Alternate Watch
is a Mandela Catalogue Fan Game developed by Tesseron.
The game takes heavy inspiration from I'm On Observation Duty and follows similar mechanics: you must survive from 12 A.M. to 6 A.M. while observing some cameras and reporting any anomaly you spot to get rid of it.
Alternate Watch contains examples of:
- Body Horror: The Flawed Alternates are this, being Alternates that haven't quite succeeded at copying their target. Notable examples in-game are a faceless woman and a completely deformed woman.
- Gaslighting: Much like in the game where it takes inspiration from, most of the anomalies are like this, with objects changing, moving or duplicating.
- Government Agency of Fiction: The United States Department of Temporal Phenomena.
- Humanoid Abomination: Every Alternate, in one way or the other, always looks wrong and monstrous despite their humanoid appearance. This is especially true for Pure Forms, who are humanoid shadows.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: The Alternates can take about any form they wish, staying in their pure shadowy form or taking the appearance of a human or - in the Mimics' case - objects.
