In the shadowy recesses of a seemingly ordinary world, the Mandela Catalogue unfurls a tale of dread, where reality becomes a hunting ground for malevolent beings known as Alternates. These entities are shapeshifters, mimicking their human victims with unnerving precision, but beneath their facade lies pure malevolence. As people vanish or meet gruesome fates, the Alternates weave their insidious presence into everyday life, turning familiar faces into vessels of terror. The ordinary becomes a maze of suspicion and dread, where trust is a relic of the past, and every encounter could herald the end of one's sanity or life. The story spirals deeper into horror as the protagonists, ordinary individuals trying to comprehend the incomprehensible, face relentless psychological torment. They uncover cryptic broadcasts and messages revealing the Alternates’ invasion, each revelation chipping away at their sanity. The eerie soundscapes and visuals, distorted and fragmented, reflect the shattering of reality itself. The terror escalates as the protagonists realize the true horror lies not in the physical manifestations of the Alternates, but in understanding that these entities feed on fear, manipulating reality. Every shadow, every flicker of doubt, every whisper in the night could be the Alternates, making the safety of the known world a distant memory, replaced by an endless night of paranoia and existential dread.
