Southern Gothic is an odd thing, a topic that I don’t blame people for not immediately understanding or recognizing. As a Southerner myself, it’s a genre that fascinates me and has made me all the more interested in South of Midnight, a narrative adventure from Compulsion Games and Xbox Game Studios that combines elements of eerie folklore into something of a modern fairytale.
It's not a combination anyone would expect, with a Canadian studio going out of its way to tell a story in the Deep South. At a recent preview event, I had the chance to go hands-on with South of Midnight, playing one of the game’s early chapters and talking with the team that’s putting this truly unique adventure together.
