The Chant

Full of bugs, atleast on my system. Run the .exe file in the game folder to get rid of the stuttering. But its not realy wort it..

I was skeptical at first due to the mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it. It's like a low-budget Resident Evil with melee combat. The boss fights are decent and I really enjoyed the final chapter + boss. For some reason the performance is really choppy when you load the game but after 10-15 minutes it seems to correct itself. It's very short and can be beaten in under 4 hours (achievement for this), so I would only recommend the game on sale.

Fun little game. A mix of Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil with an essoteric twist. Just imagine this remastered with the RE Engine and production value. Potential.

I think its great. It exists in the same space as the callisto protocol in that care was taken to make it look nice, and the melee combat is a very simple matter of swinging a stick, sidestepping and using an ability here and there. The lore is interesting, being about abuse of power and greed in a cult setting. But the on screen story, while visually interesting, doesnt have a lot going on. The characters are mostly flat and entirely defined by their big life trauma. Each character pretty much has a chapter dedicated to them, where they are the person sending you on the fetch quest to collect the mcguffin to continue the story, giving you a new ability, and they always end up being a boss. It has an open level design, with sections gated off by the "gloom" which you need prisms to enter. This is more like a key to a lock than metroidvania style ability gating, although you do gain new abilities with the prisms. But abilities are more for combat flavor than map progression. All in all its a comfy, linear game with good pacing and atmosphere and engaging enough combat, progression, and story. The dlc is a great little showcase of the core mechanics of the game without too much sto…

The game runs at 5 to 10 FPS and I am unable to fix this.

Nice!!!
