Btw if someone seems to be in trouble outside while you're inside alone DO NOT open the door, especially if something seems off. Call the police/ambulance but don't go yourself. People would pretend to be injured, play records of screams or crying babies etc just to get to you. It's not a crime and no authority would tell you to go out for a closer look. This is how people get robbed, killed or kidnapped.
@@lilacpen8678 it’s a part of the Mandela catalogue. Emergency services are not allowed to help those who call them in cases where alternates are involved.
@@d.altounian244 there's a string of confusion here, the OP comment is saying irl you shouldn't open the door in these situations anyway and then Samurai talks about the game again and the guy you replied to is confused because thinks Samurai is talking about where he lives
I like this game because it feels like a test set up by alternates (Mandela catalog TM) to better hone their appearances, especially the section with the child slowly shifting to become “normal”
They did mention a county in that "ad video" about the park (not that Mandela is the only county in whichever country we're talking about but still) so there's something at play here.
if this is the case then wouldn't the good ending be to get everything wrong? because if this was a test made by alternates to better hone their appearances, getting all of the answers wrong could trick them into thinking that looking super abnormal is trustworthy, which would make the alternates easier to spot. however, this theory doesn't explain the warning at the end of the test about if you get your letter early, so idk.
I'm honestly super happy people have clarified that not helping someone who "looks to be injured" is okay. Because there are people who will fake an injury to kidnap others; please stay safe, always keep your doors locked, and call the proper people to take care of the situation. Sometimes the best kind of help is to call someone else.
Yes there is a charge for fail to render aid but just calling 911 for help for that person and you’re all good, and most of the time dispatchers are not police and do no know the law
When you get to the title screen and wait, the game asks "what are you waiting for?" It also moves your cursor towards the start button. Just fun fact :)
I liked this comment but then I realized it was at 666 likes before I liked it so I decided to unlike it, but just know that I would have liked it had it not been at 666.
I'd say she was just a normal human who got things wrong, maybe she was a mother herself so it had impact on her caring more about child's wellbeing than caller's?
I think it’s just protocol “Do not help a caller reporting an alternate encounter. No matter how frantic their screams are. Calmly reassure the caller that help is on the way. The call can be ended when they stop responding to your questions” and so on
@@evphoricmoon I feel like after hearing "the kid has blood on him" and "the kid isnt hurt" you would ask if the kid is holding a weapon before jumping to the conclusion the kid is *pale* and needs to be *let inside*
@@zanderlucioperca in the other games, cops lead you to your death. like in one of the earlier ones it the cop says open the door lay on the floor and play dead.
"You know, refusal to cooperate is a crime, son." Well, you're trying to send me out to the strange creature that's possibly harassing me, that's covered in blood and doesn't look injured, at a time when I'm feeling threatened. I'm pretty okay with crime, all of a sudden.
Yknow some part of me really doubts that they’d get in trouble for that? Like some part of that just rubs me as manipulation. I dont know if a citizen refusing to cooperate in a situation where they’re not committing illegal act would be an offense; like what, can a police officer tell someone to get out of their seat and then arrest them if they dont move? My bet is that the officer is a replicant himself and knows that boy is another replicant, and intimidated that clerk to open the door.
For the record, the third ending is getting all the answers wrong. Specifically wrong, with the same determination as getting them all right. The third ending is getting a mix of answers. Mark got 2/3 of the endings: mixed answers, and correct answers. I would love to hear his thoughts on the incorrect answers ending. It could get him thinking and I love hearing his takes
Nah the person sounds too normal. Alternates cannot mimic voice anywhere near perfectly. Plus cops are taught to let the people get killed by alternates as to not put themselves at risk
i think this is one of the 'theories' that makes the most sense honestly. the primary thing alternates are trying to figure out/do is how to fit into society and trick the normal person into thinking they're one of them for whatever reason tbh
@@ev9757 yeah, also i find the "you will join our expanding family" thing with their faces blacked out extremely suspicious, like they're gathering information on what to do and what not to do.
i think this also explains the police dispatcher, who I'm pretty sure was an alternate. He made up some rule about it being illegal to not cooperate and made the guy feel bad so he would go out and be killed. If he were a real police officer, he would've heard the call and most likely known it was an alternate, assuming the police have training similar to Maple County or whatever. So for him to knowingly send a man to his death in my mind can mean only one thing. I also have the theory that the alternates hijacked the assessment. They want you to destroy the real letter, which would arrive in March, and come out of your house when the fake letter arrives in April. That makes you an easy target. The fact that you aren't reaching out to family or police for help makes it even easier, no one will even know you're gone for a while.
About the dispatcher and the night shift worker, if you look at the other Mandela Catalogue videos, there's a running theme, or at least some scenes where if someone calls to report alternate things, the dispatcher is just supposed to do nothing and distract them till the alternate get to em. I don't remember which video exactly, but it's one of them. There is no safety. The law enforcement is trained to let the callers die. The Mandela Catalogue universe is brutal
The government knows that alternates are too dangerous to be stopped. Trying to intervene will just get more people killed. Also, the scene you're talking about is in "The Mandela Catalogue - Vol. 1" where the police training video says: "If a caller reports an alternate encounter, do not help them. Calmly reassure the caller that help is on the way. When the caller stops answering your questions, you can hang up the call. Do not talk too much. You may reveal your fear." I may have missed a sentence or two, but that's what I remember of it.
