About

Maple County is a very creepy little horror game where you watch a police training VHS tape about dealing with an unknown threat. Drawing inspiration from the Mandela Catalog YouTube videos, Maple County is a short and very unsettling horror game where you watch and interact with a creepy old interactive police training VHS. While watching the video you’ll need to follow the instructions and absolutely nothing weird will happen whatsoever (if you can spot the lie in that sentence then you’ll make a great cop).
