Love and Deepspace Devs Warn: Don't Drink the Poison

Did you catch the Love and Deepspace cocktail drama? The devs at Papergames recently posted some cute drink recipes online, inspired by those adorable in-game slimes—Artsyblobbu, Fiendyblobbu, Pilotblobbu, Snowyblobbu, and Stellablobbu. The post promised, "One taste of this Special Blend and you won’t forget it," and included non-alcoholic mixes with ingredients from the game. Sounds like harmless fun, right?

Well, not so fast. Sharp-eyed fans quickly noticed that some of the listed ingredients were anything but safe. We're talking hallucinogens like Datura and toxic elements like colchicine—stuff you definitely don't want in your drink. The community wasted no time warning others that recreating these cocktails could be lethal. Yikes.

Papergames caught on and posted a follow-up a day later, stressing that the recipes are "fictional" and meant for "in-game purposes" only. So, no, you shouldn't actually mix them up. But the damage was done, and the replies to the original tweets were just as toxic—not because of the ingredients, but because players hijacked the thread to demand that Valko, the hunky werewolf, finally be added to the game. That's a whole other controversy that's been brewing for a while.

The Valko controversy has left the fandom divided, and this latest misstep only adds fuel to the fire. It's been a rough year for Love and Deepspace fans, and the devs seem to keep stepping in it. First, the Valko debacle, now this. It's enough to make you wonder what's next.

So, what can you take away from this? Simple: think twice before you start mixing drinks from a video game's social media account. Always double-check the ingredients, because you don't want to harm your body or end up tripping the light fantastic. The devs might have meant well, but this is a good reminder that not everything in a game should be taken literally.

What do you think about this cocktail controversy? Will you be steering clear of any Love and Deepspace-inspired drinks? Let us know in the comments!
