NEW ORLEANS – Two-Toed Tom, a legendary creature from Southern folklore, is brought to life in South of Midnight, an action-adventure game from Compulsion Games. To celebrate the release of the game, Xbox has recreated the infamous beast and placed him in a real, alligator-infested bayou, offering a one-of-a-kind gaming experience.
Players can register for a chance to visit and experience the immersive setup in Marrero, Louisiana, where the bayou’s eerie, gator-filled waters mirror the Southern-inspired setting of the game. The recreated Two-Toed Tom, a 40-foot-long beast, is a terrifying presence with jaws that stand open at almost twice the height of an average person. Inside his massive belly, players will find a 20-foot cabin, designed to mirror the home of Hazel, the protagonist of South of Midnight. The cabin contains four 50-inch screens connected to Xbox Series X consoles, allowing players to navigate the game’s perilous world from within this immersive environment.
The chance to see Tom in person is available through a limited registration process, with a tour led by Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours in Marrero, LA, on April 5. Spots are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis to those over the age of 18. Participants will need to provide their own transportation to the designated pickup spot. The tour offers an unforgettable look at the bayou’s dark magic, setting the stage for the game’s supernatural elements…
