The air thickens, the world goes quiet.

In combat, there’s no time to look twice… but here’s your chance to study South of Midnight’s most haunting foes, the Haints.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the feral beauty of the Rougarou. 🧶🧵

When you’re running for your life, it’s easy to miss the craftsmanship behind this creature - inspired by Cajun legend, reimagined by our team. 🦉

Let’s take a moment to marvel at the haunting details of Huggin’ Molly. 🕷️🕸️

It’s easy to miss the details when you’re in the middle of a fight - but the team poured a lot of love (and a bit of fear) into bringing her to life. 🔍

Restoring the Grand Tapestry means reweaving what’s broken—and sometimes, that makes for some truly stunning patterns. Of the six belonging to our creatures, which is your favorite?

Noticed the familiar-looking figures on Mrs. Pearle’s windowsill? We call that ✨foreshadowing✨

(Bonus points if you spotted the magnets on Hazel’s fridge, too)

South of Midnight's been out for a few months now, so we figured it’s the perfect time for more Easter eggs:

As you make your way up to the old abandoned church, you can find some special headstones engraved with names of some of the art team (who are all very much still alive and well, promise!)
