The story so far

OpenCritic and Polygon report that Love and Deepspace has recorded its worst financial month since inception. This decline correlates with a period of intense controversy surrounding the game, specifically the cancellation of the Werewolf Lover content. GameSpot notes that these market reactions are now directly impacting the project's bottom line.

Kotaku connects the recent earnings drop to the specific removal of the aforementioned character content. Meanwhile, Infold has shifted public engagement efforts by releasing a new Caleb trailer. This action marks the developer's first formal response to the Valko controversy, though coverage does not yet specify if the trailer addresses the specific complaints regarding the cancelled character.

Discrepancies appear regarding the developer’s recovery strategy. While Siliconera highlights the Caleb trailer as a potential pivot, other outlets focus primarily on the sustained financial losses linked to the Valko situation. The current state reflects a developer attempting to steer narrative focus away from the controversy as financial pressure continues to mount.
