Love and Deepspace's Poisonous Cocktails Spark Player Safety Scare

Love and Deepspace's official social media account triggered a safety crisis on September 28 when it posted five fictional 'Shimmering Blend' cocktail recipes tied to in-game romance events. The designs looked appealing, but several featured lethal plant garnishes: datura, a psychoactive poison causing delirium and hallucinations, and flame lilies, which contain colchicine and can trigger fatal hypovolemic shock. Players immediately flooded replies with alarm, with fans urging deletion and warning others not to attempt real-world versions. The developer responded with a follow-up safety notice clarifying the drinks were purely fictional in-game content. While the studio acted quickly, the incident highlights risks when fantasy game content mimics real consumables, especially across social platforms where casual followers might miss crucial context.
