South of Midnight, the new game coming from We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games, made an appearance at today's Xbox Direct showcase to reveal more about its "darkly magical world" set in the Deep South of the US. Also revealed is the release date: It's set to come out on April 8.

South of Midnight's game world looks great, and while the dodge-roll-strike rhythm of the soulslike-style combat is a central part of the experience, it's the potential of the story that I find more interesting. It [[link]] gives me a bit of a Pathless vibe—which, for the record, I loved. Boss battles really aren't my thing, but I got over it for The Pathless and I'm willing to give it a shot for South of Midnight, too.

South of Midnight on PC [[link]] is available for wishlisting now on Steam.

The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
