South Of Midnight
South Of Midnight goes a bit more of the stop motion to offer up more of the “feel” South Of Midnight is giving
It looks like we are going to be getting a whole lot of mood out there for South Of Midnight just before it launches on the Xbox Series X|S and PC. Just in case we all did not have a feel for what Compulsion Games was going for from all of the trailers and little bits of gameplay we have had before. With April 8th not too far off, seeing how the game is going to function is usually the better idea for those looking to pick it up. That is not what we have here today, as we have a new stop motion video for South Of Midnight to help set the tone and “feel” of the game. All in a little collaboration with Clyde Henry Productions and music reimagined by Kid Koala, all to sell us more on why we should be playing this game soon.
All in all, this is just a bit of marketing for South Of Midnight and does not feel like it is offering up anything in the way of what the final product will be. Sure, it can be fun to have all of this, but is there even a point? The look and feel of the game could have been completed while also giving us some new gameplay to look at and enjoy. This usually is a red flag to me for video games as it leaves what we are going to get obfuscated behind all of the glamor of the work of others. Not to mention, this does not even give me the same feel and mood of the gameplay we have seen for South Of Midnight already. It is just another odd way to go about selling us all on a video game while not offering us up much else. Have a look and see for yourself if this is going to scratch the need for this one or if it is going to be a look at how the marketing team is wasting funds that could have gone into the development.

Pre-Order South Of Midnight now!
Will you still be pre-ordering South Of Midnight based on the gameplay you have had before or did you need this weird marketing bit to sell you on it all? Did you get a different mood and tone from this video than we have had in all of the gameplay and story videos we have had before now? Will we actually get to see any true gameplay here before next week or will we all be left to wonder how much that is all controlled to sell the game more than truly represent it? Stop on down in the comment section to discuss all of this and everything else we have going on out there. If we get more for South Of Midnight, we will share it with you here. Please keep on checking back in for all of that and everything else that we have on the way to you all out there. Maybe we will get to see more of the actual game and not just the marketing around it.
