As if the Halloween season wasn’t getting spooky enough with all the horror games announced and revealed in the last few months, new titles are constantly surfacing on various platforms. Today is the turn to talk about The Chant, a single-player, third-person horror action-adventure game brought by Publisher Prime Matter and developer Brass Token.

The game is due for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on November 3. Luckily, a new overview gameplay trailer was revealed today by Prime Matter and Brass Token. So check out what’s coming with The Chant!

Here is an overview of the game via Prime Matter (thanks, Gematsu!):

A single-player, third-person horror action-adventure game set on a remote island spiritual retreat. A peaceful weekend soon turns to dread after a group chant opens The Gloom, a psychedelic dimension of terror that feeds off negative energy. Interact with recurring characters, untangle the island's complex history, and witness terrifying revelations about the cosmos. Only you can fight off the creatures, reason with the survivors, and unravel the legacy of a cult from the 1970s to reverse the ritual.

Key Features

  • Explore an Island Filled with Cosmic Dread – Interact with the other retreat members as they slowly become consumed by their negative energy. Survive against an array of prismatic creatures and cultists released from The Gloom as you piece together the weird history of the island.
  • Fight or Flight – You must choose your struggles and battle for survival with spiritual weapons and abilities. Collect, craft, and manage your resources to take your chances in close combat—or succumb to panic and flee.
  • Mind Body Spirit – Balance is everything. Steel your mind against horror and panic; Protect your body against physical threats; Elevate your spirit to meditate and access supernatural abilities.
  • Modern Psychedelic Horror – Inspired by the psychedelic horror of the 1970s, experience a landscape of colored lighting and an electronic rock soundtrack composed by the award-winning Paul Ruskay.
