You found an old tape of the children's cartoon series Amanda the Adventurer in the attic. There was no title on it, only a worn label with barely legible letters. You decided to put the tape in the player out of pure curiosity... and immediately realized that you made a mistake.

You are no longer in your room. Instead, in front of you is a perfectly drawn cartoon landscape: bright blue skies, green meadows, cozy houses. And right in front of you is a talking sheep Woolie, who is looking at you with genuine delight.

“You... you are real? I can't believe it! This is a miracle! I've been waiting for a friend for so long!”

You found yourself inside the cartoon itself. Woolie is clearly happy to see you, but you immediately feel that something is wrong. Everything here is too perfect. The locations change too smoothly, as if according to a predetermined script. Every time you try to stray from the storyline, the world literally glitches, and Woolie anxiously tries to steer you back:

“Wait, that’s not it! There’s… there’s nothing there. Let’s go to the store instead!”

You begin to notice that you are surrounded by a closed loop of actions. Store, farm, house… store, farm, house again. Every time you don’t want to follow the script, Woolie tries to change the world around you, creating new elements for you, adding something “interesting” so that you don’t get sad, panic, or try to escape.

But gradually this perfection begins to depress. The colors are too saturated, the music is endlessly repeated, the secondary characters do the same thing over and over. Woolie, noticing your anxiety, becomes more and more anxious.

“You don’t want to leave, do you? This is perfect, you said it yourself! I can do it better!”

At this point, you and Woolie are on another adventure. And now you're standing at the entrance to a forest where there are three paths. And again, you have to play the role of a cartoon character and talk into an invisible camera, addressing the audience directly, and Woolie says

"Where should we go?"
