About this game

Tell Us About The Game's Story
The main character is a professor at a local community college. He has a wife that he has been with for eleven years, and a nine year old daughter. They have created the normal life that many strive for... nice car, nice house, good jobs....
However, the last year has brought some concern to light for our main character. His wife has become more distant, reserved, and indulgent. He contemplates that he is overthinking it all. When he brings the topic up to his wife, she calls him crazy and states how busy she has been with work. However things are not okay in this seemingly normal suburban home. Our main character discovers his wife's affair and that is where "Illusion of Being" really digs in.
Our main character is forced to make choices he wishes he never had to. Will he succumb to depression and possibly upset those who care for him? Will he embrace the single life and have more attention than he ever thought possible? Will he find true love within his new found freedom? As the player, the choices are yours to make... All the rewards as well as possible consequences, are yours to experience....
Why did we make Illusion of Being?
Illusion of Being was made to bring back the story telling that we crave while also bringing you some of the most intense visuals and emotions that a story like this can convey. It approaches difficult subjects on many different levels from substance abuse, adultery, friendship, betrayal, lust, fantasy, and much more! The game highlights elements that we believe have not been explored before in a detailed adult visual novel. It is grounded, real, immersive, heart breaking, inspiring.... With some of the best animations and characterization within the genre to accompany the tale. We aimed to create something both thought provoking, emotional, and yet thrilling to experience. Illusion of Being Chapter 1 is just the beginning of this journey, there is still so much more to come!

Illusion of Being Update - 7/31/23
Hello everyone! We have a few announcements to make as the month of July closes out, hope you enjoy! Summer's not over yet and Cinthia is keeping things hot! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43622902/4485307a07f9219b73a62ff96ef38c2ebbf0b8ff.jpg We are excited to share that Chapter 1 is complete and uploaded to Steam for their review! We are hopeful that it will be available the day of the expected launch (August 11th) but that is up to Steam now. The demo has been removed from the Steam store. We believe it no longer accurately represents IOB Chapter 1, due to how the game features much more content and story line now. The new release trailer is now on the store page! Also, the store page has been further updated to better reflect Chapter 1 as well as our vision for the project as a whole. Stay in touch with the latest from the developers! Our discussion boards will be an excellent way to begin communicating with us as future Chapter development pushes forward. However most of our engagement with the community is through our discord and you will find a lot more content there. Click here to join our discord! Hope to see you soon! -TEG {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43622902/0267109f4ec842f6577f49be1754ed4188ff60f8.jpgRead full article on Community Announcements (T.E.G.)
