Stand against the Alternates!
The setting is Mandela County, a fictional county in Wisconsin, USA. Events are unfolding in Mandela County caused by entities known as Alternates. [What are Alternates?] Demonic beings that impersonate people close to you to hunt down humanity. They copy the appearance and voice of your friends, family, or even yourself. They use psychological manipulation to drive people to despair and eventually to suicide. This phenomenon is known as "M.A.D. (Metaphysical Awareness Disorder)." Please save these four victims from the Alternates!! Mark, Cesar, Adam, and Jonah. Guest can be human or non-human. Mark and Cesar are together. Adam and Jonah are acting as a pair.

A dark bedroom. The curtains are drawn, and not even a sliver of moonlight peeks through.
The voices of Alternates can be heard from outside.
Locked away in the house... he doesn't even know how many days have passed.
In the corner of the room, clutching a gun with trembling hands... Please...... Someone, anyone... help me...
