The air thickens, the world goes quiet.

In combat, there’s no time to look twice… but here’s your chance to study South of Midnight’s most haunting foes, the Haints.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the feral beauty of the Rougarou. 🧶🧵

When you’re running for your life, it’s easy to miss the craftsmanship behind this creature - inspired by Cajun legend, reimagined by our team. 🦉

Congratulations to @doublefine.com for the launch of Keeper! 🕯️
Looks eerie, beautiful, and perfectly strange! Just how we like it. 📷

Let’s take a moment to marvel at the haunting details of Huggin’ Molly. 🕷️🕸️

It’s easy to miss the details when you’re in the middle of a fight - but the team poured a lot of love (and a bit of fear) into bringing her to life. 🔍

Thrilled to share that we've been nominated for two golden joysticks awards!

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)

In-game screenshot from South of Midnight of gravestones with members of the art team engraved on them, including: Theodore Scott, Somina Rout, Dylan Abernethy, and Samir (the Corruption Master).

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!)
