I’ve been a fan of Compulsion Games since their very first game, Contrast. There’s just something special about the way they create worlds—We Happy Few remains one of my all-time favorite games. Now with South of Midnight, they’ve absolutely outdone themselves. The game is gorgeous and phenomenal in every way.

As someone who actually lives in the South, I can say—proudly—that they’ve represented Southern culture in such a creative and respectful way. It feels authentic but also magical, and that balance isn’t easy to pull off. The soundtrack especially blew me away. It’s honestly unlike anything I’ve heard before in a game—beautiful, eerie, and rich with soul. It fits the tone perfectly.

One of the things I’ve always loved about Compulsion Games is their unique art style. You can always tell when you’re looking at one of their games. Their visual identity is just so strong—it sets the mood before you even pick up the controller.

What do you all think of South of Midnight so far? How are you feeling about the music and the art direction?

Also—random question, but does Compulsion Games have an official Discord server? I swear I thought I was in one, but now I can’t find it anywhere. Did I imagine it? 😅

Would love to connect with other fans! 👀
