South of Midnight: Weave the Folklore of the Deep South

Beneath the humid air, Spanish moss, and decaying grandeur of the American South lies a world where folklore bleeds into reality. You are Hazel, a young woman returning to the forgotten, swamp-locked town of Prosperity, a place haunted by more than just memories. After a personal tragedy shatters her world, Hazel discovers she is a Weaver—a guardian tasked with mending the tears between our world and the mythical, often dangerous, realm of Southern folklore.

Armed with a unique, hand-crafted needle and thread, your power is not to destroy, but to mend and bind. Confront living, breathing manifestations of folk tales and urban legends—from the sorrowful Haint Blue specters to the cunning, shapeshifting Rougarou. Unravel their stories, understand their pain, and use your thread to stitch closed the wounds they inflict upon the world. Explore a richly atmospheric and often surreal world, from misty bayous and sun-scorched fields to dilapidated plantation manors, all brought to life in a striking, painterly art style.

Key Features:

• The Weaver's Thread: Engage in a unique, third-person action system centered on binding and mending. Use your thread to traverse the environment, solve intricate puzzles, and pacify legendary creatures by literally stitching their broken narratives back together.

• A Living Tapestry of Folklore: This is not a museum of myths; it's an ecosystem. The creatures you encounter are deeply tied to the emotions and history of the land. Each "boss" is a tragic story to be understood and healed, not merely a monster to be slain.

• A Southern Gothic World: Immerse yourself in a meticulously crafted world inspired by the deep cultural tapestry of the American South. The world is a character itself, whispering its secrets through bluesy musical cues, dense atmosphere, and a cast of unforgettable characters.

• Unravel a Personal Mystery: Your journey is one of personal healing as much as it is of supernatural salvation. Piece together the truth behind your family's connection to the Weavers and the dark event that set these ancient forces loose upon Prosperity.

• A Hand-Stitched Aesthetic: Experience a world that looks and feels like a living painting, with a visual style that echoes the texture of folk art and the haunting beauty of the Southern landscape.

Some stories are too dangerous to be told. Some wounds are too deep to heal alone.
