Psychedelic Horror Game The Chant Receives New Teaser Trailer

gamerant.com:

Back at E3 2021, The Chant was announced from developer Brass Token and publisher Prime Matter of Koch Media. Described as a «psychedelic action horror,» The Chant follows themes of cosmic horror and spirituality as a third-person action-adventure title set in a remote island retreat that has connections to a 1970s new-age cult.

In The Chant, the eponymous rhythmic phrase backfires in some fashion and results in the psychedelic horrors that players face. Prepped with a release window of 2022, The Chant's survival horror might be set to make a big splash this year still. Recently, The Chant has received a new teaser trailer that depicts all the hallucinogenic and nightmarish imagery players may expect from a spiritual cult retreat.

The Chant's teaser trailer, which comes from PlayStation's official account, offers a brief look at what seems like an idyllic island with a peculiar dome structure where individuals gather. Having arrived with the goal of enlightenment, different characters come together on a spiritual journey in similar white outfits before candles on the floor. The tease shows easily missable flashes of eerie imagery if fans blink, such as a humanoid figure with antlers, although only instances of psychological horror are identified in this cinematic teaser.

Characters are aware that a group in the 70s was here before them, which may imply that there are cultish underpinnings to the retreat and the island itself. Further, events become truly horrific when an ethereal presence from another dimension is introduced, dubbed the Gloom, that starts to affect the visitors and their realities. Not much is shared about The Chant's protagonist,
