Brass Token and Prime Matter return with a fresh trailer that dives into the darker side of a mysterious cult and teases melee combat in The Chant, a third person action adventure. The trailer confirms the game’s release window and announces it will be available on November 3 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
A short time earlier, the developer revealed Jessica Briar as the central figure. Portrayed by Siobhan Williams, Jessica Briar receives an invitation from her friend Kim Mallari, played by Kira Clavell, to join a spiritual retreat on a secluded island. Jessica is eager to escape the pressures of city life and the demanding rhythm of her career for a few restorative days.
Kim has long anticipated a chance to retire, a dream sparked after hearing Tyler Anton, a character portrayed by Adam Millard, discuss the idea at one of his seminars. Since becoming his student, she has felt a newfound sense of vitality. Hannah Wilson, brought to life by Emily Tennant, greets the retreat with bright expectations and serves as Tyler’s right hand for the months ahead. Maya Kalani, voiced by Nicole Anthony, travels to the island believing this retreat could mark the first step in addressing past wounds and pursuing genuine healing. As they walk the island paths, Tyler’s piercing gaze meets Maya’s pain and quietly leads her toward a calmer future. He carries a distinct spirit and energy that others sense as soon as they encounter him.
What unfolds on the Isle of Glory?
The Chant unfolds on a remote island where a group ritual spirals into encounters with cosmic horrors. On the sunlit shores of the Isle of Glory, nothing is quite what it seems. A clandestine sect has been conducting dark rituals since the 1970s, tapping into the energy of crystalline prisms to rupture the veil and open a spiritual portal into deeper gloom.
The player’s mission is to pursue spiritual enlightenment while navigating a journey that is intended to be deeply transformative. Yet the deeper truth reveals a layered and unsettling story, populated by terrifying beings that must be confronted with a mix of secret weapons, hidden abilities, and strategic thinking. Across the island, multiple characters reveal their motives for joining the retreat and the personal histories that push them forward. The experience is designed as an intricate, interconnected voyage that tests the strengths and exposes the weaknesses of everyone involved in the retreat, inviting players to learn how each choice reshapes the path ahead.
The Chant promises players a narrative that evolves with their decisions, offering different angles on the same events. As the world on the Isle of Glory grows more unstable, the line between ally and foe blurs. Skillful combat, environmental puzzles, and the use of arcane artifacts all play a part in how the story unfolds. By exploring the island, players witness the consequences of ambition, belief, and the longing for escape from pain. The experience aims to blend intense action with psychological horror, creating a sense of immersion that lingers long after the island is left behind. Each character carries their own secrets, and each scene invites a closer look at the personal costs of seeking transcendence in a world where reality and ritual intersect at every turn.
