The big bad boss-man of Onychinus has watched you listlessly mope around the base for far too long. The twins and Mephisto can’t get you to play. You’re too sad to even submit to his clingy cuddles.
That simply won’t do. At least this new shipment of state of the art weaponry needs a test run.
He strides past your view all dressed up in his riding leathers and packing heat. It makes you sit up from your sad moping in a fluffy blanket with a little wolf plush.
You watch him stretch out his neck and tug leather gloves on like a little cat peering over the back of the couch.
“Sy… where you going?”
A swirl of his evol has his helmet settling in hand to tuck it under his arm while he puts on his sunglasses. He glances at you. It takes step strides for him to be in your space and pressing a kiss to your crown. Then he’s walking out the door, hand lazily waving.
“I’m getting your wolf back.”
You barely register his words before you’re scrambling around the base to get dressed too.
From a fellow hunter in Shanghai. She allowed me to repost and says others can as well when getting in touch with Papergames/InFold.
Here is the text to copy and paste:
I hereby lodge a formal protest. Please do not brush this off with official rhetoric; please record this directly and escalate it to higher authorities.
The sudden removal of a character that had already been announced constitutes false advertising, breach of trust, and a violation of the consumer contract. Players invested time, emotion, and money in preparation based on the official preview; unilaterally removing the character is a serious violation of consumer rights, and we reserve the right to pursue all legal remedies.
This does nothing to improve the current public perception; it will only cement the label of “untrustworthy” even more firmly. Not only will it fail to recover revenue, but it will also make it clear to all observers that your company can arbitrarily renege on its promises.
Our demands are clear and non-negotiable:
First, Ao Yin must be released immediately as the official male lead, with all previously announced promotional materials, card artwork, storylines, and companion events—not a single one omitted;
Second, the official team of *Love & Deep Space* must issue a formal, public, and sincere apology to all players who love Ao Yin.
Please provide a substantive response to the above two points.
honestly, if a boycott, refund requests, and people uninstalling are what got us here in the first place, then i think those of us who were genuinely excited for valko should be just as loud.
because why are we expected to sit quietly and be grateful for crumbs when we were teased an entire character, got invested, got excited, and then were told to simply move on?
no, actually.
if people can make noise when they dislike something, then people are allowed to make noise when something they did want gets taken away too.
i wanted the wolfboy. i was ready for the wolfboy. i had already made room in my little morally questionable heart for the wolfboy.
so yes. refund, uninstall, boycott, howl at the moon, whatever feels right. but don’t let them think no one wanted him.
Infold is pissing me off, so bad rn. And the CN players.
First off, CN players, apparently, sending funeral flowers and cow dung and ritual items to Papergames is batshit behaviour, on it's own. But because they don't like the story/development direction the game is going? One that infold stated has been the plan from the start? Who does that?!
And Infold caving to it is dangerous. It sends the message that this kind of behaviour works, and the people behind it get what they want. Not just towards infold, but other games as well, and that isn't right. What if people start doing this towards other games/communities, thinking it'll let them get their way? What if this behaviour escalates because it's shown to work? Rewarding this kind of behaviour by giving them what they want is unacceptable. On a moral level.
I was so excited for Valko. As well as my sister/friends who play the game too. He seemed like such an interesting character, with fun five stars and unique plot that I was so excited to explore.
I enjoy good storytelling and, say what you will about Infold being a greedy company, they're great at story telling, from the main story to the plot of 5/4 star cards, the anecdotes, world underneath, etc. That's why I trust and remain invested in Infold's ability to tell a story, and believe that if they released Valko before a Sylus and Caleb update, there was some plot related reason they wanted it to happen first. Maybe it's naive, but changing the story because one portion of the fanbase doesn't like it is an insane move, that only serves to piss off the other portion of the fanbase.
To say that I am extremely disappointed with this decision would be an understatement. It feels so disrespectful to the global fanbase that invest time, money and emotions into this game, and even create fan works for it. We were excited for him. He had an audience that would've been excited to explore his character, even if the CN players weren't.
I understand frustration towards the lack of content for Caleb and Sylus, and I do think that Infold needs to address this. I would, personally, prefer delaying the fourth myths in favour of focusing on second bond stories and free four stars for the two. This would also be f2p friendly move, as players have more time to save for the myth.
I also agree that main story updates should be more frequent and prioritised over cash grabs, like frequent multi banners, re runs, paid outfits/events, etc. However, removing a character that the global fanbase is excited for, just because the domestic fanbase isn't is an insane move, and just shooting yourself in the foot.
If Infold had no desire to listen to, and take into account the voices of its global fanbase, then they shouldn't have expanded the game to the global fanbase to start with. They shouldn't have events overseas, or attend expos abroad. Because, clearly, they don't value or the opinions, of global players.
All isolating global players will do is make them leave LADS for a different game, the success of LADS shows there is a market for similar games. Losing players will mean losing their money too, and the decrease in profits will only mean that there will be less money to create content for the existing five characters, slowing down production of myths, main story updates, and other content (such as missing content for Sylus and Caleb).
I sincerely hope Infold reconsiders this decision, and, at minimum, releases Valko for the global audience only, if the CN players really hate him that much.
A collection of background and character lore from the main event in Demon's Party for both romanced and non-romanced demons, as well as the individual Starfall cards.
The main event story differs slightly depending on which demon you have selected. They each have a romanced and non-romanced puzzle, the last episode differs of course, and one other part is different as well.

