ILL Is the Next Big Survival Horror Experience – Brutal, Bloody, and Intense

ILL is a game supported by Mundfish Powerhouse but published and developed by an indie studio, Team Clout. Mundfish was very busy at Summer Games Fest, with a variety of different games in the works. As I have said many times in the past, indie horror is really dominating the industry lately, with games that push the boundaries of what the genre can be. This game may be one of the most brutal of all, though, with blood, gore, and dismemberment around every corner.

In ILL, players will find themselves in a research fort, with nothing but terrifying zombie-like monsters at every corner. Aside from the regular blood and gore known to this type of survival horror, players will also face dismemberment mechanics that are as intriguing as they are horrifying. Body parts slither through piles of blood and gore as you work your way through the labyrinth of a research facility. Apparently, your goal is to recover something that “means the most to you”. I really hope it is worth it.

Final Thoughts

ILL should truly inspire horror fans looking for the next brutal survival game. Its inspiration is obvious, but there are enough unique spins to make the game feel fresh even for diehards of the horror genre. There was a brief concept clip of the game back in 2021, but finally, fans get a full look. Although no release date has been announced yet, it will be available for PS5 and Steam, and can already be added to your Steam wishlist. Just make sure your heart is up to the task!