As far as I know, the law enforcement are just supposed to let the callers die because they might accidentally reveal their 'fear' to the alternates, the tv kidnapper, and/or the fake god (the devil). Doing so will get them killed.
I definitely get the feeling this test was made by alternates as a way to better perfect their human-looking form. So if that's the case, getting all the answers "wrong" might actually be right, as opposed to how Mark was trying to play.
Quick reminder to everyone: replying to or mentioning a bot that shows up in the replies section of a comment causes it to register as “engagement” which causes the bots to continue appearing since it attracts views and therefore revenue. DO NOT mention, reply to, or engage with any comment bots unless you want to see them continue to pop-up in the comment section. They are designed to catch your attention and make you angry, because it makes the bot channel money when you fall for it.
The best thing to do is report the fuckers and the channel without engaging. If they say something nasty or whip out the antisemitism you can report them for harrassment or hate speech to get it looked at sooner.
this stuff is honestly the scariest thing to me. like the fact that it just *feels real*. Like this might be an actual thing, it's so terrifying. the uncanny valley with the faces that are slightly off. things pretending to be human. It's horrifying but at the same time it's so cool.
@@StitchdTeeth fun fact about the "looks human but isn't " thing and how we evolved to know it's rabies its 100% fatal and would cause others to act/look not right so the uncanny Valley is a rabies detection system
@@StitchdTeeth Sick (and especially dead) people look off. Corpses that have begun to rot are going to look especially off, which is likely where the uncanny-valley horror thing came from. Humans (and probably most animals tbh) are trained to spot disease and weakness. Also don't forget, there were other species of humans before and along with us Homo Sapiens, so I imagine that was also at least part of it, as they looked somewhat different to us
Pro tip for indie devs: if you're gonna make a game with multiple endings that would encourage people to play through multiple times, please let players skip through lengthy non-gameplay sections.
@@Vase94 a lot of times non gameplay sections are what hold a lot of the changes in certain routes. If devs want to add that that means that they can’t put anything inportant in those sections because they just let the players skip through it
@@Quatro921 I think that the kind of way that they are saying is to allow players who have seen one scene to skip that scene if it ever shows up again. That way, if there is a change in the scene, you cannot skip and will have to watch though it at least once to do so.
one interesting thing to note: In the final regards of the tape, it states that, if you are accepted, you will receive a letter on the month of April, and that if you receive it prior to april, to regard it as a threat. Before that, in the "false" ending, it states the letter will arrive on the month of March, which is the month before april.
ive been too conditioned to count bleeps as curses so each time it says "you've been accepted into *********** ******" i hear "you've been accepted into FUCK HOLE"
FYI: While refusing to help is not necessarily looked well upon, if you do believe that helping will cause you harm it is totally ok to say no! Ie if the person is very drunk and you are worried they might hurt you, you don't have to help!! I just wanted y'all to know!! Stay safe!
More likely is that you will find someone in a high-risk situation, like a car crash or being pinned under a heavy object. Also certain injuries like head or spine injuries could be made worse by untrained persons. So often you will be unable to help.
I second this! I am an EMT and during our training, we are taught to not try and help unless we know for sure an area is safe for us to be in. So for example, if there is a shooting going on or a fire, we have to wait for law enforcement/fire fighters to make the area safe before we can help. For civilians, no one is going to get in legal trouble for not helping. Especially if you are afraid for your safety!
Learned from a Lawyer channel it very much depends on where you live. Some countries actually have a legal requirement that if you see someone who needs help, you have to help them. But others [like the US] while it's frowned upon to ignore someone who might need help, it is not legally binding that you assist.
@@Crow_Smith the only down side to that is I know police officers in most places don't legally have to help you either, which boggles my mind. Though on the flip side many places have good Samaritan laws and if you choose to help someone you won't get in any legal ramifications(unless your getting in the way). Though both of those differ from state to state I believe, so I'd try to learn what the laws are regarding that.
I agree. If the area is unsafe, you can't help anyone if you end up hurt as well. You're likely to do more harm then good if it's a dangerous situation so unless you can guarantee your own safety before you help, call authorities, stay away and observe.
upon taking the test and answering all the trust/threat questions incorrectly (trusting alternates, viewing humans as threats) i found a new ending. the robotic narrator read out the part of little red riding hood where she approaches her grandmother's bed and remarks on how strange she looks. the story cuts off and the image (of the park) turns upside down, the narrator's voice deepening, after she remarks on what a large, terrible mouth her grandmother has. after, the text on the screen goes on in the same style as other endings, this time apologizing to Avram, and referencing, capitalized, Him. i know the mandela catalogue is rooted in christian stories, so maybe someone with more biblical knowledge could decipher the endings. edited because i found out his name was Avram, not Akram.
in like 2024 let's say mandela catalogue is complete, and now we just need to solve it, what would we come to? would it be certain it's the devil and not god? is there 2 gods? is there only ONE god but is actually an eldritch horror entity that destroys entire universes and makes any living thing suffer for eternity? or the first one and the devil DEFEATED god in a way, so now everything is doomed?
@@doodlebro. Dude, you're digging a little too deep for your own good. Bringing eldritch (cosmic) horror to the table doesn't even make sense if you consider the sole purpose of cosmic horror and how H.P. created it.

