LOVE seeing "Video Game Arts Appreciation Night" from @agotoronto.bsky.social this Friday!
Really cool way to spotlight some great Canadian games, like @compulsiongames.bsky.social's South of Midnight, @visaigames.bsky.social's Venba, @localthunk.com's @playbalatro.com & Isometricorp's Tunic. 🇨🇦 🎮
I just finished the game, I'm sure this will be known as a hidden gem.
I loved everything about this game, game play, story, art design & music, everything was spot on!
This is my GOTY 2025.
Thank you for making this.

Compilation image of the woven creature patterns from South of Midnight on a dark floral weaving background.
Restoring the Grand Tapestry means reweaving what’s broken—and sometimes, that makes for some truly stunning patterns. Of the six belonging to our creatures, which is your favorite?

Screenshot of cutscene from South of Midnight showing Hazel looking curiously at peculiar figures of creatures sitting along Mrs. Pearle's windowsill while a storm ravages outside the window.
Screenshot from South of Midnight of crudely drawn but familiar-looking fridge magnets on Hazel and Lacey's fridge.
Noticed the familiar-looking figures on Mrs. Pearle’s windowsill? We call that ✨foreshadowing✨
(Bonus points if you spotted the magnets on Hazel’s fridge, too)

South of Midnight's been out for a few months now, so we figured it’s the perfect time for more Easter eggs:
As you make your way up to the old abandoned church, you can find some special headstones engraved with names of some of the art team (who are all very much still alive and well, promise!)
Feeling the heat (and humidity) this summer, especially here down South 🥵
