South of Midnight is the latest title from Compulsion Games , a Canadian studio best known for making We Happy Few .

It follows Hazel , a young woman who must rescue her mother after a hurricane sweeps their home away.

Hazel progresses by using her Weaver abilities to heal the blighted landscape and defeat enemies called haints.

South of Midnight deftly straddles those two schools of thought in a pointed way that I’ve never seen before.

Its creators wanted to craft a love letter to a culture not often depicted in video games.

The game came out right on time, right in the moment when a narrative like this was needed the most.
