Project Brief
The Chant is a single-player, third person survival horror action-adventure game set on a remote spiritual island retreat. To survive you must craft, fight, and escape the psychedelic horrors set loose when a spiritual ritual goes wrong and awakens a dimension of cosmic terror. It was published by Prime Matter and developed by Brass Token.
My contribution as the UI designer
Developed in-game lore content, including illustrations and projector reels for characters' backgrounds, creatures, and environments.
Designed achievement icons for multiple platforms, including Steam, Xbox, and PS5.
Contributed to motion capture sessions for the main character, aiding in creating lifelike movements and interactions within the game environment.
Produced reel videos using Premiere Pro to showcase promotional materials from the 70s cult.
Collaborated closely with Environment Artists, Game Designers, Producers, Art Directors, and Engineering teams to integrate visual elements seamlessly into the overall game experience.
Game Lore
The following are some illustrations for the game's bestiary, which captures the characteristics of various creatures within the game world. I also crafted detailed notes to accompany the drawings, providing players with additional insights into the lore and behaviour of the depicted creatures.
As part of the game lore, I created reel videos in Premiere Pro to show the cult's promotional videos in the 70s, following the vintage projector style to match the game's theme. Below is an example of 1 out of 9 projector reels in the game.
Game Icons + HUD
The following are examples of the HUD and icons I designed for the game, focusing on their readability, functionality, and aesthetics.
Achievement icons for Steam, Xbox, and PS5.
