- ILLWILL Patch 1.11 - 10 September 2025
The game starts in fullscreen mode by default. This should help with the issue where some players sometimes have trouble getting the shoot button to work. Motion blur effect has been removed from dash. Added an option to turn off motion blur. Nerfed the number of enemies in the first level of The Room. The first levels of the game were unfairly difficult, I reduced the number of enemies on them so that the progression through the game would be more even. Nerfed the number of enemies in the second level of Junk Yard. Improved tire collision in the Junk Yard map. Painhead explosions will no longer throw up Jades. Decreased the size of drops in the rain effect. Decreased the size of the foliage so that monsters are easier to see. Translated new menu items. Since the first two levels in the game had a different amount of monsters, if you happen to have saves on those levels, you'll need to…
- ILLWILL Update 1.10 - 31 December 2024
Dear friends. Thanks to everyone who supported me by buying the game. I have a New Year's gift for you. I thought, what kind of boomer shooter is there now without the dash mechanics and made a dash in ILLWILL. It seems to me that it plays much more cheerfully and dynamically. Added dash mechanics (I didn't change the locations and now you can dash into places you shouldn't go. Promise me that you won't abuse the game) Added cheat menu (type on numpad 17930 to open) Cosmetic weapon improvements Warning! By default, the dash works on the left shift, or the B button on the gamepad. If you have changed the controls before, you may need to bind these buttons again through the menu. If the dash does not work on the gamepad. You need to delete the config file, which is located: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ILLWILL\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Input.ini The game will create a new config…
- ILLWILL Patch 1.09 - 27 May 2024
Improved low settings Enemies models optimization Improved visual readability of weapon items Added a light source to the Butcher's projectile and the Painhead's head Added light sources to bullet impacts I was never happy with how the game looked on super low settings. Now I like it, but the system requirements have grown. If you are someone who played ILLWILL on a Pentium and now the game is slowing down for you, please write about it on the forum. P.S. Painheads hates EVERYONE!
- Fun facts about the game - 15 April 2024
ILLWILL was inspired by Dusk The clock on the Meat Factory always shows a mirror image of real time. This is a reference that the game takes place in a parallel universe. Initially, the model of the violin was planned differently. And the violin was used as a placeholder, but I liked the way it looked so much that I decided to leave it as it is. By the way, regular violins can be found in the game. Camel sounds were used to voice the monster Jade Toad. Painhead's voice acting is the processed voice of the younger sister of our Sound Designer. Wormgun larvae suck the life out of opponents. But if you use them on Pigbot, they will restore armor. The Mammoth Rifle is a reference to the legendary double-barreled shotgun from Doom 2, which is considered one of the best fps weapons of all time. It works in a special way, the pellets pass through dead enemies, this feature allows you to mow do…
- ILLWILL Patch 1.085 - 10 March 2024
Improved game stability Fixed a bug with the shot getting jam Added the ability to turn on the flashlight yourself The game now runs on the latest engine version 4.27. If you find any bugs, please write about it on the forum. Many people told me that the game was quite dark, so I decided to add the ability to turn on the flashlight at any time. This did not affect the main functionality of the flashlight, it will also turn on automatically in dark places, as before. If you have installed the game previously, you may need to bind the flashlight button manually, most likely due to a config conflict.

I've provided the links below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpG2QRvDH7g Platforms list: https://zvonko.link/165DE6F I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to George Naugolnov for creating such a wonderful music score for the game.

However, I want you to know that I've taken note of all your wishlists, and I'm committed to gradually integrating them into the game. By the way, did you know that Painheads never get headaches? Their entire existence is filled with continuous pain.

- Game release postponed - 15 November 2022
Dear friends and all those who care about the fate of ILLWILL. We were preparing for the release of the game on 1st December this year with the whole team. Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the release of the game until next year. The reasons for the decision are not enough wishlists and subscribers of the game. With numbers like that, there is a very high chance that the game page will simply get lost in the store. Good news the game is ready. The extra time will allow us to make the game even better, add more content and run a marketing campaign. We really hope for your understanding and loyalty.
- Your nightmare starts on 1st of December - 10 November 2022
illWill is a first person adventure shooter where you will: - Destroy dangerous monsters with different types of weapons in locations where every corner is fraught with danger - Catching a nostalgia from friends from childhood mechanics - Fight the bosses - Run from Pain-heads! WARNING! After this game, a severe form of phobia may develop before opening various objects: bedside tables, cabinets, coffins. We don't know how to treat it, so all your complaints will be rejected.
