South of Midnight is a fantastical and macabre third-person action-adventure set in the American Deep South, where the heroine Hazel is tasked to repair a broken world by subduing supernatural creatures based on real-life folklores. The heroine wields a specific type of Magic called Weaving, which is used both for combat and traversal, as well as serving as the foundation of the player’s interactions with the game’s world.
