What is Love and Deepspace?

In the simplest terms, Love and Deepspace is a mobile romance game. But Love and Deepspace is anything but simple.  The game has a visual novel-style narrative, real-time combat, and a period tracker. You can decorate a home as you would in The Sims 4. You can interact with the men as if they were your real-life boyfriend, texting throughout the day then falling asleep together at night. (Yes, falling asleep together.

Along with lots of little quality-of-life touches clearly inspired by a deep, lifelong love for the genre this really does feel like a simmer's life sim