@@walter4708 the narrator tells the story of little red riding hood when she seen the wolf grandma. It cuts to something I forget then ends with the wolf eating her.
little theory: the first time around, the guy we hear during the blackened out missing poster part is probably the guy who saw the ‘kid’ with the blood on him, and bc mark trusted the kid and opened the door (which obviously led to the guy’s death) that the reason why it says “it was already too late” at the end of the phone call, bc right after that, the guy saw the ‘kid’ and opened the door. that was probably obvious to everyone but oh well
the newspaper said “F____ E_____” and the guys name was ferdinand estranda or something, i cant remember, but it confirms that he died edit: francisco estrada
thing is, in marks last run, mark didnt trust the kid and still got that ending. I think that ending is based on the personality quiz, because it prints out the same sequence of letters/numbers if you click on them

just for what it's worth, here in the US, it is not illegal to not interfere in a situation like that, and the dispatcher that answers emergency calls has no authority. if you find yourself in a situation like that, just know it isn't a crime to not intervene/interact.
At 12:24 you can see 5 censored faces and a rectangle in the middle. This rectangle has the color of the hexadecimal 8e2a14 (with the vhs filter applied). I have no idea what this means, just thought I'd point it out.
@@BlackRavenFeather565 This was a long time ago but at 2:47 and 9:16 it says 8e2a14 and I know what hexadecimals look like so I looked it up and it had the same shade as the rectangle at 0:33.
Refusal to cooperate is NOT a crime, even more so if you don't have first aid training. You can easily make things worse or put yourself in danger (especially when blood is involved). Calling for emergency services is often the best thing to do.
The 911 operator (or whatever they're called) was probably an alternate or whatever. Since the end of the exam warns against contacting police we know the things have infiltrated emergency services.
@@mrcephalopod in Mandela catalog its said that you aren't supposed to dispatch units even if you say you are, in case there's an actual alternate at the scene so they don't follow officers back to the station. But I understand what you mean
Yeah, we know, there was that glitch before the operator said that, and besides, he also sounded different, like, making you feel guilty by the way he speaks
When I played this I got distracted and never pushed start. I still had my headphones on and a voice whispered in my ear "wHaT ArE yOu WaItInG FoR?" and it was terrifying as hell
My Theory: This is a “Ever growing family” of Alternates! They use this to see who you would trust and who you wouldn’t as to better hone their techniques against you, and then when the letter arrives early, they exploit your prayers to start giving you “Signs” to open the door.
Mark isn't getting the perfect ending cause he isn't following the basic Mandela Catalogue rules: trust no one because doppelganger alternates look like normal people, and say nothing about yourself to avoid revealing your fears.
what if like you're that one person who was born with literally no fear, like the part of your brain that focuses on fears is deformed and doesn't function would you just die to a type 3 or dominate everyone, and ESPECIALLY type 2's? (i hope type 2 is the "saint" that whispers and was shown in the cartoon parts of mandela catalogue)
Just a note I thought was interesting: when the ADA screen bugs out and gets all stretched the voice says the letter will be delivered “Mar-“, which I would assume to be March, but at the end of the assessment it says the letters will be delivered APRIL👀 *oops I definitely have some Monument Mythos kicking around in my head, I meant AAD not ADA!
Mark sees a demon-kid: Never see a more trustworthy thing in my life. Sees a semi demon-kid: The most trustworthy person I've ever seen. Sees a normal-kid: oKaY tHaT lItTlE sHiT!
Yes, this is an exact transcript of something that happened in this video we watched. Where's the comment? Why is every comment section these days just filled with kids quoting the videos rather than having a comment?

Actually when you look closer somewhat appears to be normal are kinda not normal 18:27 the boy's eyes don't match 18:31 the girl's iris is a bit larger like an anime eye than her other eye. 18:40 yeah we know why 18:44 the eyes don't align with each other and also look out of position. It looks like it's just inserted there. 18:50 Her other eye is blocked by the hair. Looking closer there's something off about it though I still don't know why. The hair looks off as well 18:55 I don't think the human mouth muscle could achieve that smile. It looks like it came from a cartoon. (Those are the only reasons why they were detected as untrustworthy that I could find)
I think, if one MUST use text to speech for analogue horror stuff, it'd be really cool if more period accurate voice synths were used. Like the original Macintalk or the Amiga's text to speech voice, or even S.A.M. like in the FAITH trilogy. I think that kind of detail in these sort of "answer these questions/do this thing on this computer" scenarios like in this game would definitely up the immersion in my book.
Hey Mark, during cooking simulator in 2021 you said “What is a stain but another memory on the road trip to your success” and through my whole high school years your videos have been the one thing I found peace in during all of the madness so I was wondering if it was cool with you that I put it for my senior quote :)
My goodness, I almost died inside. While watching the bit about the "trust vs threat", one of my dogs got impatient (I feed them after breakfast) and moved her bowl. The scraping sound paired with the atmosphere and the fact I couldn't see her from around the table made me freeze up. Great friggin' game. My dog's food dish scared me.
While I was watching this, my tabled just started lagging like crazy, wouldn't respond to my presses or scrolling, then just turned off. Scared the shot outta me.
it always helps to imagine how the images are made to avoid being scared. like, the baby is just a warped picture with a load of filters and other junk thrown on top.

