The Chant

A single-player, third person horror action-adventure game set on a remote spiritual island retreat. To survive you must craft, fight, and escape the psychedelic horrors set loose when a spiritual ritual goes wrong and awakens a dimension of cosmic terror.

In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “creative combat and exploration” (35 of 79 reviews) and “cult lore and engaging stories” (35); the most common complaint is “persistent launch stuttering” (28). What reviewers agree on ↓
