The Chant Direct Download
A SPIRITUAL NIGHTMARE A single-player, third person horror action-adventure game set on a remote island spiritual retreat. A peaceful weekend soon turns to dread after a group chant opens The Gloom, a psychedelic dimension of terror that feeds off negative energy. Interact with a recurring cast of characters, untangle the complex history of the island, and witness terrifying revelations about the cosmos. Only you can fight off the creatures, reason with the survivors, and unravel the legacy of a cult from the 1970s to reverse the ritual. EXPLORE AN ISLAND FILLED WITH COSMIC DREAD Interact with the other members of the retreat as they slowly become consumed by their own negative energy. Survive against an array of prismatic creatures and cultists released from The Gloom as you piece together the weird history of the island. You must choose your fights and battle for survival with spiritual weapons and abilities. Collect, craft, and manage your resources to take your chances in close combat – or succumb to panic and flee.
Protagonist Jess is invited to a spiritual retreat by her friend Kim, in the hopes of recovering from a severe trauma of her past and finding clarity. What initially looks like a new-age, hippie shenanigan soon turns much darker, as ancient and obscure rituals make their way in the commune’s everyday life. Unsurprisingly, fiddling with poorly-understood spirit-channeling crystals isn’t the safest outdoor activity, someone loses composure and everything goes to absolute crap. The idyllic island is transformed into a Stranger Things-esque mish-mash of clashing dimensions, and Jess will have to survive through it. Generally each environment is crafted with care and looks good, however the quality isn’t always consistent. A highlight are the dimensional rifts, each inspired to one of the ritual members’ emotions and past experiences, that truly feel like walking in someone else’s nightmare – while Jess’ own traumas also make their way in. The creatures that roam the island range from quasi-human to completely otherworldly, as the inhabitants of a yet-unknown dimension should be; great job in portraying this difference. Expect a terrifying and mysterious world that changes at every turn.
The Chant Direct Play:
The island is divided in several areas, most of which are locked-out initially, and accessible only when you’ll obtain the correct pendants to cross the color-coded dimensional rifts, or find key items to unlock doors and passages or shortcuts in the “real” world. The layout is semi-open but generally linear, with a main path dotted with small secondary areas that contain lore, additional resources but also more threats at times – there’s no map, some orienteering is needed. Later on fast travel is unlocked but this mechanic feels redundant, as the world isn’t so big and backtracking on foot may lead to additional resources you’d skip with fast travel. In a light survival-horror fashion, inventory is heavily limited in how many resources you’re able to carry, be them crafting implements, weapons or consumables. You may very well have to leave something behind due to the lack of space, but in most cases you’ll be able to go back for it later. Each item has its own category so there’s no need to drop anything to pick something else up, and critical items occupy no space at all either. These items may be combined to solve puzzles, like making an alchemical solution following a recipe or crafting a metal shape to unlock doors, to name a few. There are several puzzles, most of which are unique and well-designed.
