Prepare for a captivating journey into the heart of Southern Gothic folklore with South of Midnight, launching April 8th, 2025! This action-adventure game, revealed at the Xbox Developer_Direct 2025, invites players to explore a fantastical world inspired by Deep South tales.

A Mother's Search, a Magical Awakening:

The story follows Hazel, who, after a devastating hurricane, embarks on a quest to find her missing mother. This perilous journey leads her to uncover her own magical heritage as a Weaver, capable of manipulating the threads that connect all things.

Hazel's adventure unfolds across diverse Southern landscapes, from flooded plains to treacherous swamps and Appalachian peaks. She encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, including Catfish, a colossal, talking creature who reveals Hazel's destiny.

Weaving Magic, Confronting Haints:

Gameplay revolves around the unique power of Weaving. Hazel wields a spindle, weaving hooks, and a distaff, using them not only in combat but also for exploration and puzzle-solving. In combat, she utilizes spells like Push, Pull, and Weave to strategically outmaneuver and subdue corrupted creatures known as Haints.

Hazel's Weaving abilities allow her to conjure objects from the past, opening up new paths and solving environmental puzzles. She'll need all her skills to confront powerful mythical creatures, each with its own unique history, like the formidable Two-Toed Tom.

By collecting Echoes—fragments of haunted memories—Hazel can heal these corrupted beings after defeating them in epic confrontations.
