Grey Skies Over Mandela County (GSOMC) is a game based on Alex Kister's YouTube series, The Mandela Catalogue. At full release, the game will feature 4 different levels centered around one person's alternate encounters.

THE WAREHOUSE

You find yourself trapped in an abandoned warehouse while trying to look for supplies. Unbeknownst to you, an alternate lurks within the facility and is searching for a new skin! Armed with only a single flash camera, can you escape with your life?

THE INVASION

After (hopefully) narrowly escaping death, you return to your residency, only to find out that the alternate has followed you home and is hiding somewhere in your house! Get ready for gritty, suspenseful SWAT-simulator type gameplay as you search your house for the invader.

(quick note, the two following levels are still early concepts...)

THE STATION

The attempts to call the police have been futile. After all, the government's ranks have been completely infiltrated by the false god Gabriel's legion.  You find yourself unable to escape the police station, forced to play the alternate's sick game (FNAF-type gameplay, checking cameras and all that jazz). 

(...and finally, the most WIP concept of them all,)

THE LAST STOP

While attempting to escape Mandela County once and for all, the alternate intercepts your attempts at the last bus stop out of Mandela County. Can you escape the clutches of Gabriel one last time and still make the bus?

GAMEPLAY

You will be presented with different situations with different gameplay as described above. Generally, since the alternates do not actually kill people (the people do that themselves), I have decided to add MAD (Metaphysical Awareness Disorder), as a mechanic in the game. It works on a three-strikes-and-you're-out type system, and the further your MAD progresses, the more intense and chaotic the gameplay becomes. Alternate hallucinations that eventually become deadly, text flashing across the screen, and the alternate exponentially increasing in power as you fall to your knees in submission to Gabriel's will, and death by your own hands are all effects of MAD. Other than that, the gameplay will be different depending on which level you are playing.

Enough blabbering, when is it going to be released?

Similar to other titles, I have made the decision to release the game in different 'parts'. This game has been over a year in the making, and I would love for people to finally get something tangible so I can receive feedback as soon as possible.

The Warehouse will be (*FULLY*) released on June 21th, 2023.

And don't worry, development on the next part will begin shortly after the release of this one, but I am going to need some time to collect feedback and take a break after the release. 

(P.S.) There is an alpha version out now!
