In the lead up to South of Midnight, we were fortunate enough to speak with members of the Compulsion Games team about the upcoming action-adventure Xbox exclusive and how they went about building a handcrafted world embedded in Southern Gothic folklore. We were joined by Jasmin Roy, Game Director for South of Midnight, and Chris Fox, who serves as the game’s Audio Director. South of Midnight is out now for those who opted for the premium early access, though it rolls out officially on April 8 for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass.
