Listening to Play My Way for like the millionth time
This song has its CLAWS in me
What kind of interaction do you think these two would have?
And yes I just got into Angel Hare
Don’t know much about EPIC, but Penelope’s part in this song that goes “I will fall in love with you over and over again” reminds me of Homura and Madoka in a way
DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THE VISION

Okay, so this is just me guessing what's gonna happen in the third ATA game based on the stuff we got in ATA 2.
First off: where will the third game take place?
At the end of the true ending, Riley goes down a hatch which leads deeper into the library (idk why a library would need that). My prediction is that whatever place we find ourselves in, it's gonna be more focused on Hameln. I've seen theories that where we're going will lead to something related to Hameln's cult and the rituals and stuff like that. It might be an escape hatch, or it might lead to something else. I think that we might be going to where Kate and her group were talking about the tapes-maybe something like a detective-like area with a billboard with different photos and stuff like that.
Next theory: What will the tapes be about?
To get the true ending, you can't help Amanda and Wooly take down the possum and when that happens, they get REALLY pissed at you. Amanda even says "Why didn't you help us? I TRUSTED you!" which probably means that we've lost both of their trust. When we put in the tape we took with us in whatever TV we can find at where we'll be, Amanda and Wooly will definitely NOT be happy to see us- they'll probably be like "Oh, it's you." in hateful tone or something like that. They'll probably be WAY more impatient at us than before. I think that we'll probably have to try and gain their trust back, maybe by getting things for them, connecting with them in some sort of way, etc.
Next theory: Who on EARTH is Wooly?
This damn sheep has me in a chokehold with the very little amount of lore we get from him specifically. So far, we've gotten some flash frames from him when we type in "horror" in the story tape, and it seems to be a reference to the butcher- with all of the meat imagery. A lot of people think he's Sam, another kid we don't know, an Ai program, a literal sheep who gained sentience, etc. I, for one, think that he's a Hameln employee who was transported to the cartoon world in the same way Rebecca was to monitor her and keep her on track. Think about it. He tries to keep Amanda on track with the show, he tries to make the show seem like a normal kids cartoon and-the most notable- the tapes he's present is has the Hameln logo appear at the end. However, I will say that even though Wooly might most likely be a Hameln employee, he's still suffering like Amanda. For example, as I mentioned, when we type in "horror" in the story tape when Wooly asks us what our favorite kind of story is, we get several flashes of meat which might be flashes of Wooly's trauma and at the end, he starts hyperventilating. I feel like maybe he was a Hameln employee but messed up real bad at one point and as punishment, Hameln gave him the same treatment as Amanda-have him suffer in the tapes. Another thing worth noting is that there's a secret tape in ATA 1 in the files which features Wooly sitting in a room. We see this same room again in the announcement video for the second game, where it seems like he's being held captive, with a chicken holding him at gunpoint and him at the end begging for him to be let go to someone. I think that he's being used to monitor Amanda while also being tortured in some way- it might be like Hameln saying "This is your punishment, but you can still be useful to us" or smth like that. To sum it up, I think he's a Hameln employee who screwed up and as punishment, he got transported to the cartoon world to monitor Rebecca to be useful to Hameln while also suffering with his own problems.
That's it for my bigger theories! Now onto my smaller ones...
First off: the door symbolism. Whenever we see the door (which is probably the portal to the cartoon world like we see in the meat ending in the first game) in Amanda's POV, the entrance is a deep red which might symbolize her thinking of the cartoon world as hell. However, when we see the door from Wooly's POV, the entrance is white; maybe he sees it as heaven, or purgatory, or what it actually is- the portal to the cartoon world? It makes sense because Amanda has the mind of a child, so she wouldn't see the door as what it is, but something much worse and Wooly, who most likely has an older mind, would see it for what it is.
Well, that's it for my theories so far! I'll most likely make more of these posts.
what are your thoughts on Joanne as a Character along with Kate! They don’t get talked about enough :(
I LOVE the way they write Joanne in ATA 2! Although, it’s pretty unfortunate how they killed her off so quickly and we didn’t get much of her in the game in my opinion.
The idea of her wanting to get her brother Jordan back is already a cool idea for her character, but the way they build upon that is VERY interesting. She admitted that she took advantage of Riley’s trust to find the tapes in hopes of freeing Jordan, and even if that seems very selfish of her, that’s also very human of her. Imagine this: you’re desperate to free your brother from the hellish world he’s been trapped in that you’ll do whatever it takes to be with him again, even if it means taking advantage of others. I like how she admits her selfishness, too.
I also love how she was so desperate to free her brother that she instantly took advice from someone she didn’t even know on how to free him, only to realize that it was someone from the same company that took your brother hostage. It just makes her character all the more tragic.
As for Kate, there’s not much I can say for her, since we don’t really get a lot of her. For example, in the first game, she was just used as a reason as to why the game’s main story is even happening. But in the second game, they build up on her character more.
The context we get from her investigating the tape shows how determined she is to bring Hameln down and set Rebecca and the other kids free. If she was THIS determined to try to set Rebecca free for more that 15 YEARS, that has to mean that her and Rebecca must have been very close. Kate might’ve been like a mother figure to Rebecca.
And don’t get me STARTED on the cassette tape. All of that determination and confidence that we’ve seen from her throughout the game is replaced with pure hopelessness and despair. She’s completely lost hope in freeing Rebecca and defeating Hameln. It’s so sad seeing a person who wanted to free a kids soul who she knew free completely give up and fall into despair.
Anyway, that’s all I got. Thanks for asking!!
Thank you so much!!
More art from my sketchbook! Took a crack at trying to draw Kate and made a human design for Wooly! Also drew a small request from @amandafan with Wooly hugging the lonely kitten
