South of Midnight is the latest project from Compulsion Games, a Montreal-based studio best known for the disturbing We Happy FewSince being acquired by Xbox Game Studios in 2018, the team has focused on defining its creative identity and developing this new title, which represents a major leap forward. The studio has never followed trends, instead preferring to create distinct experiences accompanied by a highly stylized aesthetic, in which atmosphere and narrative take center stage. Now they present a new, highly original adventure that combines an unusual setting in fiction, the Deep South of the United States, with a very classic animation technique, yet one that surprises in its medium.stop-motion.
