There's Two-Toed Tom, the giant alligator with an insatiable hunger, Huggin Molly, a spider-like woman who steals children, and the Rougarou, a fierce and fast bird-like creature, to name just a few of South of Midnight's biggest threats.

South of Midnight is far from a bad game.

South of Midnight's story takes players on a fairly brisk quest to save player-character Hazel's mother, who gets swept away in a flood right at the beginning of the game. That quest puts Hazel in front of an array of fantastical creatures and monsters, the vast majority of which are inspired by Deep South American folklore. The Honey Island Swamp Monster and Altamaha-ha are two such folklore-inspired beings.

South of Midnight opens with player-character Hazel packing her things in the middle of a major storm. Hazel is soon joined by her mother, Lacey, who asks her to check on the neighbors. While Hazel is doing just that, her home is swept away in a flood, with her mother trapped inside. Hazel chases after her mother but falls into the water and loses sight of her as she's swept downstream.