I feel like when it comes to Analogue horror, theories are making the experience less scary because you are giving reasons for everything occurring. To me the unusuality of it beyond understanding makes it scarier.
RIGHT like local 58 was scary when it had fewer videos and barely any "lore" to speak of, now i'm not really spooked by it anymore 😕 a lot of analog horror doesn't seem to have sticking power as more and more videos are released
While I do agree that fear of the unknown makes shit scary, I don’t feel like every little bit if Analog Horror has to be, well, Horror, I myself enjoy a good story alongside mystery and horror elements together, more than separated
When it got to that my first thought was momento mori and I didn't even really watch the series. My procrastination got the better of me until I knew there was no way I could watch all the videos before Deletion Day
Anyone else notice one of the first things the 'phone operator' says is "can you open 'this' door?" The phrasing instantly made me think the officer was one of them
Oh one more the "kid" and "operator" are the same instance of these creatures the kid did some bs and either made him think he called the police or game ended the operator to Steal their voice or puppet the body to say open THIS door
so what if i was in the position of the second victim? what if i KNEW both of them were alternates? do i hide? do i run? what if THEY know that I know THEY are NOT HUMANS? what if there's a type 3 running to my general direction right now?
Reminder to any and everyone watching these games/videos: Mandela Catalogue is not a real event happening and has never happened. You are not being watched. You are safe. I love this genre too but sometimes I have to remind myself that this stuff is indeed fake and not to be taken seriously and I hope everyone remembers that too! All love and love the video mark! ♡ Edit: Just wanted to add that the feeling that I have to warn myself and others just comes from the fact that these are INCREDIBLY well done a lot of the times, so much so that it feels kind of real, which is just a testament to the creators of it that they are very talented in their creative abilities when it comes to conveying such an outlandish story to the point it feels real! :)
Thank you very much. ^_^ As fun as it is to pretend to take away from the monotony of being stuck inside 98% of the year for well over a decade and this practically being my only stimulation to the outside world and other people, sometimes I do forget the line between fantasy and reality exists. So having the mental image of some wierd anime Jesus trying to whisper at me at 6am is not what I need XD
Thank you genuinely. When i first watched the mandela catalogue i had a horrible anxiety episode, it made me incredibly paranoid. I have to remind myself that these arent real.
Analogue horror is amazing. I'm loving this new wave of "tests" and "examinations" in horror games. Kinda reminds me of the Milgram experiment, where the scientists kept pressuring the subjects to supposedly shock someone. All these games feel super analytical and like... there's some sort of looming presence lol
Marks constant mention of scars actually brings attention to a really good point about analog horror and just horror in general-the fact that people with scars or deformities or disabilities ARE constantly demonized. Horror media does use the appearance of real life people to portray a feeling of unsettlement or terror to the audience. In fact, horror media relies on the images of disabled people so much that you can't remove that from the horror genre without uprooting almost the entire genre with few exceptions. This isn't me saying "oh we need to cancel the horror genre as a whole" (???) Or whatever but just a fact to be conscious of when you interact with horror.
I completely agree with that! I tried to subvert that a bit by making people with no visible deformity or anything like that threats as well to make it so there's no accurate way of telling with certainty whether someone is to be trusted or not, but maybe I should've put some more thought into because this same thing you're bringing up has been bothering me ever since I posted the game.
I don’t even think it’s so much a disability thing, as more of a thing where something looks so wrong that it couldn’t be human. Like unnaturally large eyes or mouths, twisted faces, things that can’t exist in reality. You get me?
@@knight974 Yes, but the op wrote "good point about analog horror and just horror in general". You look at every monster/enemy that appears in any horror game or horror movie, and you see they have scars or missing body parts and they are deemed evil. They were meaning ALL horror in general.
@@DieFluchendeHexe i dont think theyre deemed evil per se, i think its more of they're deemed scary because missing limbs or sometimes scars are typically associated with traumatic events, which makes them scary. For example, losing your limb in war or having to be amputated is taking away a physical part of you that you can't really get back (besides prosthetics, but that's not my point).
i have come to realise that even if someone told him literally to his face they werent trustworthy, mark would still have that dumb smile on his face and say "theyre trustworthy !! :D"
It’s interesting that the first time you finish it says the letter will arrive in March before it glitches out and it switches later to April the second time around. Maybe the part about the letter arriving “sooner than this date” is a reference to this inconsistency
He used to be loud and almost annoying (I don’t know why I liked him and Jack when I was a kid), but now he’s more “calm” and toned down in comparison.
Something I caught on the second play was before the screen glitches out it says "you will recieve a letter on marrrrrrrrr" as if it's going to say March, then later it says it will come in April and if any other letter (the real letter) comes before then stay in side, trying to get you to avoid salvation
Analogue horror is the only genre that can legitimately terrify me. To this day, "Don't Look Up Local 58" unsettles me. Despite the fact I've seen it over a dozen times
@@RollerOfEyes Yeah, seriously. I don't understand the popularity of this stuff. Just more loud jump scares mostly with still images. And boring voice mails that are supposed to seem 'real.' Then again, almost nothing scares me anymore thanks to how predictable it's all become.

