Every now and then a game comes along that looks and feels truly singular. South of Midnight, the new action-adventure game from our partner Compulsion Games, has achieved that feat. Our artists, who worked on the title for about four years from March 2021, are proud to have contributed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set in the American Deep South, South of Midnight is decidedly Southern Gothic: despair and decay are woven into small towns soaked in atmosphere, where time seems to have stood still, only to be disturbed into life by Hazel, the game\u2019s protagonist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
South of Midnight\u2019s stop-motion, timeworn art style is a central part of its melancholic feel. Every detail carries the weight of the past, from reed overgrowth to the game\u2019s fantastical creatures inspired by real Southern folktales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe genesis of Midnight was my desire to create a love letter to the South,\u201d said David Sears, South of Midnight\u2019s <\/em>Creative Director<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This project came with much responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
