Two-Toed Tom needed a full orchestra to make his jump scares even more terrifying.
So, we recorded South of Midnight’s OST with the London Contemporary Orchestra. Honestly? Worth it. 🐊🎶

🎭 Ready for a little shadow play?
Our very first game, Contrast, is 75% off on Steam until October 1. 👀
Lose yourself in the glow of the 1920s, where jazz, bittersweet stories, and secrets collide.

Haven’t played Contrast yet? It’s 75% off on Steam until Oct. 1. Also, a question we’ve been getting a lot lately 👀 Yes, Compulsion now owns the rights to South of Midnight, We Happy Few and Contrast. Buying our games directly supports the studio and helps fund what’s next. 🫶

Turns out making a tree move is… a lot of tiny movements. 🌳
Built by hand. Moved frame by frame. 🎞️
And yes, it took forever. 😅
