Last night, developer Compulsion unveiled its new game South of Midnight, and introduced us to its heroine, Hazel.
Hazel is a Weaver, a"magical mender of broken bonds and spirits". Compulsion has described her as"outwardly confident, wisecracking, and actively on the hunt". Hazel is also Black, something that narrative producer and creative specialist James Lewis lamented is"unfortunately... still pretty unique for video games".
"I think part of the trouble of having limited representation is that it can put a lot of pressure on any one character to represent every aspect of a culture," Lewis said."To tell the story of a Black woman in this setting creates another level of complexity that the team had to meet with curiosity and empathy."
"But she's unstoppable. And it's about her finding her footing and going out into the world to make it a better place."
