Different extinguishing methods are available. Players can now switch between straight stream and spray mode, or switch to foam on the fire truck to tackle different types of fire more effectively. Dangerous situations such as gas leaks, flue gas explosions or electrical fires require quick action, as well as locating and shutting off electrical boxes and gas valves. Vertical ventilation also allows roofs to be sawed open to allow smoke to escape, while ladders provide access to higher areas.

Today, Team Clout and Mundfish Powerhouse debuted a new trailer for the realistic action survival-horror ILL during Summer Game Fest, showcasing the game’s sleek graphics and grotesque enemies. ILL is the debut project from Team Clout and the first title under the Mundfish Powerhouse initiative, a new development and investment branch from the Atomic Heart developer seeking to support and uplift up-and-coming studios with visionary games in the industry.

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.

Max Verehin, Game Director of ILL and CEO of Team Clout, shared the following:

“To everyone who’s been excited about ILL from the very beginning – thank you. Your passion and patience have meant everything to us.

We also want to thank Mundfish Powerhouse for their unwavering support. Every independent developer knows how challenging it is to bring a vision to life, and the guidance and infrastructure Powerhouse provided have been instrumental in shaping a sustainable path forward for ILL.

We reached a significant development milestone and are thrilled to finally start sharing more with you and the wider gaming community. This is just the beginning, so stay tuned for much more to come.”

Speaking on the collaboration, Mundfish CEO Robert Bagratuni, added:

“Mundfish Powerhouse is proud to announce our partnership with Team Clout on their upcoming title, ILL. Powerhouse was created to empower daring, visionary developers by providing meaningful support where it matters most. We’re committed to backing artists with bold, transgressive, and uncompromising creative visions – and we believe ILL is a striking example of that spirit.”

Key Features of ILL
  • A Realistic & Terrifying Experience
    The game plunges you into a grim world with an eerie and atmospheric narrative, where every minute keeps you on the edge of your nerves. ILL challenges even the most seasoned fans of the genre with its disturbingly realistic horrors.
  • Intense Body Horror & Blood-Chilling Audio
    ILL pushes the boundaries of the genre with its gory realism: grotesque monsters can be mutilated and mercilessly torn apart. Ripped flesh, exposed bone, disemboweled bodies – all this will make an unprecedented impression and shock you to the core. The binaural audio system amplifies the emotional impact, letting you feel the agony in every scream.
  • Dynamic Enemy Behavior & Realistic Physics
    Enemies are unpredictable, and the game’s realistic physics make the environment more than just a background — it becomes an active part of the gameplay, including during puzzle-solving. Your actions can affect the behavior of monsters and cause unexpected reactions — from impulsive interaction with the surroundings to disturbingly human-like reflexes.
  • Tactical Weapon & Resource Management
    Feel the weight of your weapon in your hands with elaborate animations that reflect its unique physical properties. Not only is precision important, but also the maintenance of a diverse arsenal: checking for malfunctions, installing modifications, and upgrading. Strategic inventory management is critical to survival — the ability to craft an item could mean the difference between life and death.
  • Cinematic Horror Expertise & Influence
    The developers of ILL are seasoned horror experts whose contributions can be seen in acclaimed films and series such as V/H/S/Beyond, Longlegs, IT: Welcome to Derry, Azrael, and various Sony Pictures horror projects.

This announcement confirms the renewal of the partnership between Focus Entertainment Publishing and Asobo Studio, whose collaboration dates back to the birth of the multiple award-winning series.

“We wanted to expand and explore the world of A Plague Tale with a character – Sophia – that is very close to our heart, but within a much more action-oriented experience,” said David Dedeine, Chief Creative Officer at Asobo Studio. “This fresh approach comes with intuitive and rewarding combats, as well as a brand-new manifestation of the Macula, the ancient evil. Resonance embraces themes, places and eras that we had never explored before. Taking on this challenge was only possible with Focus Entertainment, who knows our world inside out and with whom we share common trust and ambition.”

“We are, once again, thrilled to work in collaboration with Asobo Studio. Our partnership proved, over the years, that we share a common passion and ambition for the franchise,” said John Bert, Managing Director at Focus Entertainment Publishing. “Expanding the world of A Plague Tale with Sophia, a character already close to our heart since Requiem, is exciting and we can’t wait to hear what our fans think! Blending myth and combat in this new opus promises to be a great opportunity for all to embark on a new adventure.”

Venture to a mythical island where danger awaits and unravel its secrets

Set 15 years before the events of Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run but determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story melding combat, myth and fate for a totally new take on the universe of A Plague Tale.

Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’s Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, and solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon reveal itself. As you journey deeper into the island’s heart, you’ll confront the truth behind a long-buried curse…

  • Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters.
  • Shift between the Middle Ages period of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present. Unfold a new story in the universe of A Plague Tale through the entwined destinies of two heroes linked by fate and the Macula’s mysterious legacy.

Use a stolen Minoan sphere to solve ingenious puzzles by manipulating light – a force woven by Daedalus into the island’s very heart.
  • It is said that only a few came back from the island. Lurking in the shadows lives a restless presence. It follows you around, seemingly knowing your every move, as it hunts through the island’s depths. Every step is a risk. Every pause, a potential end. You can’t stop, only hide, outsmart, and push forward. Can you survive each trial, or will you join those who never came back?
