The Creatures
We never get a true glimpse at Hazel’s quarry in the trailer, but we see from her own drawing that it’s the Altamaha-ha, which – like all of South of Midnight’s supernatural threats – is based on real-life folklore from the Deep South. The rich cultural mix of the area, including European, Caribbean and African storytelling has led to a unique oral tradition that the game draws on for its unusual menagerie. Again, this is based on Sears’ own childhood in the area.
