The setup

Wait, let me write this properly.

A weekend spiritual retreat on a remote island is the kind of premise that usually ends with someone finding themselves. In The Chant, it ends with someone finding a psychedelic hellscape instead. Brass Token’s third-person horror adventure takes the New Age wellness-retreat setup and curdles it: a group chant meant to align everyone’s energy accidentally tears open a dimension called The Gloom, and suddenly the island’s tie-dye aesthetic is bleeding into something a lot more hostile. The hook isn’t jump scares around every corner, it’s the slow unraveling of a 1970s cult’s history while the people you came here with start losing themselves to their own worst impulses.

How it plays

You’re navigating the island, talking to a small recurring cast as they crack under pressure, and piecing together what actually happened here decades ago. When the creatures from The Gloom show up, you’ve got a choice to make every time: stand and fight with makeshift spiritual weapons you craft from collected resources, or cut your losses and run. That resource management matters, because supplies aren’t unlimited and neither is your composure. The game leans on a three-part balancing act it calls Mind, Body, Spirit: your mental state determines how well you hold up against panic and horror, your body takes the physical hits, and your spirit is what lets you access the stranger, more supernatural options. Let any one of those slide too far and the other two start suffering for it.

Who it’s for

If you like horror games that make you think about resource conservation as much as combat, and you don’t need a huge roster of enemy types or elaborate systems to stay engaged, this is worth a look. The 1970s occult atmosphere and the electronic rock score do a lot of heavy lifting for mood, and if you’re into that particular flavor of psychedelic dread rather than straightforward jump-scare horror, it’s a good fit. It’s a single-player, story-driven experience, so anyone hoping for multiplayer or a long-tail live-service game should look elsewhere. Horror newcomers who scare easily might also want to sit this one out, since managing fear is literally a core mechanic here, not just flavor text.

Is it worth it?

This isn’t a forty-hour epic, it’s a focused narrative horror trip, and that’s exactly the kind of game that tends to shine on sale. Full price, it’s a reasonable ask for fans of the genre who want something with real atmosphere and a distinct visual identity. But if you’re the type who plays through a horror-adventure once for the story and doesn’t necessarily replay it, waiting for a discount is a completely sensible move. It’s the sort of title worth grabbing when it dips, then clearing in a weekend or two, the same kind of weekend the characters in the game probably wish they’d never signed up for.
