Mundfish Powerhouse, the team behind Atomic Heart, has announced a new game called ILL. This first-person survival horror experience from Team Clout takes place in a dark, abandoned fortress filled with a mysterious entity. Players can expect unexpected monsters, a detailed dismemberment system, and realistic physics to create a chilling atmosphere.
Revealed during the Summer Game Fest, Team Clout promises ILL will test even the most experienced horror fans. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game’s physics allow for graphic monster mutilation. To heighten the experience, a binaural audio system will make players feel every scream and cry for help.
The ILL reveal trailer showcases an interactive environment where gameplay seamlessly combines combat, puzzles, and exploration. Your choices will influence monster behavior. Team Clout has included detailed animations that correspond with each weapon’s unique characteristics. Players will need to keep track of their weapons, checking for malfunctions and applying upgrades as they delve deeper into the fortress.
The development team behind ILL has a strong resume in the horror genre. They’ve worked on acclaimed films and series like V/H/S/Beyond and IT: Welcome to Derry. Their extensive experience suggests that ILL will offer a cinematic experience while delivering true survival horror.
ILL is set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, though a release date hasn’t been announced yet. In the meantime, it may be worth exploring other horror games to keep your adrenaline pumping.
