Game makers, Illusion are certainly no strangers to the world of XXX games, but PlayHome may very well be their most XXX game yet. I have to say that I enjoy playing XXX games, I really do, but the themes that this game has on offer are a tad too much for me if I am being honest with you guys. As you would expect from Illusion, this is a game that is NSFW in any way imaginable. However, the themes of rape and even molestation make this a game that did not sit well with me.
At Illusion Labs we combine engineering and aesthetics to create fun and appealing games. Some of our strongest sides are graphics, physics simulation, and novel interaction.
- Illusion is a fun lightweight game for 2-5 players from Wolfgang Warsch—the designer of the Mind! It's a simple enough game. Players will need to arrange cards in sequential order of how much of a given color is visible on the card.
- Artificial Girl 3 is an eroge (hentai game) and is the sequel to Artificial Girl 2. The gameplay involves being a guy and living a life with one or many girls (whose various characteristics are set by the player). The game is considered by the playerbase to be one of Illusion's finest games.
Now You Will Pay
I have played some brutal and hard-hitting stories in games before, but what we have here with PlayHome might be the most extreme I have come across. I say this because the protagonist is a person that was accused by a family of being a molester who is now out for brutal revenge! It is one thing to have a game where you just want to bang a bunch of hot chicks, but to have a game where the focus is revenge rape is just a tad too dark for me.
One thing I do have to say is that as this is a game from Illusion, it has a slick look to the presentation. I am sure if you can get over the theme of the game, you will certainly find the actual sex pretty hot. If you have played any of the games from Illusion (Play Club Illusion, RapeLay, Oppai Slider 2, Sexy Beach 3) before I am sure you will recognize this style right away.
Maxing Out The Traits
Sex and story are really what PlayHome is all about. The way you progress the game is by maxing out five different traits. These traits are, vaginal, anal, horny, mouth, and semen and I am sure you can guess what each one of these is all about. Each trait has a bar and filling it up by doing certain sexual acts is how you will progress through the game. I know that it sounds pretty in-depth, but there is not actually a great deal of gameplay here.
I will say that there is a ton and I mean a ton of ways to have sex in this game. If rape was not part of the story of the game, I would actually be very impressed at how many sexual acts they have managed to cram into this game as there really is an impressive amount.
As soon as I knew that there was talk of molestation and rape involved with PlayHome I knew it would not be a game for me. With that being said, if you can look past this, I am sure you will find this a decent enough XXX game. It has many different sex positions and is very graphic so if you can get past the subject matter (which I could not) then you may be in for a fun time with this.
Pros:
- The game has that “Illusion” look to it
- There are many different sex acts in the game
- Some might like the revenge sex aspect of the game
- It does not look bad
- It is very easy to figure out what to do
Cons:
- I did not like how rape and molestation were part of the story
- Some of the text can go on for way too long
Should You Play Club By Illusion?
Play Club, from the Japanese video game company Illusion, is a Japanese eroge game only released in Japan in 2015. The Japanese developer, Illusion, is not without its fair share of controversy since its inception in 2001 out of Yokohama, Japan. Illusion is best known for the controversy surrounding one of its earlier games, RapeLay, that was sold on Amazon.

Play Club Is Entirely In Japanese
Play Club was one of the last titles released by the game developer, Illusion, before they started to develop games for their audience outside of Japan. One of their more popular and recent titles, Koikatsu Party is the third title released by the company since VR Kanojo.
However, if you want to look at one of the company’s last fully Japanese titles, then Play Club is one you should pick up if you’re a fan of the types of games Illusion puts out. Unfortunately, that also means you need to go through an extensive process of trying to translate Japanese when installing Play Club and finding a way to input Japanese when you’re typing in the game. The confusing installation process might put some off from playing Play Club.

Play Club Isn’t Very Long
There isn’t much of a story behind Play Club other than having sex with a mother and her of her daughters. Like RapeLay, the story involves non-consensual sex, so it’s not really a game to play for the easily offended. The sex scenes are very straightforward as you’re basically playing a male character who is having sex with one of the girls to try to fill her heart meter. Eventually, the girl will become “trained” by the player and they can move onto the next girl.
Play Club Has A Free Mode
Instead of taking on each girl as if she was a level that you could “clear,” there is a free mode where the hearts disappear and you can have the girl react to the main character in any way you want. You don’t need to worry about treating each girl as a challenge to overcome in the game.
Overall, if Play Club by Illusion is your type of game, then, by all means, it would be worth looking into the confusing installation process. However, it might be worth looking into some of the newer titles from Illusion released for its non-Japanese audience like Koikatsu.
