* The secret yellow tape is a home video showing a pair of parents trying to get their daughter Lauren to leave her room and come downstairs for her surprise birthday party. Lauren seemingly doesn't even hear her mother when she calls out to her; she just keeps staring at the [=TV=], which is currently running an episode of ''Amanda the Adventurer''. The parents remark on how obsessed Lauren has been with the show. After the dad attempts one last time to lure Lauren downstairs with her favorite ice cream, mint chocolate chip, both parents enter the room again to find that Lauren has vanished, seemingly having left the house. As the mom drops the camera to run outside and look for Lauren, we hear Amanda say this:

*** On a related note, It's not just Amanda looking at you. As the tape comes to an end, the sheep in the pen with Wooly slowly turn and look up towards the screen as well. Neither the Lonely Kitten nor Wooly do this, which implies the three sheep may be more than they appear...

** "Some Mommies eat their babies! Yum Yum!" Since Sam is never shown to have a wife and mentions Rebecca went through a lot before he adopted her, it begs the question of exactly what experiences Amanda/Rebecca has had with a Mom to have that kind of reaction.
** Also, as she says that, the mother hen eats one of the chicks. There's no gore, and the chick is swallowed whole, but it's still disturbing.

* In one of the secret tapes, ''someone'' is recording audio of Rebecca (Amanda's voice actor) reciting lines while her father Sam expresses increasing discomfort. However, when Rebecca continues without input she tells them both that there's a 'man in the headphones' telling her what to do. It's clear from both her father and the executive's reactions that there ''shouldn't'' be a voice in her headphones feeding her lines...

Then the [=TV=] starts going crazy, flipping between random footage from the show and what appears to be a human trying to claw through the screen. The only way to get it to stop is to destroy is by throwing a brick at it.

** Wooly slowly regressing into a regular sheep is both heartbreaking and terrifying. It starts with him doing one harmless bleat at the start of the episode, then gets worse as Amanda forbids him to talk because it's not something animals do, after which he actually loses the ability to speak and can only make scared bleats. When Amanda proposes (reads: orders) that they visit the sheep enclosure, Wooly looks horrified and tries to get Riley to stop what's going on. When Riley is inevitably forced to do what Amanda wants, the next time we see Wooly is as a fully converted sheep, happily bleating away on a meadow with no memory of who he was or what happened to him.
** The Lonely Kitten scenario, no matter how you answer. If you refuse to help the Lonely Kitten, Amanda breaks downliterally and metaphorically, repeatedly begging you to help the Lonely Kitten while her surroundings and body distort and twist to an extremely disturbing degree. If you do agree to help the Lonely Kitten, Amanda just stares at you, then starts breaking out into a SlasherSmile.

* Amanda, full-stop. Her responses to you if you get her questions wrong start off passive-aggressive, then it turns to frustration, then:by the third episode, she's gone completely mad.
* The treasure hunt tape has Amanda pull out three items to use, two of which they used already. The items are a crowbar, a rope forming a noose, and a shovel. None of these are particularly comforting to see, given [[OffscreenVillainy the implied context]], and Amanda even says they used the crowbar to "open a door" and that they "need to dig up the treasure before someone-" only to be cut off by Wooly, who GrewASpine and urges the player to take the tapes out and burn them. The tape ends with Amanda warping into some horrific shape behind Wooly, who lets out one final distorted bleat as she does who knows what to him.
* Even before it turns creepy, the treasure hunt tape just feels off. Wooly is clearly out of it, trailing off as if he's forgetting his lines. Amanda, meanwhile, now has the animation quality of an SFM model getting its mouth flapped up and down. The StylisticSuck here makes her look downright jarring next to the better animated Wooly, and it gives off the impression of GlamourFailure.
* Through [[GameMod Modding]], you can [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lo7HvmHBFs explore the room you watch the tapes from]]. The model for Amanda's true form is stored '''''[[ParanoiaFuel right behind you]] the whole game'''''.
