Xbox Drops ‘South of Midnight’ Doc Revealing Details for Epic Gothic Adventure Game That’s a ‘Love Letter’ to American Deep South
"South of Midnight" is an upcoming video game from Xbox that explores an alternate reality, magical version of the American Deep South through the journey of Hazel.
“It was really crucial for us that we got as much perspective as possible, as many voices as possible, to try to show our version of a fantastical Deep South that has both dark in it, that touches upon it, but also beauty and tries to get you that range — although the story, in and of itself, is a personal story about our main character,” art director Whitney Clayton told Variety ahead of the documentary’s launch. In shaping the character of Hazel, Rae spent a lot of time working with the creative team on the exact right Southern accent to convey who she was. Though “South of Midnight” won’t be out until next year, members of the team are already hoping for a continuation to the story — whether that be through another game, or an adaptation.
