Love And Deepspace’s Steamy Bath-Themed Event, Lingering Lust, Has Us Feeling Anything But Clean
Love and Deepspace, a mobile romance game by Infold Games, is facing renewed scrutiny over its age rating following the announcement of a provocative new event called “Lingering Lust.” While the game’s official website designates it for players 13 and older, several countries have recently increased the minimum age requirement. Most notably, in developer Infold Games’s home country of China, the game is now classified as 18+ on the App Store.
The upcoming “Lingering Lust” event, scheduled to run from April 30 to May 15, features bath-themed content with suggestive elements. The event’s steamy nature has prompted industry observers to question whether additional countries might follow China’s lead in raising the age rating. The game features five romance options and has cultivated a dedicated fanbase, but the increasingly mature content is creating a disconnect between the official recommended age and the actual nature of in-game events.
The age rating debate reflects broader industry tensions between marketing content to adult audiences and maintaining accessible ratings for younger players. As live-service games increasingly push boundary-testing content updates, regulatory bodies in different regions continue to reassess appropriate classifications.
