@compulsiongames.bsky.social, last night I reached the Crossroads in South of Midnight, and I gotta say: I loved the little shout-outs/references to the Yoruba Orisha in the signposts. I saw Shango, Yemoja, Oya (my fave), Oshun, and Obatala. Also loved how secretly on-the-nose Ayotunde's name was!

Catfish complimenting Hazels new clothes by asking if she got a promotion at the Piggly Wiggly is the most specific Southern US thing I've ever seen in a video game. It made me laugh! #SouthofMidnight
