Discover the Deep South in South of Midnight

Get ready to be swept away by South of Midnight, an upcoming action-adventure game that’s more than just a game, it’s a heartfelt journey into the American South. I recently experienced a preview, and 20 minutes in, I was in tears.

A Story Steeped in Southern Folklore

You play as Hazel, a young woman searching for her mother in a hurricane-ravaged swamp. Hazel’s journey isn’t just physical, she’s also discovering her powers as a Weaver, someone who can manipulate the threads of life. The game draws heavily from American Southern Gothic folklore, blending tales from indigenous, African, Creole, and Cajun traditions.
