    South of the Circle is underwhelming as a video game but excels as a storytelling device. The striking audiovisual presentation allows players to immerse themselves in the character of Peter in a way that a completely non-interactive medium simply wouldn’t be able to.

    Although it gives the false impression of being a “choices matter” game, South of the Circle is still an excellent narrative experience for those who enjoy games without puzzles. Even if the ending might be disappointing, the stunning graphics and fantastic soundtrack make it a game worth playing.
