What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

The Chant is a horror game with an interesting cult-themed story and unique mind/spirit-based combat mechanics that some players genuinely enjoy, but it's significantly hampered by poor optimization causing persistent stuttering and hitching, along with inconsistent gameplay and puzzle design that fails to enhance the narrative. Players are divided on whether the game is worth experiencing, with fans of horror and character-driven stories recommending it cautiously, while others warn that technical issues and gameplay problems make it difficult to recommend at full price.

https://youtu.be/kXTGnUquNUs Layering on systems and leveling onto of a horror story doesn't pay off to make the narrative any better.

There is no reason to buy/play this game gameplay is bad and the story is bad. I cant even finish the game i get a black screen. You have to turn off the internet to not get any stutter.

Hello, I hope you find this review helpful. Based on my experience with the game, I have to say that it does feature puzzles, though they aren't particularly strong. While the puzzles are interesting and fun, there are relatively few of them, and their design feels somewhat ordinary and uninspired. As for the gameplay itself, I really enjoyed it. Player opinions tend to be polarized—people either love it or dislike it—but overall, I liked the game. I recommend giving it a try at least once and supporting the developer. ❤️🔥

A very cool and interesting game. Great story, cult vibes are accompanied with a horror like atmosphere. If you like watching horror movies and want to be that character that is chased and have to fight off monsters, then this game is for you. I really like the mind/spirit mechanic that makes for a different game than just managing health. There is a lot of strategy when knowing when to use each ability. Trying to grind through will not work, but using the right ability makes it a lot easier. The different type of combat takes a little getting used to but it is a welcomed change. Highly recommended for fans of horror.

i may not have the best computer on earth but this game is optimized for crap. its nothing but constant hitching and its not worth getting through early game to see if it stops later on, returned the product and i wont be repurchasing most likely.

Laura Kearney literally carried this game, especially when she popped that girl who looks like she knows the crouching tiger by smashing her face into the mirror, oh laura end her again for me. If you love playing as REAL women who know how to kill hillbillies, werewolves and ofc whatever you call these things then you should definitely get this game

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
