At the Xbox Developer_Direct show Compulsion Games studio (author of the conceptual dystopia We Happy Few) presented new details of the notable action-adventure South of Midnight, which will be set in an alternative rural area of the southern United States, where local folklore combines with magic and fantasy monsters.

Here's What We Know

The developers reminded that the main character will be a girl Hazel. She is not only very agile and agile, but also has several supernatural abilities that allow her to feel echoes of the past and use magic. The girl will go on a journey through an alternative version of the American South, where she will face fights with bizarre monsters and meet interesting characters.

The developers tried to enrich South of Midnight with an exciting plot and dynamic combat system, and thanks to this every boss fight will be a worthy challenge, but without excessive high complexity.

The main feature of South of Midnight is the use of stop motion art, also known as frame-by-frame animation, but it can be switched off in the game.
