"I was in my house and my daughter was literally pulling at me, and then my phone started ringing,"
"On the phone was my manager, and he goes, 'I just want to tell you, you're nominated for a Golden Joystick,' and I said, 'Oh my god, that's so awesome.'"
""It's so exciting and fun and it's just an honor," she says. "I'm so grateful. It's wonderful.""
South of Midnight fuses Cajun and Creole folklore with Southern Black and Gullah fables into a third-person action narrative. The game centers on culture, ancestry, grief, trauma, and an intense mother-daughter love between Lacey Flood and her daughter Hazel. Voice performances drive emotional resonance across the cast, with Adriyan Rae’s portrayal of Hazel singled out for particular praise. Rae received a first-ever Golden Joystick Awards nomination for Best Lead Performer and reacted with surprise and gratitude when notified. Personal connections to Cajun culture amplify the game’s authenticity and emotional impact.