I don’t know why, but I love it when Mark wears his mustard blanket 😭😭 he looks so cosy while he’s getting his scare on EDIT: accidentally made a huge mistake & used a word I’ve now been told is a slur.

Calling 9-1-1 and waiting for help is good enough. The guy has every right to stay inside and wait for an ambulance. If you don't feel comfortable, feel you/or someone else might be endanger, or you don't have the right training to do first aid you are not breaking any laws. 8:00

When you get to the title screen and wait, the game asks "what are you waiting for?" It also moves your cursor towards the start button. Just fun fact :)

I liked this comment but then I realized it was at 666 likes before I liked it so I decided to unlike it, but just know that I would have liked it had it not been at 666.
I'm pretty sure the "cop" on the phone was an alternate, who deliberately made the gas station guy unlock the door.
I'd say she was just a normal human who got things wrong, maybe she was a mother herself so it had impact on her caring more about child's wellbeing than caller's?
I think it’s just protocol “Do not help a caller reporting an alternate encounter. No matter how frantic their screams are. Calmly reassure the caller that help is on the way. The call can be ended when they stop responding to your questions” and so on
@@evphoricmoon I feel like after hearing "the kid has blood on him" and "the kid isnt hurt" you would ask if the kid is holding a weapon before jumping to the conclusion the kid is *pale* and needs to be *let inside*
@@zanderlucioperca in the other games, cops lead you to your death. like in one of the earlier ones it the cop says open the door lay on the floor and play dead.
@@evphoricmoon Well I mean not helping them and convincing them to go face to face with the alternate are very different
"You know, refusal to cooperate is a crime, son."
Well, you're trying to send me out to the strange creature that's possibly harassing me, that's covered in blood and doesn't look injured, at a time when I'm feeling threatened. I'm pretty okay with crime, all of a sudden.
Yknow some part of me really doubts that they’d get in trouble for that? Like some part of that just rubs me as manipulation. I dont know if a citizen refusing to cooperate in a situation where they’re not committing illegal act would be an offense; like what, can a police officer tell someone to get out of their seat and then arrest them if they dont move? My bet is that the officer is a replicant himself and knows that boy is another replicant, and intimidated that clerk to open the door.
Do not respond to bots. Just report them. You can also mute them in your notifications.
@@midgematic8659 My feelings exactly.
Not to mention that the person talking would be a dispatch worker and not a cop. It's not against the law to refuse their bad advice.
he's doing the crime by forcing a guy into his death.
For the record, the third ending is getting all the answers wrong. Specifically wrong, with the same determination as getting them all right. The third ending is getting a mix of answers. Mark got 2/3 of the endings: mixed answers, and correct answers. I would love to hear his thoughts on the incorrect answers ending. It could get him thinking and I love hearing his takes
this should be higher

That cop/operator/dispatcher was 100% an alternate with the way he was trying to coerce that guy to go help the kid.
Nah the person sounds too normal. Alternates cannot mimic voice anywhere near perfectly. Plus cops are taught to let the people get killed by alternates as to not put themselves at risk
Nothing is worth the risk
@@isaiahd9947 there's one here
Why is helping a kid the wrong thing to do ?
@@JoJo-jj6id Do you know what an alternate is?
It'd be amusing if the lore for this "Test" is teaching the Alternates which faces are giving them away.
i think this is one of the 'theories' that makes the most sense honestly. the primary thing alternates are trying to figure out/do is how to fit into society and trick the normal person into thinking they're one of them for whatever reason tbh
@@ev9757 yeah, also i find the "you will join our expanding family" thing with their faces blacked out extremely suspicious, like they're gathering information on what to do and what not to do.
yes i’m an alternate this really helped ❤️❤️
@@ev9757 yeah people look at me weird when i get a feature wrong, i don’t hang around humans often :/
i think this also explains the police dispatcher, who I'm pretty sure was an alternate. He made up some rule about it being illegal to not cooperate and made the guy feel bad so he would go out and be killed. If he were a real police officer, he would've heard the call and most likely known it was an alternate, assuming the police have training similar to Maple County or whatever. So for him to knowingly send a man to his death in my mind can mean only one thing. I also have the theory that the alternates hijacked the assessment. They want you to destroy the real letter, which would arrive in March, and come out of your house when the fake letter arrives in April. That makes you an easy target. The fact that you aren't reaching out to family or police for help makes it even easier, no one will even know you're gone for a while.

