South of Midnight Gameplay

South of Midnight is an action-adventure game with major narrative elements and platforming mechanics. Striking the same vein as other adventure games like Uncharted and Tomb Raider, this third-person adventure sees the main protagonist Hazel traverse a topographically rich swamp using a mystical power that lets her jump, swing, and glide across the foliage.

South of Midnight also has a robust combat system where timed dodges and strikes are key to defeating enemies.

The game introduces Haints, a diverse enemy class corrupted by dark forces. Players will guide Hazel as she utilizes her weaving powers and magical tools to cleanse these creatures and their surroundings, restoring the area to its natural state.

Among the notable foes are Two-Toed Tom, a massive blind albino alligator the size of an island, and Huggin’ Molly, a monstrous spider-like woman capable of spinning webs that players must carefully dodge while strategizing their attacks.
