Here is a comprehensive walkthrough of the game Illusion, accompanied by step-by-step instructions on how to achieve each ending in the game.
Prologue
Just follow the tutorial for the first three rooms, it is linear and you can’t miss anything.
Note: You can fast forward dialogue and cutscenes by holding Space.
Chapter 1
Head out of the room.
Go to the right and down as instructed.
Pick up the jump potion under the tutorial sign. Use it in the menu and cross the gap.
Pick up the acceleration potion under the next tutorial sign. Immediately use it and go through the exit.
Pick up the intercom on the table and move along as instructed.
Step on the button. Use the intercom from the menu to switch characters.
Cross the lasers and step on the tile. Switch back to Parr.
Step on the next button. Switch to Theia.
Cross the gap and interact with the terminal. Switch to Parr.
Cross the lasers and step on the next button. Switch to Theia and leave the room with both.
In the next room step on the button. Switch to Theia.
Move past the lasers on the bottom and step on the switch to the top right. Switch to Parr.
Interact with the terminal, then step on the button again. Switch to Theia.
Push the box past the lasers and onto the tile in the back. Leave the room with both.
In the next room step onto the button. Switch to Theia.
Go through the portal. Interact with the terminal and bring the box back with you. Activate the skybridge with the small terminal. Push the box onto the tile past the lasers. Leave the room with both.
In the next room step onto the button. Switch to Theia.
Pick up the potion on the table. Use it to cross the gap. Take the box, push it into the middle of the corridor that goes up and push it onto the tile. Ignore the button and leave the room.
Pick up and use the potion to get to the exit with Parr as well.
Head to Parr’s room and go to bed.
Back with Glen pick up the potion. Be fast, cross the first gap and run around the corner to cross the next for an achievement.
Now comes a maze. Check the terminal for the hint, first number is the row from the right, second number is the tile from the bottom.
The solution:
In the next room you can pick up the potion if you want, but you don’t need it to solve the room.
In the red and blue tile room you do need the potion for the first section, make sure the orb gets stuck in the first section and the second one should be a walk in the park.
In the portal room, push the box on the button. Head through the portal and grab the second box. Push each box onto one of the next two buttons. Interact with the terminal and change the placement of obstacle 1 and 2. Then shoot.
In the dark room pick up the flashlight from the table. Head to the top first to step on the button. Then head back and to the right to interact with the terminal.
Password: 352
Now head back up and leave.
In the next room use the potion before stepping on the button.
Head to Glen’s room and go to bed.
Chapter 2
Leave your room to meet up with your two friends, then follow the path for a bit and pick up the intercom.
In the first puzzle room you can pick up and use the potion, but it isn’t needed to get through the room.
In the next room I recommend not using the potion as the maze is easier to navigate by regular sprinting.
In the next room don’t use the potion to get an achievement. Just mind which tiles will be electrocuted next and the puzzle will be rather easy.
Head into the control room as instructed.
With Parr simply call Glen whenever there is an otherwise impassable obstacle and select the right option. Be careful not to accidentally reset the room.
In the next room step on the button then cross the gap. Prepare for a slow chase, time stands still while in the menu if you need to take a break. You can deactivate the red and blue tiles at the same time.
In the next puzzle room pick up the potion and save it for the second portion if you need it at all. Use the intercom to deactivate both colour tiles and move an obstacle up stepping on the button. After crossing the first set of coloured tiles you need to deactivate them again.
In the next room the terminal explains that the active buttons will change when you step on any button.
The solution for the room (starting at the first jump tile): Right, Down, Down, Left
In the next room circle around the walls in the middle to stall out the orb when you need to wait for any lasers to deactivate.
In the big puzzle room I suggest saving during the puzzle whenever you manage to push a box onto the corresponding tile.
Go to Glen’s room and go to bed.
Chapter 3
Leave your room and interact with either the first or second door.

Turn off server number 8. Then go and repair the server.
There’s a manual on the table explaining the server repair puzzle. Interact with the previously electrified server and use each option in the order of the manual. Pliers, Connector, Container Packing and Tape.
