Press release:
(3 November 2022).
The Munich-based (Germany) indie games publisher Prime Matter and Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Brass Token, today announced with great excitement and happiness that their third-person horror action-adventure game “The Chant”, is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and the Xbox One) via digital stores.

It´s time for Jess to pack her clothes, get in the boat and head to a remote island for her spiritual retreat. The Pacific Northwest coast is beautiful at this time of year. She goes in search of enlightenment, but things take an unexpected and terrifying twist. She must choose: Fight or flee?

Can Jess survive the unfolding horror, reverse the chaos and find her inner peace?

The Chant is a cosmic horror-action-adventure game. With a mix of survival action gameplay, character- and lore-driven storytelling, players will need to uncover the dark mysteries of the island’s past. Mind, Body and Spirit are at the center of The Chant and balancing these stats is key to survival and progress.

A colorful, psychedelic landscape surrounds players taking the role of Jess. To advance through The Chant’s unique and supernatural environment they’ll need to choose their battles carefully and fight for survival using spiritual abilities and weapons.

A spiritual combat system

The spiritual combat system allows players to collect and craft items they find on the island to create weapons like sage sticks and essential oils. Managing resources is key to survival. Should you take your chances in close combat — or succumb to panic and flee? When low on supplies or outnumbered, it’s sometimes best to run away.

Just don´t let the parasitic creatures on the island prey on your negative emotions — or they will become stronger.

The Chant´s soundtrack has been created by the renowned composer Paul Ruskay, adding a 70s horror-folklore vibe that perfectly conveys the supernatural experience, adding a rich soundscape throughout the game.

“We’re deeply excited to release our first game and we hope others enjoy all the care and curiosity our team put into it”, Mike Skupa, Creative Director of The Chant.

Welcome to your spiritual nightmare!

The Chant is a cosmic horror-action-adventure game developed by Brass Token and published by Prime Matter, launching today on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.

The Chant is playable on NVIDIA GeForce NOW — giving gamers instant access to GeForce PC performance, on nearly any PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, Android, iOS device or Chromebook without any downloads.
