The stellar atmosphere, with its music and art direction, added to the story of very likeable characters that Compulsion has always achieved well in their games. Each of their works feels special to me.
We need more games that have a sense of engaging world building. This is not a typical setting and I am highly interested in play. GOG is the only service I truly am interested playing on due to the DRM/Launcher-free option.
In the same way that director Ryan Coogler secured private ownership of Sinners (2025), such earnest Black American media as South of Midnight, offers Black gamers sorely needed affirmation and joy. Movies, music, and now games industries, each have their own sordid histories with dictating what media Black people should be 'allowed' to consume. South of Midnight is definitely one of those rare gems that Black gamers deserve to hold in their own hands, with no little white strings attached.
