Here’s an atmospheric look at gameplay in first-person horror shooter ILL

With a vibe straight out of a horror detective movie, the first gameplay trailer for in-development horror shooter Ill, stylized as ILL, shows off a cluttered, detailed environment and heavy, very physical movement. The heavily ambient background and compositing, by electronic artist Lorn, is frankly flawless, short as it may be.

Ill is made with Unreal Engine 5 in partnership with Epic MegaGrants. That really shows in the amount of sheer things showing up in the environment, not just in volume, but in textures and lighting effects. You can see that cloth, concrete, wood, plastic, and metal are all reflecting light differently.
