Illusion (video game series)

Illusion was a Japanese adult video game developer and publisher. Founded in 1993, Illusion was known for its 3D adult games featuring character customization and simulation elements. The company's games were primarily released for the PC platform.

Illusion's games often revolved around themes of romance, relationships, and explicit sexual content. While the games were commercially successful in Japan, they were often controversial due to their adult content and sometimes problematic depictions of women.

Some of Illusion's notable titles include:

• Artificial Girl series: A series of games allowing players to create and interact with customizable female androids.

• Real Kanojo series: Games focusing on realistic romantic relationships.

• Honey Select series: Character creation and relationship simulation games with advanced customization options.

• VR Kanojo: A virtual reality game offering immersive interactions with a virtual girlfriend.

In August 2023, Illusion announced its closure, citing the difficulty of maintaining business operations. The company officially ceased operations in late 2023. Their games remain available through various online distributors, though their future maintenance and support are uncertain.
