Hey, A-fan-das!

Thanks so much for your patience while the MANGLEDmaw team continues to work on improvements to Amanda the Adventurer 2.

This major update includes a major overhaul of the first puzzle in the game (the library database), fixing the Wooly tape disappearing, adding a skip cutscene option for the intro, and other critical bug fixes that make that pesky Pop-Up Book puzzle less of an issue. Let's dive into it!


MANGLEDmaw and DreadXP have heard the criticisms of the game's first puzzle loud and clear. It became clear that library database puzzle at the start of the game wasn't giving all players a positive experience and didn't reflect the team's intended experience as designed.

The puzzle has been significantly modified to give players a much better experience when starting Amanda the Adventurer 2. The path to solving the puzzle is now much smoother (and shorter) so everyone can start watching the first tape that much faster :)

Please note that this does change the solution of the puzzle as well, the code is not the same as before.


Just in case there's anyone who wants to be able to play the original version of the first puzzle of ATA2, we've created a separate branch on steam for anyone to access!

You can access the separate branch on steam by right clicking on the game in your steam library, and selecting "Properties...".

This will open a new window. On the left side, click on the "Betas" tab.

Enter the beta access code puzzle1classic into the text field, press the "Check Code" button on the right side, then press the large blue button that will appear if you've entered the code correctly.

This will give you access to version 1.0.4c, the last version before the Library Database Puzzle was changed.

You can see which beta branch (if any) you are on in the top right corner. Clicking on that dropdown will give you the option to set "Beta Participation" back to "None" so you can play the latest version of the game.


The ability to press and hold any key to skip the intro cutscene has been added to speed up repeat playthroughs!

The team also squashed a bunch of pesky bugs! Read the list below for the full patch notes of version 1.0.5e.

• Updated Library Database Puzzle clues and solution.
  
• Skip Intro Cutscenes option was added by holding any button.
  
• Removed labels from library bookshelves.
  
• Updated Wendy Wyrm's text to reflect changes in the first puzzle

• Fixed an issue that was breaking the animation of a certain character.
  
• Fixed the "What are you afraid of" text prompts.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player could get the microfiche key before starting the puzzle.
  
• Fixed an issue allowing players to offer up any items to Amanda during the nightlight sequence.
  
• Fixed an issue that was duplicating a certain tape.
  
• Fixed multiple typos and missing subtitles.
  
• Fixed an issue that was causing Wendy Wyrm's text to overlap the user profile picture.
  
• Fixed an issue causing the barcode secret tape to not scan.
  
• Fixed the possibility of accepting blank input for some prompts.
  
• Fixed Ep 8 "What's something that scares you?" video loop time.
