South of Midnight story and gameplay
Developed by the creative minds behind Contrast and We Happy Few, South of Midnight is a spellbinding third-person action-adventure game set in the rich, atmospheric landscapes of the American Deep South.
You play as Hazel, a young woman whose life is upended when a devastating hurricane strikes her hometown of Prospero. Drawn into a surreal Southern Gothic world, Hazel discovers she is destined to become a Weaver—a magical mender of broken spirits and fractured histories.
As Hazel, you confront mythical creatures inspired by Southern folklore, from terrifying Haints to mysterious beings lurking in the shadows.
Using her newfound weaving magic, Hazel faces both external threats and the tangled web of her family’s hidden past. Her journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and the power to mend not just the physical world, but the emotional bonds that connect us all.
With its haunting art style, immersive storytelling, and evocative soundtrack, South of Midnight transports players to a world where history, myth, and personal identity intertwine.
