Love and Deepspace fans split over new werewolf love interest Valko

The developers of Love and Deepspace have revealed a new love interest, Valko, who debuts in the game on July 9th. By day he is a tech CEO; by night he leads a werewolf clan. Reaction from the fandom is divided. Many players are excited to have another romantic option, while others say Valko looks too similar to existing characters or doesn’t fit the cast.

One fan suggested he was created to appeal to Western players, asking, “do you European girls like this? This person is not quite the type that girls here like.” — 杨小汐 (@ruoxin601) June 22, 2026 Valko’s presentation is more rugged: he has furry ears and a tail, sometimes moves on all fours and howls.

That contrasts with the other love interests, who share an air of danger but remain more restrained in a style familiar from Asian dramas and otome games. The writer identifies as part of Team Jacob and didn’t warm to Valko at first, preferring doctor Zayne and mafia boss Sylus.
