The Chant is a third-person psychological horror game that focuses on atmosphere, storytelling, and spiritual themes rather than constant combat. The story follows Jess, a young woman who joins a peaceful spiritual retreat on a remote island, hoping to heal from personal trauma. What begins as a meditative escape quickly turns into a nightmare when a ritual goes wrong, opening a gateway to a nightmarish dimension known as the Gloom.
Players must survive by exploring the island, uncovering dark secrets about the cult-like group, and managing both physical and mental health. Sanity plays a major role, as fear and panic weaken the protagonist and affect gameplay. Combat exists but is limited, encouraging players to rely on evasion, crafting spiritual items, and environmental awareness.
The island is filled with disturbing creatures inspired by cosmic and psychological horror, as well as environmental puzzles that deepen the sense of isolation. The narrative unfolds through exploration, dialogue choices, and hidden lore, leading to multiple endings. With its strong emphasis on mood, psychological tension, and spiritual horror, The Chant offers a unique and unsettling experience for fans of story-driven survival horror games.