About the dispatcher and the night shift worker, if you look at the other Mandela Catalogue videos, there's a running theme, or at least some scenes where if someone calls to report alternate things, the dispatcher is just supposed to do nothing and distract them till the alternate get to em. I don't remember which video exactly, but it's one of them.
There is no safety. The law enforcement is trained to let the callers die. The Mandela Catalogue universe is brutal
The dispatcher was probably trying to get him to go outside so that the call could end quicker
Law enforcement are alternates.
@@LordVader1094 that to. They are trained to let the mandela effect hapoen
The government knows that alternates are too dangerous to be stopped. Trying to intervene will just get more people killed.
Also, the scene you're talking about is in "The Mandela Catalogue - Vol. 1" where the police training video says:
"If a caller reports an alternate encounter, do not help them.
Calmly reassure the caller that help is on the way.
When the caller stops answering your questions, you can hang up the call.
Do not talk too much.
You may reveal your fear."
I may have missed a sentence or two, but that's what I remember of it.
As far as I know, the law enforcement are just supposed to let the callers die because they might accidentally reveal their 'fear' to the alternates, the tv kidnapper, and/or the fake god (the devil). Doing so will get them killed.

FACTS.
I definitely get the feeling this test was made by alternates as a way to better perfect their human-looking form. So if that's the case, getting all the answers "wrong" might actually be right, as opposed to how Mark was trying to play.
Heard that's actually the one ending mark didn't get! I love ur theory btw.
Quick reminder to everyone: replying to or mentioning a bot that shows up in the replies section of a comment causes it to register as “engagement” which causes the bots to continue appearing since it attracts views and therefore revenue. DO NOT mention, reply to, or engage with any comment bots unless you want to see them continue to pop-up in the comment section. They are designed to catch your attention and make you angry, because it makes the bot channel money when you fall for it.
The best thing to do is report the fuckers and the channel without engaging. If they say something nasty or whip out the antisemitism you can report them for harrassment or hate speech to get it looked at sooner.

Pro tip for indie devs: if you're gonna make a game with multiple endings that would encourage people to play through multiple times, please let players skip through lengthy non-gameplay sections.
No
@@Quatro921 Now explain why
@@Vase94 a lot of times non gameplay sections are what hold a lot of the changes in certain routes. If devs want to add that that means that they can’t put anything inportant in those sections because they just let the players skip through it
@@Quatro921 I think that the kind of way that they are saying is to allow players who have seen one scene to skip that scene if it ever shows up again. That way, if there is a change in the scene, you cannot skip and will have to watch though it at least once to do so.
@@hmmmm4014 fair enough
one interesting thing to note: In the final regards of the tape, it states that, if you are accepted, you will receive a letter on the month of April, and that if you receive it prior to april, to regard it as a threat. Before that, in the "false" ending, it states the letter will arrive on the month of March, which is the month before april.

FYI: While refusing to help is not necessarily looked well upon, if you do believe that helping will cause you harm it is totally ok to say no! Ie if the person is very drunk and you are worried they might hurt you, you don't have to help!!
I just wanted y'all to know!! Stay safe!
More likely is that you will find someone in a high-risk situation, like a car crash or being pinned under a heavy object. Also certain injuries like head or spine injuries could be made worse by untrained persons. So often you will be unable to help.
I second this! I am an EMT and during our training, we are taught to not try and help unless we know for sure an area is safe for us to be in. So for example, if there is a shooting going on or a fire, we have to wait for law enforcement/fire fighters to make the area safe before we can help. For civilians, no one is going to get in legal trouble for not helping. Especially if you are afraid for your safety!
Learned from a Lawyer channel it very much depends on where you live. Some countries actually have a legal requirement that if you see someone who needs help, you have to help them. But others [like the US] while it's frowned upon to ignore someone who might need help, it is not legally binding that you assist.
@@Crow_Smith the only down side to that is I know police officers in most places don't legally have to help you either, which boggles my mind. Though on the flip side many places have good Samaritan laws and if you choose to help someone you won't get in any legal ramifications(unless your getting in the way). Though both of those differ from state to state I believe, so I'd try to learn what the laws are regarding that.
I agree. If the area is unsafe, you can't help anyone if you end up hurt as well. You're likely to do more harm then good if it's a dangerous situation so unless you can guarantee your own safety before you help, call authorities, stay away and observe.
upon taking the test and answering all the trust/threat questions incorrectly (trusting alternates, viewing humans as threats) i found a new ending. the robotic narrator read out the part of little red riding hood where she approaches her grandmother's bed and remarks on how strange she looks. the story cuts off and the image (of the park) turns upside down, the narrator's voice deepening, after she remarks on what a large, terrible mouth her grandmother has. after, the text on the screen goes on in the same style as other endings, this time apologizing to Avram, and referencing, capitalized, Him. i know the mandela catalogue is rooted in christian stories, so maybe someone with more biblical knowledge could decipher the endings.

Akram would be Abraham, I think. The person who the diazepam prescription was for

Refusal to cooperate is NOT a crime, even more so if you don't have first aid training. You can easily make things worse or put yourself in danger (especially when blood is involved). Calling for emergency services is often the best thing to do.
The 911 operator (or whatever they're called) was probably an alternate or whatever. Since the end of the exam warns against contacting police we know the things have infiltrated emergency services.

I think that kind of detail in these sort of "answer these questions/do this thing on this computer" scenarios like in this game would definitely up the immersion in my book.
Hey Mark, during cooking simulator in 2021 you said “What is a stain but another memory on the road trip to your success” and through my whole high school years your videos have been the one thing I found peace in during all of the madness so I was wondering if it was cool with you that I put it for my senior quote :)
Trying putting this in the discord or Reddit ☺️ but honestly I don’t think he will mind!
the bots…. jeeeeez. Bots aside, that’s really cool! Best of luck in the future, whatever it brings!!
I don't think he cares lmao
Wow. You got bots. That means your comment's just too good.

