I do find South of Midnight's choice of having a devil figure (Roux) being the one working for a mare-type being (kooshma) instead of the other way around.

Given devils are usually given more importance/rank than things like sleep paralysis/nightmare demons.

Granted our devil figure still has much more presence as a character than his boss.

SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT - KOOSHMA

I think I’ll do a mini-long post about South of Midnight! It’s sooo much to talk about!! Now that I’ve fully watched my fave’s completion of the game.

But first, I want to watch the walkthrough again with a handy dandy notebook and pen because it’s so much to write down (with my thoughts and to jot what the game has introduced me to etc.). This is an experience of a game—good ol game! So I’ll be rewatching more than once. [first watch I was in complete awe and mesmerized by the beauty visually and the look while also trying to make sure I paid attention. so the second watch will be with more intent to the history and storyline of Hazel and Hazel and her mom and her family history and the third time will be on an instructive watch to get the storytelling and history of the world they created and the aspect of all the characters and how they intersect with Hazel.]

Before I do…I just gotta say a quick thing.

Koushma (or Kooshma)! Them mentioning Kooshma! My childhood is all up in through this game! The research they dedicated to capturing Southern (Louisiana) folklore keeps impressing me. I was not expecting that!

Koosh-ma (like mah), not Koosh-muh [the mispronunciation of Kooshma was like sandpaper but that’s alright lol! it would fluctuate b/w characters saying it how I’ve always heard it said and the non-Southern way]

(🔗 to video)

I mean there are so many other nods to my childhood so yeah, I’ll do a post in the future! And in general for the game as a whole!

*btw yall hear Ms. Celestine’s country, Southern accent?! This is what I look forward to whenever a character is from Louisiana! She sounds just like my momma and auntie! Well, regional accents are very important to capture so I won’t generalize it but the catfish in the game did a real good job at getting the accent and dialect of the South! I’m pretty sure, without actually looking into it, the fictional town, Prospero, has to be inspirationally based in or close around Louisiana! The catfish’s accent is very southeast Louisiana.
