Rumored Xbox Handheld Has Been Hinted At Again, And It Might Be Revealed Soon
Xbox licensed handheld console might be coming soon as a new teaser could suggest.
South of Midnight‘s explosive style and intricate vision are a testament to the creativity of the people behind this game, containing a host of knowledge and lore about the game’s characters and the world they live within, told through collectible lore pages called readables.
This guide will serve as your compass in tracking down and collecting all the readables to fill your collections inventory in South of Midnight.
Chapter 1
Because of the game’s linear nature and chapter progression, many of the glyphs, notes, and pages found throughout Prospero are found along the main path in Hazel’s adventure.
There are a total of 103 collectible readables which give further insight into the lore of the characters and the world Hazel finds herself within.
You can replay every chapter in the game by choosing Load Game in the Main Menu and selecting Chapter Replay under your saved file. The game has 14 chapters, which will be unlocked sequentially as you progress through the story.
