Mundfish Powerhouse, the publishing division responsible for Atomic Heart, has unveiled ILL, a chilling new first-person survival horror experience from developer Team Clout. Set within the decaying walls of a forsaken fortress overrun by an unknown terror, the game plunges players into a world where grotesque creatures lurk in the shadows. With its emphasis on realistic dismemberment mechanics, dynamic physics, and unpredictable enemy behavior, ILL aims to deliver an unrelenting horror experience that pushes the genre’s boundaries.
Debuted during Summer Game Fest, ILL leverages Unreal Engine 5 to bring its nightmarish vision to life. The advanced physics system allows for gruesome, detailed interactions, monsters can be torn apart limb by limb, with every wound and scream amplified by a binaural audio system designed to immerse players in the terror. According to the developers, even seasoned horror fans will find themselves unsettled by the game’s visceral realism.
The recently released trailer showcases ILL‘s eerie atmosphere and interactive environments, where physics play a crucial role in combat, puzzles, and exploration. Every action influences how enemies react, forcing players to think strategically. Weapons aren’t just tools for survival, they require maintenance, upgrades, and modifications to stay effective as the horrors escalate. And yes, inventory management adds another layer of tension to the experience.
Behind ILL stands a team with deep roots in horror, having contributed to projects like V/H/S/Beyond, Longlegs, IT: Welcome to Derry, and Azrael, as well as various Sony Pictures horror films. Their expertise in cinematic terror translates into a game that blends survival horror with a film-like intensity, ensuring every moment feels meticulously crafted to unsettle.
ILL is slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, though an exact date remains under wraps. For those craving more horror in the meantime, there’s no shortage of terrifying titles to explore—but ILL is shaping up to be something uniquely disturbing.
