Unleash the Magic
South of Midnight, a captivating third-person action-adventure game, is set against the backdrop of a Gothic fantasy version of the American Deep South. Step into the shoes of Hazel, a young woman who embarks on a journey to find her missing mother and discovers her unique abilities as a Weaver — a magical individual who can mend broken bonds and spirits. Throughout her quest, Hazel encounters intriguing mythical creatures inspired by Southern folklore, explores surreal landscapes and unravels deep family secrets.
Blending mesmerizing visuals with innovative gameplay mechanics, South of Midnight combines traditional action-adventure elements with Souls-like combat and strategic spellcasting. Players use Hazel’s Weaver powers — such as Push, Pull and Weave — to tactically engage formidable enemies known as Haints, navigate challenging scenarios and solve intricate puzzles.