My goodness, I almost died inside. While watching the bit about the "trust vs threat", one of my dogs got impatient (I feed them after breakfast) and moved her bowl. The scraping sound paired with the atmosphere and the fact I couldn't see her from around the table made me freeze up.
Great friggin' game. My dog's food dish scared me.
We had to tape my dogs food bowl to the ground because he would carry it every where and spill it all over
While I was watching this, my tabled just started lagging like crazy, wouldn't respond to my presses or scrolling, then just turned off. Scared the shot outta me.
Had trouble swallowing my food when the warped child appeared. These games will never stop making me feel like I'm being watched
LITERALLY IM WATCHING THIS AT 1:17 AM AND THE CHILD JUST MADE ME MORE SCARED EACH TIME I SAW THEM
Wait what I’m watching this downstairs in the dark at midnight…
Yeah, my cat walked over to the window near my computer and pushed all te blinds out of the way, would've had a panic attack if I saw anything
WAKE UP WAKE UP
for some reason this made me think that you had warped children in your basement
I don’t really watch you anymore, but I wanted to thank you for making my childhood more fun and memorable
Late but, I respect
it always helps to imagine how the images are made to avoid being scared. like, the baby is just a warped picture with a load of filters and other junk thrown on top.
That really helped, thank you :)
Yeah, but why would you indulge in a piece of horror media with the intention of not getting scared? (Also, yes, I'm a year late. I know.)
Mark: "well that poem didn't rhyme"
Game: "These are haiku's mark."
whats the difference? really genuinely curious
@@_nopsy haiku is just a type of poetry. Traditional haikus usually don’t rhyme. Id recommend looking more into it if it interest you!
@@_nopsy the Haiku is a structural poem it doesn't rhyme, but it follows the structure 5-7-5 and those numbers refer to syllables. Line one has to have 5 syllables, line two has 7, and line three has 5. Typically they are about nature, but don't have to be.
@@evanmisejka4062 How frozen i became and powerless then,
Ask it not, reader, for I write it not,
Because all language would be insufficient,

Would dante count as a haiku?
They're also way less creepy sounding when you sing them to the tune Jacksfilms uses for haikus :)
I feel like when it comes to Analogue horror, theories are making the experience less scary because you are giving reasons for everything occurring. To me the unusuality of it beyond understanding makes it scarier.
RIGHT like local 58 was scary when it had fewer videos and barely any "lore" to speak of, now i'm not really spooked by it anymore 😕 a lot of analog horror doesn't seem to have sticking power as more and more videos are released
@@vesperfromtheinternet5588 Good to know somebody feels the same.. apparently 5 people do so.
While I do agree that fear of the unknown makes shit scary, I don’t feel like every little bit if Analog Horror has to be, well, Horror, I myself enjoy a good story alongside mystery and horror elements together, more than separated
@@Ale-km3ux Yeh a bit of basic explanation is alright like the idea of "alternates", otherwise i dont like reading theories in the comments
@mushroom Never found FNAF scary but you might be right
The way he hit “trust” on every single one made me feel anger, but when he trusted the kid with the messed up face, I wanted to scream.
Gonna cry?
Same bruh i got so pressed
does it mean something?
Then you have issues and need to calm the fuck down.
Then play it yourself.
I’m not sure why but I love when Mark wears the blanket when he records. Just putting that out there

