Experience the spiritual nightmare of The Chant, a single-player, third person horror action-adventure game set on a remote island spiritual retreat. A peaceful weekend turns to dread after a group chant opens a psychedelic dimension of terror. Interact with a recurring cast of characters, untangle the complex history of the island, and witness terrifying revelations about the cosmos. To survive you must craft, fight, and escape the sinister legacy of a 1970s cult, and the interdimensional beings they unleashed. Only by unravelling the mysteries of Prismic Science and strengthening your mind, body, and spirit can you reverse the chant and escape the island. The Chant takes you on a thrilling journey into a new dimension of enlightenment and fear. Can you survive the cosmic terror?Top comment"It is a different premise than some point and click/ action adventure mashup game.

"this game was a trip, it was one of my favorite horror games ever. there were a lot of bugs through my playthrough but as i type this review they are patching most of the bugs. it is also on the shorter side but still a wonderful game start to finish. i highly recommend this for anyone who loved the dead space games, it has the same developer (Glen Schofield) behind it and you can see the same passion behind it"
