Love and Deepspace is a mobile dating game that has achieved 50 million users worldwide and earned $400 million in 2024. The game offers fast-paced combat within a stunning sci-fi setting, addressing complex themes like trauma and difficult emotions. Despite initial dismissal of mobile dating sims, this game has made strides in understanding female player psychology through its development. Recent updates have prompted discussions on the nature of love and the boundaries the game will explore concerning relationships.
Love and Deepspace has challenged the preconceived notions of some of the developers, too. Following the release of Love and Deepspace's wedding-themed July 3 update, Witnessed by Deepspace, I exchanged emails with the Infold team in which we discussed what it's like designing a game with a female audience and mind.
With its fast-paced combat, stunning visuals, deep sci-fi setting, and focus on delivering stories that delve into seemingly negative emotions, trauma, and uncomfortable subjects, Love and Deepspace shatters a lot of preconceived notions.
It turns out that working on the game has helped its male developers gain progressively deeper insights into female player psychology.
Romance games usually do not include combat, but the combat system is an inseparable part of Love and Deepspace. Fighting side by side was a crucial element in our game'sinit.
