VR Kanojo (VR カノジョ) is a virtual reality (VR) eroge social simulation video game made by Illusion, released in February 2017 for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift on Microsoft Windows PCs.[1] VR Kanojo is the successor to Illusion's 2010 game REAL Kanojo, and follows a similar premise where the player is allowed to interact with a virtual girlfriend.[1] It has been described as similar to Bandai Namco's Summer Lesson.[2][3]

Gameplay

VR Kanojo gives the player a virtual girlfriend and several scenarios with which to spend time with her.[4] The player interacts with Sakura Yuuhi – a young Japanese girl[4] – in her bedroom.[5] The game is played through a virtual reality headset,[4] with VR controllers simulating the player's hands in-game.[6] The player can answer questions by nodding or shaking their head.[1] The player can customize the girl's appearance with various outfits,[6] can touch the girl and can engage in virtual sex through explicit sexual scenarios, including handjobs, blowjobs and vaginal intercourse.[4]

The rendering in this work is structured across five levels, with the highest level, "high quality," offering detailed mapping, including the texture of Sakura's skin.[7][8]

Collaborations

In May 2018, Illusion adapted VR Kanojo to work with ANTVR's "MIX" headset, to provide an augmented reality experience.[9][10] Illusion and Tokyo-based startup Vaqso collaborated at Unite 2017 to allow VR Kanojo players to use the odor emitting "Vaqso VR" attachment to smell the game character's stockings.[11]

Reception

In a review for Kotaku, Kate Gray writes: "And VR Kanojo gives you what you want: full-blown sex, slightly pixelated but still realistic. But it gives you more than that: it gives you a feeling of intimacy. [...] Perhaps it's possible to virtually replicate intimacy and love. When I'm lying in a virtual bed with a virtual girlfriend, maybe I can believe that."[4]

Successor

In September 2024, Illumination Inc. started crowdfunding for a new game building on VR Kanojo.[12]