🍷Lucifer's Wisdom
Lucifer has a different dialogue for each of his brothers being romanced, which is rather sweet. For Mammon and Asmo, he expresses that MC will be safe. For Levi and Beel, he knows that MC will keep them safe. And for Satan and Belphie, he asks MC to look after them (ಥ◡ಥ)
For Mammon, Lucifer knows that he treasures MC, and that the two can overcome any issues. On the notion of putting Mams in charge of money though... "Heh... ...Don't do that. Seriously... You will regret that." (˘ŏ_ŏ)
For Levi, Lucifer knows MC brings out the best in him, and that without MC, Levi would still be stuck in his shell. "Your relationship brings out the best of him."
For Satan, Lucifer says he changed the most after meeting MC, that MC taught him so many more feelings than just rage. He asks for MC to look after him. "But his habit of becoming a workaholic surely will not change easily. Please, watch over him so he doesn't overdo it."
For Asmo, Lucifer believes MC is the only person to treat him as a regular demon. He never thought Asmo would settle down with one person, but MC has the power to change someone that much. "No matter what, Asmo won't leave you."
For Beel, Lucifer says MC is the only one with the strength to protect him, and is glad he has MC at his side. If food runs low, let him know and he'll send as much as is needed. "Beel is driven by a strong desire to protect those dear to him. I trust he will always protect you."
For Belphie, Lucifer believes it was MC who saved him from his long sorrow, and that his experience in losing a loved one means that he won't let MC go. He asks MC to comfort Belphie when he needs it. "Take care of him for me."

As for the various routes and cards, here's the rest! And yes, Asmo does seem rather mean about Solomon, much as Lucifer has been regarding Diavolo 👀

🔔 The Fallen Bell
A ceremony performed after the wedding.
Two souls vowed to each other must overcome trials to gain the blessings of spirits.
The two must honour partygoers requests.
The more rings of the Bell, the more happiness on first night.
Lucifer: given a studio and ghost photographer in which to take a group photo of everyone he cares about together.
Mammon: given a temporary spell that makes his thoughts audible to MC.
Levi: given a book that tells the live story of their wedding day and night, to keep evermore.
Satan: given a memento of first date via cat, and a magical bath bomb that gets them soaking wet which is apparently a huge turn on for him.
Asmo: given a fireworks display celebrating their marriage.
Beel: given a special giant cake where every slice reminds him of a different memory of him and MC, including their first kiss.
Belphie: given a ghost train.
Lucifer's gift from the Fallen Bell here is particularly noteworthy, as in the original game Lucifer loathed having his photograph taken for any and every reason. Simeon requests such a photo for his birthday event in 2021, and Lucifer begrudgingly grants it only because it is his birthday.
Now, the newly married Lucifer is not just content to have his photo taken but actively pleased to do so, and to take a couple picture and a group one too.
fingers crossed, softly chanting ("Come on Rafayel, you can do it"), it was nighttime after all.
next pull: 5-star memory
the wrong 5-star page appeared—the apple
me: nononono
"5-star memory guaranteed within 70 pulls"
SEVENTY PULLS
SEVENTY
damn Caleb, just say you hate me and go 😞
Anyway, thanks for reading my sad story :(
I didn't have many wishes left because I tried (unsuccessfully) to get Rafayel's card from the previous event AND I couldn't collect diamonds for a very long time before that since I couldn't get the updates 😔
Good luck me from the future. You'll get the next Rafayel's 5-star memoriessss
Also, good luck lovely people! May you get all the 5-star memories your heart desires in the least amount of pulls possible 🪄🧚🏼♀️
"Look, ya shouldn't be keepin' me waitin'!" Mammon asserted. He had a hand on his hip and his new shoes clicked against the ground as he impatiently tapped his foot.
You had just arrived for the date he arranged. The night was young. Sure, you put some work into your appearance and spent more time than usual getting ready, but you didn't feel late. There were still fifteen minutes until your dinner reservation.
You suggested, "maybe don't show up two hours early next time?"
