How it feels

A slow-burn, first-person survival horror where every environment feels oppressive and trust in reality constantly erodes.

What players say

Players say Always: Ill is a promising early-access horror FPS with effective jump scares and a tense atmosphere, but split on technical issues. Some praise the developer for fixing optimization after updates, while others report severe stuttering and camera movement that causes motion sickness. The game is short and has a clumsy save system.
