How Long Are South of Midnight’s Chapters?

by

As a devoted admirer, let me share that “South of Midnight” doesn’t follow a uniform pattern when it comes to chapter length. Some chapters are significantly longer than others, even merging together in some instances. This unconventional approach might appear slightly inconsistent, but it plays a crucial role in maintaining the rhythm for each distinct aspect of the game’s narrative.

Despite some varied opinions about the game as a whole, its narrative stands out as one of its strongest aspects. Longer stages offer ample opportunity for combat and exploration, yet players can pause whenever desired without disrupting the mood or emotional impact – thanks to interludes of narrated storybook scenes between chapters that provide a recap.

All Chapters for South of Midnight

In all, South of Midnight’s narrative unfolds across fourteen distinct chapters. Certain charming stories within this game are contained within a single chapter, while others extend over several chapters.

As a gamer, if you find the stop-motion aspect of the game a bit too much to handle initially, don’t worry! You can easily adjust the settings and turn it off before diving into most of the gameplay experience. Enjoy your gaming journey at your own pace!
