In the vast landscape of gaming, GameSpot recently delved into the heart of the American Deep South with their review of South of Midnight by Compulsion Games. This game, a love letter to the region, immerses players in a world teeming with haint creatures born from negative emotions. As protagonist Hazel battles these eerie beings, she unravels the memories and truths hidden within, offering a unique narrative experience rarely explored in the gaming realm.
While the combat in South of Midnight may not be groundbreaking, it serves as a vehicle to drive the player through the rich tapestry of storytelling and world-building meticulously crafted by Compulsion Games.
