A gorgeous action-adventure based on the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West. The combat animation and extremely detailed world really come together to add another level of atmosphere, like in the way the werewolf knocks things over and tears shingles off the roof. You can transform into various creatures and characters like a cicada, a giant beast, and even enemies you have defeated.

“An atmospheric adventure about a journey of discovery through an ancient world of wonders. Taking players through lush forests, across a sun blasted desert, over a frigid tundra, the power of a lost civilisation will even carry the hero to the clouds. Along the way there will be creatures great and small to observe and interact with – shy rock-like crabs, helpful turtles, maybe even a friendly dinosaur to ride?”

A gruesome first-person horror game channeling the spirit of classic horror movies like The Thing. ILL is moving away from complicated psychological horror tropes and going for a more simple, wholesome experience about body horror and shocking discoveries. It’s basically in the prototyping stage at the moment and on the lookout for funding. I am definitely crossing my fingers that it turns out as good as it looks.
