It will also be South-east Asia’s first and only pop-up exhibition dedicated to the mobile game

since its release in January 2024

.

In a statement on July 11 , Infold Games said that the ticket-free pop-up exhibition will feature five themed installations inspired by key moments in the latest update - one for each of the love interests in the game, along with their life-size standees that fans can pose with for photos.

The installations will be at ave8 at RWS from July 18 to 31 . Entry to the pop-up exhibition will only be available between Fridays and Sundays (July 18-20 and July 25-27) , from 11am to 7pm.

Event-goers will also stand a chance to be among 50 lucky winners of an exclusive official merchandise set via a lucky draw after completing the designated event activity. The grand prize offers a one-night stay at Hotel Ora - a five-star hotel located in RWS.

Business analyst Yuka , who is among a group of fans running the Deepspacebb_and_me Instagram account dedicated to the game, said that she has been anticipating the event since its announcement online.

“I cheered along with my friends in excitement when we saw it... I’m looking forward to the decorations and meeting fans in the event,” the 28-year-old excitedly told ST.

“This event means a lot to the community,” said 36-year-old Faustine, an admin executive who asked to be known only by her first name and started playing the game just one week after its launch.“I’m really glad that Singapore is finally hosting large-scale exhibits like the ones I used to only see on social media.”

In this free-to-play 3D simulator mobile game launched by Chinese developer Papergames , p layers take on the female lead’s perspective and navigate a sci-fi fantasy world - battling monsters, clearing tasks , and romancing any of the five virtual eligible bachelors.

Unlike its predecessors in the genre of otome games (“maiden” in Japanese), Love And Deepspace is known for its unique features including an in-built menstruation cycle tracker , real-time reminders, and a tete-a-tete function that allows players to have more personal conversations with the love interests.

A popular feature in the game’s latest update lets players toggle an augmented reality filter for various functions - including “workout” and “sleep” - making it appear as if the love interests are performing these actions in real-world environments.

Since its launch, Love And Deepspace has earned more than US$500 million (S$667.5 million) worldwide on the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store, reported AFP.

The game boasts some 50 million users worldwide , with a growing number of fans locally.
