Glory Island isn’t nearly as much fun as it sounds.

On Thursday, game publisher Prime Matter released The Chant for PS5, SeXbox and PC.

Developed by Brass Token, The Chant is a horror action adventure game with a psychedelic undertone and set in the supernatural environment of Glory Island.

Here’s the official breakdown of The Chant from Prime Matter followed by a launch trailer:

It’s time for Jess to pack her clothes, get in the boat and head to a remote island for her spiritual retreat. The Pacific Northwest coast is beautiful at this time of year. She goes in search of enlightenment, but things take an unexpected and terrifying twist. She must choose: Fight or flee?

Can Jess survive the unfolding horror, reverse the chaos and find her inner peace?

With a mix of survival action gameplay, character- and lore-driven storytelling, players will need to uncover the dark mysteries of the island’s past. Mind, Body and Spirit are at the center of The Chant and balancing these stats is key to survival and progress.

A colorful, psychedelic landscape surrounds players taking the role of Jess. To advance through The Chant’s unique and supernatural environment they’ll need to choose their battles carefully and fight for survival using spiritual abilities and weapons.

A spiritual combat system

The spiritual combat system allows players to collect and craft items they find on the island to create weapons like sage sticks and essential oils. Managing resources is key to survival. Should you take your chances in close combat — or succumb to panic and flee? When low on supplies or outnumbered, it’s sometimes best to run away.

Just don’t let the parasitic creatures on the island prey on your negative emotions — or they will become stronger.

The Chant is available now for PS5, SeXbox and PC.
