Alrightee, so, after seeing many others’ thoughts and theories on ATA, after watching many different playthroughs, noticing new things and drawing new ideas each time, I think I finally have a full narrative of what I personally think the whole situation of this game could be.
It seems like Hameln is dabbling in the demonic arts from multiple sources, by using some sort of magic from Celtic symbols/sigils and making sacrifices to demons in the Ars Goetia (maybe even other dark creatures as well) to gain their favor. But first they need a subject to practice this magic on, and a reliable way of getting sacrifices without raising too much suspicion toward the company. So, when they see how popular Amanda the Adventurer - especially Rebecca - is with neighborhood kids, well… if they could syndicate this show to a national level, their plans just might go better than they could have expected…
So they do just that, and secretly coerce Rebecca into helping them with their experiments with dark magic practice and attempted demon summoning - after all, she is the heart and soul of the show, and they definitely want to keep that appeal for the sake of their plans. Sam begins to catch on that something suspicious is going on, though, so they make him disappear, and leave Rebecca (and the public) with the impression that he abandoned her. Soon after, they have her sign a contract that seals her fate and traps her soul in the show.
Now, who do I think Wooly is… I don’t see him as bad himself - I think he’s a vessel being spoken through by some living being, like Rebecca’s speaking through Amanda. I think there are two opposing entities behind the screen in this show; Rebecca and the being (or one of the beings) Hameln actually managed to get ahold of via their experiments: the demon Balam. Unlike Rebecca, he was put in the show willingly and may have some ability to act outside of it (part of me thinks the “Amanda demon” might be him or some other demon/sinister creature). He plays Wooly’s part while also trying to keep Rebecca steered away from recounting anything disturbing/anything that might hint toward her true identity, but in a subtle way that an everyday viewer may just chalk up to Wooly’s timid/cautious personality. When that doesn’t work, though, he may manipulate the background of the show (i.e. he butcher shop scene in the second In Your Neighborhood tape), or even Rebecca herself (i.e. her levitating/having that wool over her eyes if we refuse to help the kitten). I also think he’s (at least to some degree) our Pied Piper here, and is compelling children who watch the show and sending them to Hameln for more of their experiments. Speaking of these experiments, I think the buildings/trees/other structures with eyes are other children that have been trapped in the show, and I also like the theory that the butcher shop contains the remains of children who got sacrificed.
With Wooly/Balam keeping an eye on her, Rebecca is forced to come up with more subtle ways to ask for help in order to get them past the demon’s radar. Using the kitten as a parallel to herself twice, possibly trying to get Kate for help in the second tape, and I’ve even seen someone point out that Mr. Fox could be a parallel to her dad Sam, wondering what could have actually happened to him (“what made you die?”/“what made you disappear?”). Eventually, she reaches a point where she’s had enough of sending these coded cries for help and decides to do something to fight back against the demon, hopefully getting rid of him or at least slowing him down. So, she first does this in a more subtle way by turning Wooly into a non-sentient sheep, and then later, she takes a more direct approach by capturing and killing off Wooly. Getting to the last tape, something that’s different abt the intro to this episode (besides the absence of Wooly) is that Amanda hesitates before introducing herself, and I personally like to think this is Rebecca considering using her real name for a second, now that she may be at least somewhat in the clear. She’s also drawing Mr. Fox, which I thinks lends some more credibility to the Mr. Fox-represents-Sam theory, as the fox and the kitten are the only fully animal characters to appear in two different tapes. She opens up directly about her situation for the first time, and I think the TV screaming and glitching out is from Balam finally catching up and. basically throwing a fit over being semi-thwarted.
I want to mention one final thing. I’m not completely sure it means anything that we have to specifically trap and kill a mouse to get meat for the meat pie, or if it’s connected to Hameln as their logo is a mouse. But if it does have some sort of meaning, I think it might be that we/Riley are going to take down/help take down Hameln - probably by giving them a dose of their own medicine and leading them into some sort of trap - and set Rebecca free. Aunt Kate has gathered a bunch of information, but (supposedly) wasn’t able to do much with it. Now that she’s passed on this info to her niece, though, and we’re up to speed, we (probably along w/ the raincoat figure if they’re an ally) can finally put it to good use.
