Like with otome games on the market, when playing Love and Deepspace, players will take on the role of the main protagonist and have the chance to meet with extremely attractive men that you can try and raise affection and have a relationship with.
Love and Deepspace provides players with a lot of opportunities and amazing interesting features for you to get to know all of the game’s love interests, from the usual otome game feature of going on dates and picking the right option to raise the love interests’ affection level, to the special RPG fighting features that allows you to fight alongside your favorite love interest and have them protect you against all the most dangerous situations.
In this guide, we will go over everything you need to know about one of Love and Deepspace’s love interest - Rafayel and advise you on how you can get to know him as quickly as possible, how you can best respond to his advances during dates and what you should do to maximize his combat potential during fights against the deepspace enemies while playing Love and Deepspace!
Of the 5 different love interests in Love and Deepspace, Rafayel is among the first 3 love interests that is released alongside the game and the 2 other love interests Xavier and Zayne. However, Rafayel requires a bit more story progression until players can meet him compared to the other two love interests.
Rafayel is an artist that draws incredible paintings and is an incredibly artistic man with wavy hair, blue/pink eyes and a lean body build. He often wears white that compliments his lesser muscled body
Like with Xavier and Zayne, Rafayel is one of the game’s first love interests that is available at the release of the game alongside Xavier and Zayne. However, unlike Xavier and Zayne where players can meet them right away after finishing the game’s tutorial stages or the first patch of story, players will need to complete the main story 2-12 stage.
Players can also set him on their home screen to meet him whenever they boot up the game as well after unlocking his With Him section.
Also unlike Xavier or Zayne who works mainly together with the main character against the threat of the deepspace directly as a co-worker and a doctor, Rafayel have a lesser hands on role in the main story of love and deepspace due to his involvement as an artist. This, coupled with the fact the players will meet Rafayel later on in the story compared to those 2 make it so that Rafayel might seem weirdly out of the game’s focus, requiring players to go out of their way to woo him.
Overall, in terms of personality, Rafayel is a very artistic person with a kind and gentle personality with a massive love of arts. Rafayel also has a deep connection to the sea.Therefore, when going on dates with Rafayel, players should focus on options that are related to Arts or The Sea In General. These options in dates will help boost this affinity level by quite a bit and help to make him smile.
In order to raise Rafayel affinity and affection levels and obtain special rewards for doing so, players should focus on raising his memories and play the Kitty Cards and Claw machine minigames.
For Kitty Cards, the Meowco associated with Rafayel is the Flameco Meowco which you can use after playing the game with him to exchange for rewards associated with Rafayel and raise his affinity level.
For The Claw Machine, the Fish and Birbs series of plushies are Rafayel’s reward for inviting him to play the claw machine with you.
