On this episode of Spawn On Me, Kahlief Adams sits down with writer and critic Sam DeLong for an in-depth conversation about South of Midnight — the game that’s redefining Southern Gothic storytelling in the world of action-adventures. From its bold art style and unique setting to its themes of identity, grief, and folklore, we break down what makes this game so special.

We explore the creative risks Compulsion Games took, how the story resonates with diverse players, and what the game gets right (and wrong) about Southern representation. Whether you’ve played the game or are still on the fence, this episode gives you a richer understanding of why South of Midnight is sparking such meaningful conversation.
