South of Midnight
Character Overview: You assume the role of Hazel, a teenage track star living in Prospero, a Deep South town. Following a devastating hurricane that destroys her home and takes her mother within, Hazel embarks on a quest to locate and rescue her loved one. Unbeknownst to her, the storm has not only restructured the rural town and surrounding swampland into a hazardous playground but also released dormant dark magic, making this journey even more treacherous.
As Hazel navigates her way through this transformed landscape, she realizes that she is a weaver – a person with an innate ability to perceive the underlying connections that bind the world together and manipulate them into terrifying creatures when negative emotions like grief, anger, and fear converge in certain areas.
Equipped with unexpectedly sharp textile-spinning tools, Hazel’s search for her mother leads her to encounter various legendary spirits inspired by real-world myths. By uncovering the traumas that created them and attempting to capture those feelings in magical bottles for removal, she helps these entities while also solving another mystery – where or whom they belong to.
