The Day Before was among the biggest scams in gaming history, and it was a sad attempt to gain hype and deliver false promises for the survival horror genre, gamers might have to experience it again with this year’s potential scam coming from a small team of developers called Team Clout as they are working silently on their first project called Ill.
With little to no details provided by the game developers, members of the community are left speechless and in awe over the footage that was released prior to Team Cloud’s hiatus from the internet. While the gameplay is probably pre-rendered, fans were quick and easily pleased by the attention to detail and the body horror features. The same level of excitement was present before The Day Before was released and it resulted in massive disappointment.
Ill Could Be This Year’s The Day Before And An Insult To The Survival Horror Genre
Despite having an official Steam page, there are some who question the game’s existence and suspect the page may be a ruse to generate excitement only to be revealed as a scam or an unfortunate cancellation. It is not an unusual move that small-time scammers do but the emotional damage and toll they leave will serve as a cautionary tale.
The YouTuber Paddy Plays made a very descriptive breakdown of how Ill could end up being a fake, and if it is real it could be another disappointment like The Day Before.
The gameplay and animations alone are a major red flag for a small-time developer’s capabilities. Perhaps they are competent programmers with the help of Unreal Engine 5 but the footage seems to be pre-rendered and could be drastically changed before the game’s launch.
Fans Should Be Cautious For Another Potential Ill-Fated Scam
The fact that Team Clout is only posting and sharing development details over at their Patreon page and it is covered by a paywall and the services they provide are content regarding the game and subscribers will be featured by the game’s credits. Hopefully, the game’s secrecy will be beneficial and help blow the socks away of anyone doubting it.
The Day Before, on the other hand, had a handful of gameplay trailers leading up to launch and it was a massive disappointment on day one, and one could say it should have stayed dead as it was already dead on arrival.
Is ILL a real upcoming game or what?

It would be wise to give Ill the benefit of the doubt, and the developers’ strict code of privacy and confidentiality could be early indications of something great or it could all be firewood to stoke the flames of an unwarranted hype train.
From the early teasers, Ill could potentially revolutionize the survival horror genre if Team Clout can deliver their promise for an immersive game experience and there is no denying it was heavily inspired from the Resident Evil franchise.
Do you think Ill can exceed expectations, or is it dead on arrival like The Day Before? Share your thoughts below!
