South of Midnight is the new game from Compulsion Games (We Happy Few) and the first since its acquisition by Microsoft. It's releasing on Xbox Series, PC and Game Pass on April 9. Surprised there's no thread already for this, so decided to make one.
Pitch: As Hazel, you will explore the mythos and encounter creatures of Southern folklore in a macabre and fantastical world. When disaster strikes her hometown, Hazel is called to become a Weaver: a magical mender of broken bonds and spirits. Imbued with these new abilities, Hazel will confront and subdue dangerous creatures, untangle the webs of her own family's shared past and - if she's lucky - find her way to a place that feels like home.
I've had the chance to go hands-on with this and I really enjoyed it. Adored the world and think the story has lots of promise. The stop-motion visuals are insanely good. The gameplay though, pretty stand action-adventure based on what I played but it's not bad in any way.
