South of Midnight v1.3.0 just dropped, and it brings some solid accessibility wins! - Tons of menu narration fixes - Added subtitles for Kooshma's Cabaret show (Roux's song) - You can now pet the dog in Chapter 5 ❤️🐕 We love to see it!

Accessibility update in South of Midnight. Lot of fixes for Screen Reader! Plus pet the dog is an accessibility feature. Sorry that's just how it is lol.

Weavers: Update 1.3.0 is now live! In this update, we've addressed a number of bugs and, thanks to popular demand, added a Pet the Dog mechanic! You can now pet both of Beaux's bloodhounds (who are gentlemen, BTW) in Chapter 5 🐕 Read the full patch notes: steamcommunity.com/app/1934570/...

To all the dads out there—near, far, or in our hearts—Happy Father's Day!

@compulsiongames.bsky.social, last night I reached the Crossroads in South of Midnight, and I gotta say: I loved the little shout-outs/references to the Yoruba Orisha in the signposts. I saw Shango, Yemoja, Oya (my fave), Oshun, and Obatala. Also loved how secretly on-the-nose Ayotunde's name was!

I'm delighted from this cute bird Rougarou from South of Midnight #art #fanart #southofmidnight #scary #creepy #horror

Finally got around to finishing my sketch of Hazel, I love her so much ❤️‍🩹 #southofmidnight #fanart #sketch #hazel

Catfish complimenting Hazels new clothes by asking if she got a promotion at the Piggly Wiggly is the most specific Southern US thing I've ever seen in a video game. It made me laugh! #SouthofMidnight

Fun combat & platforming, elevated by a GORGEOUS art style & wonderful music! A game that will definitely put a smile on your face. #SouthOfMidnight @compulsiongames.bsky.social

I think Crouton from #southofmidnight and the burnt one from the #themidnightwalk would be best friends!

Her design is adorable so I drew her full Mermaid from South of Midnight #art #fanart #southofmidnight #mermaid
