>>128326870 says the concept is pretty simple (evil doppelgangers) which probably helps draw in more of a crowd, versus something a bit more esoteric like Local58 where the threat is more out there and requires you to piece some stuff together. Then beneath the simple premise there's the religious stuff to give it more of a DEEP LORE angle and more existential horror than just scary monsters, I guess.
I imagine Wendigoon doing a video on it helped a lot.
I do like Mandela and think it's great that the kid making it has managed to really take off, it must be wonderful for him, but imo it doesn't quite square up against stuff like Gemini or even other newcomers like Nephtys Media.
