About

South of Midnight is a 2025 action-adventure title from Compulsion Games that blends modern storytelling with folklore and mythology. The game invites players to explore the Deep South while uncovering mysteries surrounding ancient powers and confronting supernatural creatures tied to your character's traumatic past. It's a narrative-driven experience that emphasizes weaving magical abilities to solve puzzles and overcome environmental challenges.

The game is reasonably accessible for most gaming PCs. You'll want at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 7478 to hit playable framerates, paired with 12GB of RAM and a CPU scoring approximately 606. This means mid-range graphics cards from recent generations should deliver solid FPS performance on medium to high settings without demanding top-tier hardware, making it friendly for mainstream PC benchmarking purposes.

With a 76/100 rating, South of Midnight delivers a compelling experience for players interested in story-focused action games and Southern Gothic atmosphere. If atmospheric storytelling and supernatural adventures appeal to you, this 2025 release offers good value without requiring a high-end GPU for enjoyable performance.

Performance profile

April 2025 release. As a current-generation title, South of Midnight pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

South of Midnight is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in South of Midnight. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.

Storyline

A DARK MODERN FOLKTALE When a hurricane rips through Prospero, Hazel is pulled into a Southern Gothic world where reality and fantasy are interwoven, and ancient creatures from folklore emerge. In this coming-of-age adventure, Hazel journeys forth to rescue her mother and delves into a haunting web of folklore and family secrets, untangling her own identity.
