The Chant not only fills a current hole in the horror action-adventure genre, but also manages to bring an original take on the genre thanks to the story and themes it opens up. The authors do not want to confirm or refute the effects of esotericism, but point out that in certain cases it is a double-edged sword.

For fans of psychological games and games like Silent Hill or The Evil Within, The Chant is the perfect choice. However, it's not something that appeals to a broader audience.

The Chant demonstrates how the indie world is fertile ground for experimentalism in the survival horror theme. Brass Token inaugurates its debut with a bold product, somewhere between the suggestions of a taut, well-structured plot and openings toward a more action-oriented balance at the expense of survival. Paradoxically, the title's resourcefulness prevents it from fully focusing on its playful components, ending up as an enjoyable but not unmissable experience. A fluctuating technical compartment and an all too modest duration make it a title suitable primarily for horror fans who are nevertheless open to the more “eventful” hybridization of the action genre.

The Chant takes survival horror to the beach and beyond in a game that works in fits and starts.

The Chant is a promising start for new development team, Brass Token. Its premise on the most basic level might not be something unheard of, but the way that it’s implemented and explored is quite original. I was impressed by the diversity of the enemy designs and the efficient use of a relatively small map.
