Prime Matter and Brass Token are looking back today at the story of The Chant, who have released a new story trailer for this.
When a ritual chant goes awry during a search for spiritual enlightenment, the group's negative energy at the Prismic Science Spiritual Retreat unleashes a dimension of cosmic terror, according to the story. To survive, protagonist Jess must uncover the secrets of a cult from both the past and present, while the other members of the group slowly succumb to madness at the hands of a swarm of parasitic creatures.
These demons exploit the deepest fears of the retreat's inhabitants: if the players don't carefully balance their body, mind, and soul, they will soon face certain death. The choice is: fight or flight? Only by choosing the right spiritual weapons and abilities will they be able to escape Glory Island alive.
To quote Mike Skupa, Creative Director:
"We want to surprise players with an odd mix of 1970s cult horror and new-age spirituality. As a boutique studio, we have the freedom to try new things, and with our first title, The Chant, we face new challenges every day."
The Chant It will be released later this year for PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
