It's almost doomed to fail due to a low install base coupled with a niche product. However, this is a terrible product to test market demand for their games. That Illusion has finally taken an interest in the English market is great news. This is basically a demographic paradox: their primary audience won't have the hardware to play their game, and the few who DO have the hardware are unlikely to be interested. In a Venn diagram, the overlap between eroge fans and early VR adopters is probably minimal eroge fans tend to have less capable hardware than your typical gamer since the majority of eroge have very low system requirements. I doubt this title will do well in either Japan or overseas, at least while VR adoption is low. And only a very small subset of those would even be interested in a hentai game, much less one of Illusion's simple sex sims. As it turns out, only extreme early adopters are willing to pay the $700 or so for the headsets, much less the extra $300 or more for the necessary GPU/hardware upgrade. As of June 2016, the install base (registered users on Steam) for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive combined is around 150k units. The VR-only platform requirement is going to extremely limit their audience for this particular title. Unfortunately, despite the explosive media attention that is surely the envy of English eroge publishers, VR Kanojo is more than likely doomed to failure. The final translation will likely be lower quality than a typical fan translation, but still understandable.Д«ut can VR Kanojo attain commercial success? However, the story premise as described on the official site is flagrant Engrish, likely translated by a native Japanese speaker with no experience in English writing. For most of the trailer it's close to native-level, other than a few lines of narrative that seem off. I regard many of Illusion's titles as glorified tech demos rather than games, and I don't expect this one to buck the trend. Like its spiritual predecessor Real Kanojo ( Getchu), VR Kanojo's main value will likely be as a sex sim, with limited dialogue, no real gameplay, and no plot beyond the initial premise. Based on available information, the entire game appears to take place in Sakura's bedroom (minus a brief prologue perhaps?).

You rapidly grow close to her and she becomes your girlfriend, with all the sexual benefits that entails. VR Kanojo's premise is that the player is visiting the bedroom of young girl Sakura Yuhi (likely in high school) to tutor her.

The full 18+В version is slated for release on 2/28/17. Illusion further discussed its plans for VR KanojoВ in an interview with Japanese-language gaming site Automaton.

And indeed, it has already attracted the beady gaze of KotakuВ and Destructoid, as well as more neutral sites like Anime News Network. Unfortunately for them, it's inescapable, and marketing a 3D sex sim on Steam Greenlight is guaranteed to generate controversy.

They're likely trying to distance themselves from the Rapelay connection. Illusion registered the game on Steam Greenlight under its own title (VRKanojo's Workshop) rather than its brand name, and did the same with the official site.

Rapelay developer Illusion is boldly promoting its sex simulator on Steam Greenlight with a non-adult trial and feeding off the inevitable media frenzy.This will be one of the first (if not THE first) 'hentai' games designed specifically for virtual reality, with compatibility for both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets.Illusion, with its cult following of English modders, is finally recognizing the demand for its unique brand of highly-customizable 3D sex simulators in the West.This announcement is significant on multiple levels, as indicated by the nearly 1 million views on the YouTube trailer in less than a week. Seven years after the Rapelay scandal rocked the Western world ( Wikipedia, CNN) and poisoned eroge localization efforts for years to come ( 'For sale in Japan only': A Japanese developer's perspective on the eroge embargo), 3D sex simulator maker Illusion is reaching out to English fans with their first dedicated virtual reality title, VR Kanojo (literally 'Virtual Reality Girlfriend').
