Common questions about Love and Deepspace lore and this archive.
LADS Archive is a free, fan-maintained lore database for Love and Deepspace. It catalogues 162 story events, 187 cards, and six character routes in a searchable, interactive format.
There's no single correct answer, but the Which Route quiz on this site asks three questions about your story preferences and recommends a starting route with a suggested play order for the rest.
Sylus is 28 years old in 2048. However, as the only known escapee of the space-time prison Tartarus, his true age may not follow Earth's calendar.
Zayne is 27 years old in 2048, making him Linkon's youngest star cardiac surgeon.
Xavier appears to be in his early twenties, but he is actually centuries old. He is the crown prince of Philos whose time-travel mission overshot its target by roughly 214 years — he has been waiting on Earth for MC ever since.
Caleb is 25 years old in 2048. He is MC's adoptive older brother and a Colonel of the Farspace Fleet.

Xavier's birthday is October 16.

The Chronorift Catastrophe is a cataclysmic event that occurred in 2034, unleashing dimensional rifts across Earth and giving rise to Wanderers — hostile entities that Deepspace Hunters are trained to combat.
A Protocore is a crystallised energy fragment from the Chronorift. Fragments of a Protocore are lodged in MC's heart, which is central to Zayne's story and the reason he became a cardiac surgeon.

Lemurians are members of an ancient marine civilisation that humans have hunted since 2034. Lemurians can manifest a merman form with a fish tail when submerged or in deep emotional states. Rafayel is one of the last surviving Lemurians.
The Aether Core is a mysterious power source embedded in Sylus's right eye. It allows him to perceive desire itself — and it is why he views MC as his true kindred spirit.

No — Love and Deepspace does not have a single canonical route. Each character's story is treated as its own complete narrative. The archive presents all routes in parallel.
The archive is updated when new canon content releases. The What's New page lists the latest additions, and subscribers receive a weekly email digest.
Events in Love and Deepspace were released in a different order from their in-universe chronology. The interactive timeline lets you switch between release order and in-universe chronology, showing how the story fits together both ways.
