Playing through the exhilarating, third-person action-adventure game “South of Midnight” is an absolute delight due to its grandiose characters and fantastical settings that are reminiscent of southern gothic legends.

Hailing from the same developers as “We Happy Few” and “Contrast”, South of Midnight marks the debut project by Compulsion Games studio, now working under Xbox Game Studios.

The game South of Midnight showcases an explosive approach and intricate imagination that underscores the creative prowess of its developers. It is rich in information and folklore about the game’s characters and their world, which is conveyed through collectible tales known as readables.

Following this guide, you’ll use it as a navigational tool to gather and catalog all the items you need for your collection, specifically in the region known as South of Midnight.

Chapter 1

In the game Prospero, since it has a linear structure and chapters that unfold sequentially, most of the symbols, messages, and documents discovered by Hazel during her journey tend to appear on the primary travel route.

In all, you’ll discover 103 fascinating items that provide additional details about the characters and the universe where Hazel resides, serving as valuable lore resources.

There are a total of 103 pieces to collect, each offering deeper understanding into the stories and setting of the world inhabited by Hazel.

In the main menu of the game, you can opt to restart any chapter by picking ‘Load Game’ and then choosing ‘Chapter Replay’ from your stored files. The game consists of 14 different chapters, each one becoming accessible as you advance in the narrative, unlocking them sequentially.
