The Chant is a perfect survival horror title with an exciting premise. Despite its technical limitations, it manages to hook you with various enemies and has an entertaining history. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3493153697 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3493154524

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.

Over all 7.9/10 Combat is simple but fun to master. The Talent system is one of the coolest systems out there, very unique. Make sure to backtrack!! Look around they hide stuff from you, but its not a hard search so have fun. Graphics are fairly ok, feels like premium indie quality. The Story is fine quality. If you play a lot of spooky games you will feel right at home here. and the DLC is free( DLC- The combat is much harder with a shake up on powers ) Over all 7.9/10 game. Awesome game to get this on sale.

This game was really cool. Definitely an interesting take on the survival horror genre. The main story is pretty short, only about 7 hours and that's with a lot of exploring. I would avoid paying full price but if its on sale its pretty good. It is a small budget indie title and it certainly felt that way at times, but this is overshadowed by the amount of love you can tell went into the game. There were only about 12 devs for this game so its pretty impressive what they were able to acomplish. The Story and atmosphere are really great, the highlights of the game for sure. The combat is janky but there is enough of a skill curve and rhythm too it that it remains entertaining for the full length of the game. If I had to pick a game to compare it too I would say the sinking city is a good comparison. Overall I would give it a solid 7/10 Not the most amazing game in the world but still really cool. I have not played the DLC yet so I cannot comment on that but I liked the main game enough that I will make sure I get to it soon

So, it may be this isn't for me, but as someone who enjoys horror games I feel the need to weigh in. This is a case of "I wish Steam had a middle of the road option" or something a little more in depth than yay or nay. The game has an interesting premise, with some interesting ideas. Immediately with the three bars for your Mind, Body and Spirit I was reminded of Eternal Darkness, which I loved, but it felt like I never had any issue with mind, while I was constantly starved for spirit, and other than making you run from a fight, mind never really seems to be an issue when drained, which I feel they could have learned from Eternal Darkness, assuming they took any inspiration, and made more scary psychadellic hallucinations when you have low mind, as opposed to the screen just draining of colour. The other thing is that I noticed on the Steam page it encourages you to pick your battles, because your resources are limited, which rings totally hollow for me because you are never really sure what rooms are important, if a room has resources you need, if you're going to be coming back to an area later so it may be worth battling enemies within the moment, because more than once I spot other doors that I can't do anything with now, which I assume I'll be coming back for later. Without any of this knowledge, 'picking your battles' is a frustrating task. The combat is passable, light attack, strong attack, different weapons for different enemies, but your weapons break constantly and you need to craft new ones using limited resources. The "magic" is interesting, but I found myself constantly out of spirit because the things to replenish it seem to be more rare than the resources to heal your mind or body. The whole package is pretty alright. The story and writing I can't comment on, it seems very cheesey and the voice acting can be a little weird, but I can enjoy that. If there is ever a second game or if the team makes another horror game, I hope this game made for a great learning experience, and that things could be tightened up and improved. Get the game on sale, and give it a try, maybe you'll vibe with it more than I did.
