The usual skepticism resurfaces
About a quarter of this week's comments still doubt the game will ever release or compare it to The Day Before — a reflex present since the 2021 announcement.
Fears of a graphical downgrade
Several comments worry the final visuals will look worse than the footage shown, a doubt reignited by this week's video.
The endless wait
Persistent impatience over a still-uncertain release, with some noting they saw the first footage "years ago."
The same Resident Evil comparisons
This week's monsters spark the usual Resident Evil comparisons, amusing some viewers and irritating others.
Top reactions and controversies
Body horror that mesmerizes
Dominant takeSince the earliest clips, viewers have raved about the bloated monsters and gore effects, calling them more unsettling than Resident Evil or Dead Space. The attention to physical damage keeps coming up as the game's single biggest strength.
Real game or scam?
ControversySince 2021 part of the audience has cried scam, comparing ILL to The Day Before and pointing at the lack of unscripted gameplay. Others defend a small talented studio, likened to Atomic Heart, whose trailers have grown steadily more convincing.
The Resident Evil / Dead Space / The Thing mash-up
Dominant takeThe game is constantly compared to Resident Evil, Dead Space, Silent Hill, Outlast and the movie The Thing, with fans seeing a clever blend of their favorite horrors rather than a mere clone.
Patience vs. frustration over the silence
ControversyYears of silence between teasers frustrate part of the audience demanding real gameplay and a firm release date, while others praise the team's patience, recalling Atomic Heart's own long road.
Leon's voice steals the show
Dominant takeLearning that Nick Apostolides, Leon's voice in the RE remakes, voices the hero sparks a wave of excitement and running jokes in every trailer's comments.
The baby kick goes viral
Dominant takeThe scene where the hero kicks a mutant baby instantly became a meme, endlessly quoted and treated as a selling point all by itself.
