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. 🐊🎶 #SouthOfMidnight #CompulsionGames #BehindTheScenes #GameDev #Orchestra

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. 🫶
