Japanese adult video game developer 'Illusion' will cease all activities on August 18th. Founded in 1992, the iconic game developer, which has released over 80 2D and 3D bishoujo games for adult gamers over the past 30 years, is coming to an end.

Illusion announced today (14th) via its official SNS that it will end all game development and sales activities on August 18, 2023. They explored various avenues for the continued development of the business, but were no longer able to maintain the business. The announcement included a message of deep gratitude and apology to all the fans who have consistently supported them. The announcement recorded 1.3 million views within an hour of being posted, and was retweeted more than 10,000 times, drawing the attention of many gamers who reminisced about Illusion's games.

Several activities that Illusion has been carrying out since the announcement of the end of activities on July 14 will also be terminated sequentially. First, information updates on the official website will be suspended, and content updates will also be terminated. On August 1, the sale of downloadable products on the official sales site will be terminated, and on the 18th, game sales will be terminated at all channels, including Steam, official support and update file distribution will be terminated, and even YouTube and Twitter will be closed. Of course, those who have already purchased and downloaded the game can continue to play it.

Meanwhile, a notice announcing the end of Illusion's activities has also been posted on the store page of Illusion's adult VR game 'VR Kanojo', which is currently being sold on Steam. After the 18th, VR Kanojo will no longer be available on Steam. If you want to keep VR Kanojo in your Steam library, you must purchase the game before the 18th.
