Illusion (company)

Illusion (Japanese: イリュージョン, Hepburn: Iryūjon) is a company from Yokohama, Japan famous for developing eroge with 3D graphics. Originally, its games were not allowed to be sold or used outside Japan, and official support was only given in Japanese and for use in Japan.[1] However, with the release of Honey Select Unlimited in coordination with the online English erotic game storefront FAKKU, Illusion's policy has since changed. Prior to this change in policy, they were often translated and released in English and other languages by fans.

For the company previously known as Illusion Softworks, see 2K Czech.
