# Hotspring Event — Lingering Lust (All LIs, Apr–May 2026)

> A hotspring-themed event presenting all five released LIs in an intimate bathhouse setting — widely reported as the spiciest content released in the game's history. Infold Games used censored stick-figure and text-only trailers on social media due to content restrictions. Each LI has a new Interactive Memoria set in the hotspring AU.

## Description

Lingering Lust ran from April 30 to May 15, 2026. The event dropped the usual costuming for a naturalistic hotspring setting, resulting in the most overtly intimate content in Love and Deepspace's history. Infold Games released censored trailers — one featuring stick figures, another using thrusting text — to comply with social media content policies in various regions; these trailers themselves generated significant media coverage (Kotaku, GameSpot, Aftermath). Five Interactive Memoria: Xavier: Sunken Glow, Zayne: Silent Underflow, Rafayel: Rippling Blossoms, Sylus: Darkbound Souls, Caleb: Vinesurge Instinct. Additional outfit rewards were distributed as cumulative event prizes.
