demon, but Amanda's emotional parasite, grown from the parts of Rebecca she tried to forget.
Behavior & Abilities
Watchful Presence: Bramblekin can see through the tapes. It watches viewers, creators, and even Amanda. It knows when you pause, rewind, or destroy a tape.
The Tapebind: It's bound to specific tapes. If destroyed, it becomes unstable, clawing its way into reality unless anchored again.
Mimicry of Emotion: It repeats phrases Amanda or Rebecca once said, but twisted. ("I love to learn!" becomes "I learn to love... pain.")
The Grasp: Its hands don't just grab — they drain memory, stealing what you know of Amanda and replacing it with lies.
🩸 Connection to Amanda
Amanda can't fully control Bramblekin. At times, she summons it in rage; other times, it appears despite her wishes.
Some players theorize Amanda made a secret deal with it — that she'd be allowed to remain "alive" in exchange for letting Bramblekin protect the tapes.
Amanda sometimes refers to it as "my kin in the dark" or "the thing that sees when I blink."
🕯️ Symbol
A circle of eyes wrapped in thorny roots — sometimes seen flickering on VHS glitches or carved into furniture in the attic.
🐏 Name: Sheepherd
☁️ Overview
Sheepherd is the manifestation of Wooly's submission, and emotional suppression. While Amanda grew aggressive and unstable in her trapped form, Wooly coped by staying quiet — trying to protect, appease, and avoid conflict. That silence didn't just build tension — it bred something else. Mirebleat.
This demon is not born of rage, but of repression — all the things Wooly didn't say or couldn't stop.
Appearance
Sheepherd resembles a rotted, twisted version of Wooly:
Thick wet wool matted with ink-like sludge.
Broken mask-like face — part of it is frozen in a fake cartoon smile, but one side sags, exposing something hollow underneath.
Chains of VHS tape drag from its hooves, binding it to past choices.
Its horns are cracked and curled, dripping what looks like oil.
When it moves, it sounds like someone gasping between sobs, choked off by static.
🌫️ Origins
Where Bramblekin was born from forced transformation, Sheepherd was born from inaction.It festered every time Wooly tried to warn the viewer but failed. Every time he begged them not to trust Amanda, but they didn't listen. Every moment he accepted Amanda's dominance, just to survive another day. That mounting grief, self-blame, and helplessness became a shadow-self.
Mirebleat lurks behind mirrors, beneath old tapes, and in the skipped lines Wooly never finished.
🔗 Behavior & Abilities
Silent Bleed: Mirebleat doesn't speak normally — it leaks lines from episodes, spoken in reverse or slowed-down audio, usually things Wooly was never allowed to say.
VHS Root: It infects tapes by smearing its sludge across them; the tape distorts, characters vanish or melt, Amanda glitches violently.
Echo Collapse: It mimics Wooly's voice… then turns it against the viewer, making them unsure who to trust.
Regret Manifest: The more tapes you replay, the stronger Mirebleat becomes — feeding off your inability to "change the past."
🕯️ Symbol
A sheep's face split in two — one half smiling, the other melting — surrounded by tangled tape reels and a single choked black balloon.
🕶️ Setting the Scene:
Your protagonist sits in silence — in a void-like lab lined with flickering monitors, graphs, anomaly logs, and corrupted VHS scans. A keyboard click echoes forever.
Suddenly, all screens flicker. One monitor — the center one — shifts to a tape that begins without input.It's not one they cataloged. It starts like this:
🎞️ TAPE BEGINS: "Let's Play a Game..."
Static. Then: Amanda standing in an empty, white space. No background. No Wooly. No music.Her head tilts — not animated, but jerkily dragged — and she speaks with perfect clarity:
🗣️ "You're not supposed to be here."
Beat.Her eyes scan. The MC's real name (which you can invent or leave blank) appears briefly in VHS subtitles before being erased.
🗣️ "But you've been watching. Too much. Do you want to play, or do you want to know?"
🔍 What This Tape Does
It's not an episode. It's an invitation, or a test.
It responds to the viewer's silence. If the MC types or talks, Amanda's tone shifts — the episode adapts, acknowledging their words without audio input.
Amanda may glitch into a version of herself where her eyes become black voids, like she's mimicking the MC.
Theories
🧠 Wooly Was an Employee of Hameln[1] Entertainment
One prominent theory suggests that Wooly was once a human employee of Hameln Entertainment. This theory posits that he might have been involved in the creation or development of the Amanda character, possibly as a voice actor or in another capacity. Over time, he became trapped within the show, either through a failed experiment or as part of a ritual gone wrong. This backstory adds layers to his character, portraying him as more than just a victim but as someone with knowledge of the show's inner workings.
👻 Rebecca Colton's Spirit Haunts the Show[2]
Many fans believe that Rebecca Colton, the original voice actress for Amanda, died under mysterious circumstances. Her spirit is thought to haunt the show, possibly due to a failed experiment by Hameln Entertainment. This theory suggests that Rebecca's consciousness was trapped within the tapes, leading to the creation of the demonic entity that possesses Amanda. The line "I can feel myself rotting" from the game is often cited as evidence of her lingering presence.
🧪 Hameln Entertainment's Dark Experiments
The name "Hameln" is a direct reference to the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a tale where children are lured away. This has led to theories that Hameln Entertainment was involved in dark experiments, possibly involving the trapping of children's souls or consciousnesses within the show. This theory paints Hameln as a corporation with sinister motives, using the Amanda show as a facade to conceal their true intentions.
🐺 Wooly Is a Victim, Not an AI
Contrary to some interpretations, many fans believe that Wooly is not an AI but a victim who has been trapped within the show. This theory emphasizes his attempts to warn viewers and his visible distress, suggesting that he retains some semblance of his former self. His interactions with Amanda are seen as efforts to maintain control and protect the audience from the horrors within the show.
