Not Many Games Feature Mythology From The Deep South Of The US

The vast majority of games prefer European mythology, with some ventures into Oriental myth but there’s a very small pool that take place in the deep south of the US.  This could make the upcoming release of  South of Midnight interesting for those looking for something new.  As an example, Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN spotted Huggin’ Molly, a legend from Abbeville, Alabama, in the latest trailer.

You play as a young woman named Hazel who gets pulled into a Southern Gothic world after a hurricane hits her home, sending it and her mother … somewhere.  The trailer looks to me a mix of Souls-like combat with a fair amount of cut scenes, so South of Midnight may not appeal to everyone but the milieu certainly makes it stand out in a very crowded market.
