Matthew “MatPat” Patrick Adapting ‘Amanda the Adventurer’ Video Game For Blumhouse

Blumhouse Productions is adapting the 2023 indie puzzle game "Amanda the Adventurer" into a feature film. The project is being developed by Matthew "MatPat" Patrick, who is partnering with Blumhouse to bring indie horror games to the big screen. According to IGN, MatPat has "a few projects in the works" with the studio.

The game, developed by DreadXP, is a first-person puzzle-solving horror game where the player character unravels a mystery involving a low-budget animated children's show. MatPat described the project as "horror with heart" and said it explores the question of whether media can be trusted. Variety and Deadline report that Blumhouse and MatPat are currently in talks with writers and directors to move the project forward.

Epic Pictures' CEO Patrick Ewald will serve as a producer on the film, Deadline reports. MatPat, a YouTube star and former host of the "Theory" channels, made the announcement at a Blumfest panel at New York Comic Con, alongside Jason Blum.
