AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Love and Deepspace developers issued a safety warning after sharing fictional cocktail recipes that accidentally included poisonous plant garnishes like datura and flame lilies.
The social media team behind Love and Deepspace found themselves needing to issue a quick safety notice recently. As reported by IGN South Africa, the developers shared five fictional cocktail recipes themed around the game romanceable characters for an in-game event. While the drinks looked visually stunning on feeds, fans quickly noticed a major hazard. Several of the featured recipes included garnishes like datura and flame lilies, which are highly toxic to humans.
Fans immediately flooded the replies to warn other players against trying to recreate the drinks at home. Datura is known to cause severe delirium and hallucinations, while flame lilies contain lethal levels of colchicine. Concerned community members pointed out the reckless nature of posting unverified real-world recipes using poisonous flora, with many demanding the original post be taken down entirely.
In response to the growing alarm, the development team posted a follow-up statement clarifying that the drinks are strictly fictional and meant for in-game purposes only. They urged players not to attempt any recreation in reality. Meanwhile, the game community continues to keep busy on social channels, splitting their attention between the cocktail debacle and ongoing fan tributes for the canceled character Valko.
