Good introduction to Horror games for players new to the Genre - not too scary, has few jumpscare moments, but a creepy vibe. Good graphics and facial expressions. Story has some mystery to it and decent characters, so it's properly engaging. Combat medium difficulty - if you are careless, you can run into trouble, since there is limited inventory space for crucial items like healing. You should make use of your Upgrades in the menu and use the correct weapons and utilities against the corresponding enemies. I'm not sure if I didn't pay enough attention to instructions, but I didn't use Upgrades the majority of the game and also used the wrong weapons and utilities for half of the game, but I still managed well. It's possible to speedrun the game under 4 hours since you can just run past most enemies. My 10 hr playthrough was definitely too long since I tried to manage situations better and replayed them. Also I ran into a bug where an elevator didn't work and I had to cap my fps to 60 for that section and replay the Chapter. Later I thought I ran into another bug, so I replayed that Chapter as well, but turned out I was at the wrong spot to continue since the game instructions at that point were obtuse. After all it is a decent game and for 2,50€ when it's on sale not a bad pickup.

For anyone experiencing stutters each second, go to the game folder and execute "Chant.exe", the game will start without stutters, it's a good game though

Tl;dr: A generally fun horror experience that is carried by great atmosphere, great worldbuilding and good (and not annoying) puzzles. The clunky combat and at places lacking characters drag it down. A good purchase if you get it on sale, underwhelming when you pay full price. I am a casual gamer that enjoys immersive experiences, and The Chant delivers this. Especially the worldbuilding is really good with lots of lore scattered throughout the game in easily digestible chunks. The world feels alive, and the atmosphere is great. I struggled a bit with the clunky combat, feedback isn't great and it's hard to gage when you actually can hit something or something can hit you. Also, most abilities feel pretty useless. The puzzles on the other hand are fun. Definitely not challenging, but also not annoying - it's giving you an opportunity to see more of the well designed world and to learn more about it. I didn't like the writing of most characters, they felt pretty bland to me. The main character is okay, and two of the characters you meet actually have some depth, but they are not special or elegant in their delivery. All in all a good experience. But I would wait for a sale to actually buy it.

This is one of my favorite games of 2022. Brass Token put their heart and passion into this game and it was stunning. It gives some Silent Hill vibes mixed with a creepy cult, and some heart. I appreciate the addition of the panic meter, as someone who suffers with panic disorder it was really relatable. My favorite parts: The graphics/environments are amazing and unique. I appreciate both the island exploration and the Gloom exploration. The combat mechanics are fun and easy to use, and feel like the character would use the items in the manner she does. The enemies are unique and fun to interact with. The voice acting was top notch. THE FREE DLC was a welcomed departure from the original game, with its rogue like mechanics and amazing level design. My least favorite parts: The way we earn different endings can be difficult and confusing. It's easy to earn the same ending every time. I wish there were more costume customization that could act as armor against some enemies. The swarm creature that constantly hunts you is a resource waster and bothered me. This game is a modern classic that everyone should play and enjoy. I can't wait to see what Brass Token does next.

Played for about 3 hours. Pretty good so far. Decent survival horror based on "New Age" type mysticism combined with Lovecraft style horror, which isn't something I've ever seen before. A breath of fresh air for a survival horror genre that's been stagnating. More "Silent Hill" than "Resident Evil". It reminds me a little of playing D2 back on the dreamcast.
