Illusion at a Glance

Illusion operates out of Yokohama, Japan and has been active since 1993 until 2022. The company released a total of 47 games on PlayPile, with 45 titles listed as publisher credits and 46 as developer credits. Their output was concentrated in the 2000s with 23 games, followed by the 2010s with 17 releases. The 1990s saw only three games, while the 2020s contained just four titles before operations ceased. Their catalog is heavily skewed toward the PC platform, specifically Microsoft Windows, which accounts for 46 of their releases. They also have minor entries on SteamVR, Palm OS, and the PC-9800 Series. The simulator genre dominates their work with 30 games, making up nearly two-thirds of their library. Adventure titles follow with 15 entries. Other genres like shooters, puzzles, strategy, RPGs, fighting games, platformers, visual novels, and racing each represent only a few releases. The company is known for eroge featuring 3D graphics. Their bio states that official support is limited to Japanese language and the games are not allowed to be sold or used outside Japan. This policy likely kept their international presence small despite their long history. Quality trends show mixed results across their rated titles. They have an average IGDB rating of 69 out of 100 based on 12 rated games. The breakdown includes one great title, nine good ones, one mixed entry, and one poor game. Their highest-rated release is Koikatsu Party from 2019 with a score of 87.6. SchoolMate 2 (2010) scored 80, while Sexy Beach 3 (2006), Artificial Academy 2 (2014), and Artificial Academy (2011) all scored above 77. Recent releases like Honey Select 2: Libido DX and Room Girl Paradise did not have individual ratings listed in the provided data. The company focused heavily on simulation games throughout their career, but their output dropped significantly in the last decade before they stopped making new games.
