Fixed issue in chapter 2 cannery fight that causes characters to get stuck after being smashed into a table.
Fixed an issue during the reflector puzzle on the island in Chapter 4 where certain gloom areas became accessible without connecting the reflectors, which caused progression blockers if a checkpoint further along was triggered.

Behind the Music and Sound with Paul Ruskay
Greeting spiritualists,
Today we’re giving you a deeper insight into the immersive soundscapes of The Chant, featuring Audio Director Paul Ruskay and Creative Director Mike Skupa, ahead of our upcoming release on November 3rd!
Paul Ruskay has been a leading audio producer of music and sound design for the video game, film and advertising industries for the past 26 years. Knowing well how to invoke horror, Paul has been deeply influenced by cult horror classic soundtracks from the 70s.
Human beings respond to fear in a physical way, particularly when playing a horror game, so we want our music and sound design to really bring your experiences on Glory Island to life. Paul Ruskay’s approach was to pay homage to the classics of the 70s and 80s, utilising analogue instruments to stay true to the game’s natural, spiritual setting, while also keeping things feeling fresh through dynamic effects and creature sounds.
Find out more about The Chant by following our socials, and get ready to begin your spiritual journey on November 3rd!
What if opening your third eye through spirituality would actually lead to something extremely dangerous?
In the first of our series of Reels featurettes, the team at Brass Token talk about their approach to creating the element of fear within the game, from character animations, colour and lighting to immersive and dynamic soundscapes.
Make sure you're following us on social media to be the first to know when new information drops, and prepare your mind, body and spirit for The Chant's launch on November 3rd!
