| “ | Follow us to fun! | „ |
| ~ Hameln's slogan. |
| “ | Got to be Hameln for the [distortion] toy makers. Got to be Hameln. You can follow us to fun! | „ |
| ~ What appears to be the commercial jingle for Hameln, heard after inputting a specific set of numbers into the Blabbot. |
| “ | Who among us has not been told that in the beginning, there was light, pure truth, and that this was the original gift of God. That over the millennia, we have tarnished this gift by introducing darkness and concealment. This, my brothers, my sisters, is a lie. Darkness is not the covering of truth. It's our very origin. We are born of concealment. We are born of darkness. We are born of nothingness. Before our birth, there was the Great Nil. This is our truth. This is our gift. Over the centuries, those who see the truth have nurtured this darkness, nourishing it until a time when it can subjugate the light and those who foolishly worship it. This time has come. And it is the children, born out of nothingness as we all are, the children who remain innocent witnesses, who will deliver our ultimate gift of darkness to the world. The child's imagination, unspoiled by truth, can plant the seed of the impossible. And that seed's roots will take hold in the soil of reality, untethered by its limitations. But our children need guidance. And so, we shall guide them. Darkening the road ahead of them, so they can escape the rigid path of the light and take us all into the valley so that we may return to our unchained darkness. What is not, will be. And we shall rejoice. | „ |
| ~ A sermon of the Hameln cult |
Hameln Entertainment are the overarching antagonists of the Amanda the Adventurer trilogy.
On the surface, Hameln is an entertainment company that helped Sam Colton promote his series, Amanda the Adventurer, approaching him when his original series, a live-action show starring his daughter, became unexpectedly popular, and proposing to make an animated version of it.
However, several VHS tapes in the game reveal the company to be highly corrupt satanists, having done numerous tests on Sam's daughter Rebecca including a few tests that seem to have her recite satanic rituals, much to the concern of Sam. They had presumably done the same to many other children, turning into the other characters that appear in the show.
Amanda the Adventurer 2 reveals that the group is the latest iteration of a cult that has been practicing an obscure religion since the Middle Ages.
Biography[]
Not much is known about the formation of Hameln Entertainment, however, according to Kate Park and her friends, the cult behind the group is an recent offshoot of a nebulous cult from the Middle Ages that has been tracked through generations. This cult, from what can be gathered in the trilogy, was secular organization that believes in “the great Nil” a world of pure nothingness that was originally their world before “light” chained people from realizing their full potential, and believed that children can be able to alter the world and bein* back the darkness and unchain them from the light.
This cult later rebranded under Hameln Entertainment, which got its start and public light from creating toys such as Blabbot. In the 2000s, Hameln approached Sam Colton, the creator of the Amanda The Adventurer public access show and offered to purchase the rights to the show and turn it into an animated series to syndicate worldwide and make his daughter, Rebecca Colton, a star. However, Hameln secretly made Rebecca into their test subject, tricking her into signing her rights away before kidnapping and holding Sam hostage to forcibly give up his rights and making Hameln take guardianship of Rebecca. Rebecca was placed into stasis where she was implanted into the show as Amanda, hiring Marcus Moutman to also be placed in stasis as he is interpreted as Wooly, Amanda’s sidekick to keep Rebecca in line. Sam attempted to escape and rescue his daughter, but was attacked and killed by the Colton Anomoly, who was formed in Rebecca’s mind and manifested to protect her.
The show was used to brainwash several kids and lure them to Hameln where they were placed in states and on the show for further testing, with eight children trapped, including Jordan Cook who eventually became Chicken Scratch, while Hameln continued to deny any accusations levied against them. When Kate Parker and her various friends started investigating, Hameln implicated killed Kate’s friends using either The Colton Anamoly or the Shepard, with Kate bequeathing the tapes to her nibling Riley before dying in a car crash.
Nothing is known about Hameln’s state after the events of the story, besides the fact that at some point before the third game, the company abandoned the entire office, leaving Rebecca and the children (as well as Marcus’ rotting corpse) as well. The fates of the employees and management are unknown, presumably getting away with their actions or possibly being killed by either anomaly if they attempted to destroy the tapes. On the other hand, now that Rebecca is freed, there's evidence against Hameln's corruption, so its shutdown and destruction is pretty much unavoidable, with all the management getting arrested too.

Trivia[]
- Fans have speculated that the company is likely an allusion to the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. In the story, the Piper is ordered to take a swarm of rats out of the German town of Hamelin, to which afterward he takes the town's children with him when the civilians refuse to pay him as they promised. This seems to be evidenced by the company's logo being a mouse-like rodent, its slogan "Follow us to fun!", and the company's name being one letter short of the town Hamelin, as well as the fact that the company was seemingly the root cause of all the missing children, luring them with their programs.
- The notes that make up Hameln's theme song spell out "FACADE", alluding to how the group tries to give off the appearance of an ordinary production company, despite their ulterior motives.
