  • v2.0 - Encore update - 19 November 2021

    It took a while, but the final & biggest update (dubbed Fake Illusions: Encore Update) is finally here! It brings four new illusions, a new shuffle mode with some extra distractions, and other bits of polish to make this truly the final version of the game. Let's take a look at them! Are the lines in the Ehrenstein illusion straight or bent? The white lines surrounding the red lines create an illusion of the line being bent! Of course, you'll select the faker *straight* away, right? The Munker illusion that toys with your perception of how bright certain colors are! With just three colors, you can make it seem like there are a lot more colors than there actually are. Because of the contrast between the white and black background, you might perceive different gray luminance for each. The Jastrov illusion has bent shapes that sometimes look longer than they actually are. Except for one, o…

  • v1.2 (Brainbreaker) update! New illusions, controller support, & more! - 19 December 2020

    Hello illusionists! Today I'm launching another update for Fake Illusions. This update adds controller support, and it will have two new illusions for you to play! The Cornsweet illusion is a neat trick to create illusory contrast between colors. Except for one of the colors, of course! The monochrome rainbow falls apart once the black & white lines separating them disappear! Secondly, we have the flash lag illusion! If an object is constantly moving, and an object flashes in and out next of it, you'll see that flash in an entirely different spot from where it actually turned up! Various variations of this effect are explored in the game. Controller support builds on the keyboard support that was added in the last update. On Windows, joypads using either DirectInput or Xinput can be connected, which should cover most common controllers. You'll still need the mouse in rare cases, but thi…

  • Eyetwister update: Two new illusions - 28 October 2020

    Hello illusionists! I've prepared an update for you, just in time for Halloween. The full changelog is at the bottom of this post, but here are the highlights: Two New Illusions! Enjoy the new Poggendorff illusion, in which you'll need to spot secretly disconnected lines, and the Pinna et al. (or "Watercolor") illusion, where a tricky effect will make objects seem discolored, but only one actually is fully chromatic. You can unlock these after unlocking all main illusions. Keyboard support QWERTY, AZERTY, and DVORAK users rejoice! You can now use the keyboard controls to jump from object to object and fully play the game this way, as an alternative to the original mouse controls. Dark Theme Were some illusions a tad too bright for your eyes? With the newly added Dark Mode, you can now play most of the illusions with more eye-friendly colors. And it looks kinda stylish, too! That's all f…

  • Fake Illusions released! - 20 August 2020

    Thank you all very much for your patience. After a year and a half in development, Fake Illusions is finally out! It will be discounted at 10% for a week after launch. There's also a new launch trailer: I can also announce that I'm going to release at least a couple of content updates for this game, starting with new illusions to play. So you'll have something to look forward to! More announcements coming whenever they are ready. That's it for me. For now, please enjoy the game!

Short description

Uncover cheating optical illusions, with your brain and eyes deceiving you at every opportunity... Experience these popular eyetwisters interactively like you've never seen before! This minimalist, but surreal game will make you question all senses you have.

About this game

Fake Illusions is a collection of optical illusions—but some aren't playing fair! Where straight lines look diagonal, one line actually is, and circles look like they differ in size, but secretly, one one of them is actually bigger or smaller, camouflaged by the illusion. The goal is to accuse these cheating illusions! But beware—the fakers will do everything to stay unnoticed... It's the ultimate test of your focus! Featuring more than fifteen illusions about color, perspective, and movement, with lots of variants and distractions. Try the relaxing Zen mode, or the hectic Shuffle mode! Oh, and you can record GIFs, too! Photosensitive Epilepsy Warning This game features optical illusions, repeated patterns and high contrast images. Stop playing if you start feeling dizzy or sick. Accessibility info Color blind friendly: the game uses mostly greyscale colors, and brightness can be adjusted. Illusions that require you to spot differences in color can be skipped. Textless: Very little reading is required to play Fake Illusions. Autosave: Quit at any time and continue where you left off next time you play. Difficulty: You can freely adjust how much the faker stands out for every illusion. Controls: Completely playable with either mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. Keyboard and gamepad are remappable.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 16, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $5.99
  • Highest observed: $5.99

Fake Illusions's USD price history spans from Oct 16, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $5.99, the highest is $5.99, and the first visible tracked price is $5.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Fake Illusions's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99, from Oct 16, 2026 through Oct 16, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $5.99. The latest run records $5.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $5.99
  • Current list price: $5.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Fake Illusions at $5.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
