ILL Gameplay
Right off the bat, one can clearly notice the Resident Evil inspiration in the gameplay. The setting and overall atmosphere of the game is very identical to the Resident Evil series of games. More like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Something about the game that fans of the survival horror genre will like is the fact that it does showcase gore in all its glory.

In addition, the graphical textures, lighting and animations look stunning, thanks to Unreal Engine 5. Developer Team Clout has also promised that there are going to be reactive environments in ILL. They have further added that there is going to be destructibility mechanics in the game as well. Both of which are something that gamers of all sorts may dig.
As for the ILL release date, nothing can be said for sure on that front. This is primarily because the game’s main source of funding is via Patreon. Moreover, Team Clout is working on it as a part-time project using Unreal Engine 5. Considering all these factors, the game’s official release does not seem to be anytime soon.
