A realistic first-person action horror game that takes you into a dark fort overtaken by a mysterious entity. Unpredictable monsters, a visceral dismemberment system, cinematic immersion, environmental storytelling, and realistic physics create an atmosphere of relentless terror.
ILL is a realistic first-person action survival horror game that challenges even the most seasoned fans of the genre. The game plunges you into a grim world with an eerie, atmospheric story where every minute keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The game developers are horror experts and have experience working with well-known directors. Their work can be seen in various movies and series like Longlegs, Until Dawn, V/H/S/Beyond, It: Welcome to Derry, Azrael, and more. Now, the team is aiming to fulfill their dream and create a game that will claw its way into your consciousness and expose your true fears layer by layer.
The game immerses you in its tense narrative that unfolds at a huge research fort. A mysterious source of evil and the horrific Aberrations it generates stand in the way of the main character saving what’s most precious. ILL makes you feel every second of your struggle for survival.
Shown publicly for the first time since summer 2025, the new trailer marks a major milestone for the project and highlights the evolution of ILL’s world, atmosphere, and gameplay direction. It introduces several key story characters alongside various new Aberration types with disturbing designs and unpredictable behavior, while delivering a deeper look at ILL’s brutal combat, including its advanced dismemberment system and realistic weapon handling.
The footage additionally showcases a wider variety of locations and environments, ranging from claustrophobic interiors to larger exterior spaces, further expanding the scale of the game.
The new footage - captured on PlayStation 5 Pro -offers the most extensive look at the project so far, introducing new characters, horrifying monsters, advanced physics interactions, and new gory gameplay moments.
Max Verehin, Game Director of ILL and CEO of Team Clout, shared the following: “We are thrilled to finally announce our release window, and we are working tirelessly to deliver on our ambitious vision for players to enjoy. With this new trailer, we’re excited to not only showcase new types of terrifying monstrosities, but also begin introducing you to the game’s intriguing characters.”
Speaking on the collaboration, Mundfish CEO Robert Bagratuni, added: "ILL isn't just visually stunning, it redefines how real a horror game can feel. The mystery we’re beginning to unveil with this story trailer will pull players in just as deeply. We can't wait for players to experience it firsthand."
ILL pushes the limits of the genre with gory realism: grotesque monsters can be maimed and mercilessly torn to pieces. Shredded flesh, exposed bones, and eviscerated carcasses will make an unprecedented impression and shock you to the core. The binaural audio system amplifies the emotional impact, allowing you to feel the agony in every scream.
Enemies are unpredictable, and the realistic physics make the environment not just a backdrop but an active part of the gameplay, including when solving puzzles. Your actions can affect the monsters' behavior and trigger unexpected reactions; they react to their surroundings on impulse and exhibit disturbingly human-like reflexes.
You’ll feel the weight of every weapon in your hands with elaborate animations that reflect its unique physical properties. Accuracy alone isn’t enough—you’ll have to check your diverse arsenal for defects, modify your weapons, and upgrade them. Strategic inventory management is crucial to your survival. Your ability to create an item could determine the outcome of the battle.
ILL is slated for release on PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027.
