South of Midnight dev was “aware of what it didn’t know” about the bayou

While I’ve fallen in love with many videogame creatures over the years - World of Warcraft’s murlocs, League of Legends’ poros - South of Midnight’s Benjy is truly one of my favorites. You'll encounter him in Chapter 3 of the upcoming action-adventure game, and while he isn't immediately recognizable, by the time the chapter has drawn to a close and all the puzzle pieces have come together, his story will have left an indelible impression on you. A young, neurodivergent boy left to die by his frustrated brother, and now transformed into something other, he plays a central role in setting the stage for a creature-driven narrative experience. While the overarching story is Hazel's, the game is full of unique personalities with tales all of their own.
