Microsoft and Compulsion Games studio have published extensive material about the unusual adventure action game South of Midnight.

Here's What We Know

In the latest edition of Official Xbox Podcast the developers presented almost half an hour of footage with developer comments. Viewers were shown staged scenes, exploration of locations, communication of the main character with a giant catfish and other characters, fights with enemies and jumping on platforms.

Flashback

South of Midnight is a dynamic action game from the creator of the conceptual dystopia We Happy Few, which will be set in an alternative rural area of the south of the USA, where local folklore combines with magic and fantasy monsters.

The game will have unusual locations and memorable enemies. The main character Hazel has several supernatural abilities that will allow her to feel echoes of the past and use magic. On her journey the girl will have fights with bizarre monsters, as well as meetings with interesting characters.

The developers have 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.

When We Can Expect It

South of Midnight will release on April 8 on PC and Xbox Series, and will be available in the Game Pass catalogue.
