"Love and Deepspace Adds Face Verification in China"

Love and Deepspace is set to introduce a new face verification system in China starting April 2025, aligning with the country's stringent regulations on gaming. This move, while it may seem intense, is a response to China's ongoing efforts to regulate gaming addiction among minors, particularly for games like Love and Deepspace, which is rated 18+ in the region. Under China's Minors' Protection Law, the gaming industry faces strict measures including playtime limits: 90 minutes on weekdays and up to three hours on weekends. Additionally, games must display 'Healthy Gaming Advice' to remind players to take breaks and avoid overindulgence. Facial recognition technology, already a common feature in Chinese daily life for security at airports and banks, is now being extended to gaming to enforce these regulations more effectively.

For players outside of China, this development is unlikely to have any impact. The global version of Love and Deepspace maintains a 12+ rating in most app stores, and there are no indications that a face verification system will be implemented internationally. This means that global players can continue enjoying the game without worrying about additional verification steps.
