*{{Moe}}: [[spoiler:Rebecca Colton, Amanda's voice actor, is described to have various traits that encapsulate this. She is a joyous little girl said to find adventure even in her backyard, despite the hard life she had prior to being adopted, and her performances in Sam's original show were often described to be outright adorable. What eventually became of her thanks to Hameln adds onto this significantly.]]

** [[spoiler:The static silhouette Amanda leaves behind is creepy... until you realize how eerily similar it looks to WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. Some players have taken it further and tried typing Mickey's name in the following textbox. Without giving too much away, they only get as far as "Mick".]]

** In the "In Your Neighborhood" tape in the full game, when Amanda and Wooly are in the bakery, the tape briefly glitches. It's pretty scary, until you notice Amanda looking like she's throwing up.

Sorry, the original itch.io thing was released back in 2022, and Character Perception Evolution requires a waiting period of at least five years.


* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: Wooly got this in between ''Pilot Episode'' and the full game. Fans have always loved Wooly for trying to warn the player about Amanda, and for his general cuteness, and still do. However, as of the release of the full game, for various reasons a very, very large amount of people have begun to suspect Wooly is hiding something. What this "something" is and how bad varies from person to person.

** It is very difficult to not feel bad for poor Wooly, who is [[AloneWithThePsycho trapped in the crazy world contained within the tapes as Amanda's sidekick]] and clearly wants desperately to get away from her. [[spoiler:And, at least so far, it is heavily implied that he never gets the chance to escape her, as he is heavily implied to be butchered by the butcher in the butcher tape and is killed off-screen by Amanda herself in the treasure hunt tape when he finally works up the nerve to defy her and warn the player.]]

** [[spoiler: During the alternate version of "In Your Neighborhood", it becomes clear Amanda doesn't actually have as much control over her powers as she'd like, and has lapses where she genuinely has trouble remembering what she was trying to do if she loses her train of thought. Wooly proceeds to try and rerail the situation and asks for your help to try and help Amanda feel better. Even after it ends in her burning several stores to the ground in frustration, he tries to comfort her on what she did manage to get done, albeit just as terrified as he is concerned.]]
** The origins of Amanda the Adventurer turn out to be this. Before it got turned into a rather UncannyValley cartoon, it was a live action TV show. Sam, the creator, says that he was inspired by how his adopted daughter, Rebecca, saw the world with such kindness and joy despite what she'd been through.
--->'''Sam:''' She's the light of my life.
** Give the doll a matching flower to the one she has and she'll be very surprised and pleased, and give you a surprise in return! [[spoiler: It's one of the secret tapes, not half bad!]]

* FriendlyFandoms: Unexpectedly has one with ''Anime/PopeeThePerformer''. This appears to be because of how both center around a psychotic human main protagonist from a "children's series", that regularly tortures their "friend", a timid, anthropromorphic animal.

* [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct She Really Can Act]]: All the voice actors / live action actors do a great job, but special mention goes to Blair-Osako Greene's work on Amanda and the incredible emotional range that she shows through out the tapes: From cheerful exuberant in the more innocent sounding ones, to the fury she displays in the butcher shop, the sass when either Wooly or the player go against her, or the deadpan haunting brokenness she answers with "will you address the card" or "I'm out there."
