Unveiling South of Midnight
Today at the Xbox Direct showcase, Compulsion Games dropped a new trailer for their upcoming action-adventure title, South of Midnight. This game is not just another entry into the genre; it promises a journey through a “darkly magical world” inspired by the deep south of the U.S. With stunning visuals and an enchanting backstory, it’s certainly a title to keep on your radar.
Meet Hazel, the Weaving Protagonist
At the heart of South of Midnight is Hazel, a weaver who has recently discovered her knack for seeing into the supernatural realm. It appears that folklore creatures are not mere tales—they’re real, and they’re everywhere. Some are friendly, while others? Not so much. Let’s face it, trying to navigate the supernatural while searching for your mother amidst hurricane aftermath sounds like quite the adventure, doesn’t it?
Gameplay and Storyline Insights
The gameplay will feature soulslike combat with a dodge-roll-strike rhythm that many gamers have come to enjoy. Admittedly, boss battles can be a bit daunting for some, but the story surrounding South of Midnight is what truly captivates me. It channels a vibe similar to The Pathless, which I absolutely adored! I’m excited to see how Hazel combats powerful haints and unravels her family’s legacy while also seeking to liberate those haunted by their pasts.
With a release date set for April 8, mark your calendars—this journey into the supernatural awaits!