Reminder to any and everyone watching these games/videos: Mandela Catalogue is not a real event happening and has never happened. You are not being watched. You are safe. I love this genre too but sometimes I have to remind myself that this stuff is indeed fake and not to be taken seriously and I hope everyone remembers that too! All love and love the video mark! ♡
Edit: Just wanted to add that the feeling that I have to warn myself and others just comes from the fact that these are INCREDIBLY well done a lot of the times, so much so that it feels kind of real, which is just a testament to the creators of it that they are very talented in their creative abilities when it comes to conveying such an outlandish story to the point it feels real! :)
Thank you very much. ^_^
As fun as it is to pretend to take away from the monotony of being stuck inside 98% of the year for well over a decade and this practically being my only stimulation to the outside world and other people, sometimes I do forget the line between fantasy and reality exists.
So having the mental image of some wierd anime Jesus trying to whisper at me at 6am is not what I need XD
iSnT tHaT wHaT aN aLtErNaTe WoUlD sAy?
Thank you genuinely. When i first watched the mandela catalogue i had a horrible anxiety episode, it made me incredibly paranoid. I have to remind myself that these arent real.
thank you for this
Do not trust this "person".
I don’t know why but this is the only game that genuinely left me terrified for a long time and not just a quick jump scare and I was over it
Analogue horror is amazing. I'm loving this new wave of "tests" and "examinations" in horror games. Kinda reminds me of the Milgram experiment, where the scientists kept pressuring the subjects to supposedly shock someone. All these games feel super analytical and like... there's some sort of looming presence lol
i remember learning about this my freshman year in high school! we watched actual footage of one of the tests and it was so disturbing
oh god the milgram experiment
Mark is the only person that makes me feel so comfortable watching horrors
Same
What about Daz games?
Marks constant mention of scars actually brings attention to a really good point about analog horror and just horror in general-the fact that people with scars or deformities or disabilities ARE constantly demonized. Horror media does use the appearance of real life people to portray a feeling of unsettlement or terror to the audience.
In fact, horror media relies on the images of disabled people so much that you can't remove that from the horror genre without uprooting almost the entire genre with few exceptions. This isn't me saying "oh we need to cancel the horror genre as a whole" (???) Or whatever but just a fact to be conscious of when you interact with horror.
Even with popular movies like Friday the 13th and Texas chainsaw massacre
I completely agree with that! I tried to subvert that a bit by making people with no visible deformity or anything like that threats as well to make it so there's no accurate way of telling with certainty whether someone is to be trusted or not, but maybe I should've put some more thought into because this same thing you're bringing up has been bothering me ever since I posted the game.
I don’t even think it’s so much a disability thing, as more of a thing where something looks so wrong that it couldn’t be human. Like unnaturally large eyes or mouths, twisted faces, things that can’t exist in reality. You get me?
@@knight974 Yes, but the op wrote "good point about analog horror and just horror in general". You look at every monster/enemy that appears in any horror game or horror movie, and you see they have scars or missing body parts and they are deemed evil. They were meaning ALL horror in general.
@@DieFluchendeHexe i dont think theyre deemed evil per se, i think its more of they're deemed scary because missing limbs or sometimes scars are typically associated with traumatic events, which makes them scary. For example, losing your limb in war or having to be amputated is taking away a physical part of you that you can't really get back (besides prosthetics, but that's not my point).
Fans: "Man, Mark is so kind and down-to-earth. What a humble guy"
Mark: "Would I fear God? No."
i have come to realise that even if someone told him literally to his face they werent trustworthy, mark would still have that dumb smile on his face and say "theyre trustworthy !! :D"
Aww the fact thats probably true is so wholesome lol
Even if i were to stab him in the abdomen he’d be like “ah no common mistake this guy is perfectly trustworthy” what a guy
Why must the bots invade every single fricking comment on this god forsaken video
@@sentientmustache8360 IM CRYING LMFAO PLEASE
damn this comment is pretty cool, the person who commented this must be so swag can confirm
It’s interesting that the first time you finish it says the letter will arrive in March before it glitches out and it switches later to April the second time around. Maybe the part about the letter arriving “sooner than this date” is a reference to this inconsistency
Was hoping someone else noticed that
but then it said if a message that arrives before the real letter is a trap which is kinda confusing
It still surprises me that mark hasn’t fallen off like, no bright colors, no fake bouncy energetic personality just a guy enjoying his job
Because he does acid lol have you not watched in space with markipkier while tripping face? It's fun
If anything it feels like he’s matured his content, he used to be more “WHTASUPD EVEYRBODY” but it feels a lot more genuine now
Yeah unlike a few youtubers I used to watch
*_**(Cough aphmau cough)*_**
@@FREAKOFNATURE-mb8oo SOBBING, how could you remind me of my lost childhood in such a painful way lol
He used to be loud and almost annoying (I don’t know why I liked him and Jack when I was a kid), but now he’s more “calm” and toned down in comparison.
Something I caught on the second play was before the screen glitches out it says "you will recieve a letter on marrrrrrrrr" as if it's going to say March, then later it says it will come in April and if any other letter (the real letter) comes before then stay in side, trying to get you to avoid salvation
Analogue horror is the only genre that can legitimately terrify me.
To this day, "Don't Look Up Local 58" unsettles me. Despite the fact I've seen it over a dozen times
Yes!! I love horror and rarely get the spooks but Local 58, specifically that one and the one about what to do if there’s an invasion, mess me up
Yes, static and photoshop terrify me as well 🙄
@@RollerOfEyes if that’s all the Mandela catalog guy is using that’s impressive. Really well made stuff
Same with me
@@RollerOfEyes Yeah, seriously. I don't understand the popularity of this stuff. Just more loud jump scares mostly with still images. And boring voice mails that are supposed to seem 'real.'
Then again, almost nothing scares me anymore thanks to how predictable it's all become.
It's because when you see the missing people, you can see that some of the people that are missing are in the trust and threat test.
I think you’d enjoy a game called Who’s Lila. It’s an indie horror, around 4-6 hours long, it seems up your alley!
I have a playthrough of that game from another youtuber saved in my Watch Later. Is it good?
@@SUBM4CH1N3 yes! I personally like it.
Glad I watched this, didn't even imagine there could be different endings.
The length of this REALLY differs depending on how you play it, interesting experience
I don’t know why, but I love it when Mark wears his mustard blanket 😭😭 he looks so cosy while he’s getting his scare on
EDIT: accidentally made a huge mistake & used a word I’ve now been told is a slur. I’m so sorry for that & I hope I didn’t offend anyone. Thank you to everyone who brought this to my attention. Even though it wasn’t intended in that context I’ve still changed the word.

It’s pretty fascinating that Mark can just keep a straight face when playing horror games. Just shows that he is calm with everything he does.

it's probably just because he's pretty much desensitized to everything now, after playing horror games for so many years you get used to it and it takes a lot more to genuinely scare you.
yes... calm
