The Summer Game Fest opening showcase revealed a new survival-horror game from Mundfish with a whole lot of creepy monster designs.
Plenty of goodies for horror gamers during this year’s Summer Game Fest. Among the new reveals during today’s showcase was ILL, which looks all manner of terrifying.
Set in a mysterious research fort, ILL is a realistic first-person action/horror game that plunges players headlong into an immersive, atmospheric body horror narrative. From a development team that has worked with renowned film directors and designed monsters for horror films, and featuring innovative gameplay mechanics like a cutting-edge dismemberment system, binaural audio implementation, and realistic physics, ILL is both a love letter and an evolution of the survival horror genre. The title is built on the belief that games can go where films can’t: under the skin. To make the player not just witness fear, but experience it. Pain, dread, and disorientation are delivered straight into your hands with no escape, unlike in movies, where characters move you through the terror.
Something sinister has awakened within a vast research fort. This mysterious source of evil and the horrific Aberrations it spawned stand in the protagonist’s way to save what matters most to him. Unleash your survival instincts, as ILL will make you feel every second of the struggle for survival.
ILL is the first title set to release from Mundfish Powerhouse, the new business label from the developers behind 2023’s smash-hit Atomic Heart. Created with the singular goal of supporting ambitious developers realize their creative visions, Mundfish Powerhouse is more than just a publishing imprint: it’s a multifunctional creative label, lending consultancy, financial aid and other resources to those who have yet to establish themselves in the industry.
