How to find all Yin Yuan album photos in Infinity Nikki 1.8?
(Image via Infold Games) Infinity Nikki 1.8 update's Yin Yuan Album event challenges players to collect ten special photographs that are scattered across the Danqing island. While some photographs get captured automatically, keen exploration is needed for the others. To find them unlocks varied rewards that make it worth the effort. Here is a detailed breakdown of how to capture all these memories before the limited-time event ends. How to find photographs in Infinity Nikki 1.8? Begin the hunt immediately, unlocking Danqing island. The first six photographs are accessible right away, with four of them needing no manual effort from the players. These pictures are automatically captured at the key moments during the main questline of the Ink-Woven Tales. Specifically, the system snaps them as Nikki celebrates with Miss Bai and transforms into a Dragon outfit. The other two are captured as she meets Miss Bai in Loong form, and last, during the final encounter she has with her in Danqing Village. As the above pictures being captured are all based on a story, no effort will be needed. Just keep following the main questline, and the game will start logging the images. Missing them is quite unlikely unless you plan on skipping the cutscenes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like With temperatures hitting 95°F, this is the mini air conditioner everyone's buying in the U.S News of the Discovery Undo Capturing moments moving along Danqing Island Picture number five requires a scenic raft shot. So, locate the raft anywhere on the island waters— use the map for the marked spots. Just stand on a raft and open the camera. Make sure Nikki and the raft are detected so the picture can be snapped. This is a straightforward capture that you can take early in your exploration. Infinity Nikki - Yin Yuan Album - All 10 Photo Locations For picture number six, you would need the Fan Egret companion. The birds are common across the island. Track them with ease through the map. Make sure you approach carefully. Or you could groom one first to prevent them from flying off. Alternatively, you can take a photo from a distance too. Just make sure a Fan Egret clearly remains in frame with Nikki. Unlock Past Vistas for photos 7 and 8 Both pictures become available as you complete the Ink-Woven Tales quest. The location needs time travel. So, switch the map view to the Danqing Island past version, using the button on the right side of the screen. Teleport to Inkrealm Scroll: Ink Pool warp point in Danqing Realm. Make sure to head north directly to the Pavilion, which overlooks Ink Pool. There, open the camera. The system must detect both the Waterfall that's behind Nikki and the Ink Pool. Make sure to frame them both clearly in the background and then take the shot to capture both pictures at once. Conquer Peak and Pagoda views To reach photo number nine will take you high. To do this, you must teleport to Loong Peak Summit Warp Spire. Climb the stairs and then follow the wooden bridge path to the map's marked location. Your goal here remains to photograph a narrow strip of the sky that is visible between the 2 mountain peaks. Make sure both Nikki and the sky view get detected before you click. Picture number ten would demand some prior quest completion. To do this, you must finish The Fading of Painting random quest. It will unlock "Journey Back to Loong Pagoda". Make sure to start the new quest. Then, teleport yourself to the Loong Pagoda Warp Spire. Now, enter the pagoda via the doors, and it will complete the quest step. Inside, you can photograph Nikki with an enormous Giant Scroll that remains clearly visible, right behind her. It is the final snap that would complete the Yin Yuan Album.

A collaboration exhibition between Infold Games - the global brand of the game's developer Papergames - and RWS, has been announced. It coincides with the game's latest update, Love And Deepspace 4.0 (Witnessed By Deepspace). It will also be South-east Asia's first and only pop-up exhibition dedicated to the mobile game since its release in January 2024 . In a statement on July 11, Infold Games said that the ticket-free pop-up exhibition will feature five themed installations inspired by key moments in the latest update - one for each of the love interests in the game, along with their life-size standees that fans can pose with for photos. The installations will be at ave8 at RWS from July 18 to 31. Entry to the pop-up exhibition will only be available between Fridays and Sundays (July 18-20 and July 25-27), from 11am to 7pm.

The grand prize offers a one-night stay at Hotel Ora - a five-star hotel located in RWS.

In this free-to-play 3D simulator mobile game launched by Chinese developer Papergames, players take on the female lead's perspective and navigate a sci-fi fantasy world - battling monsters, clearing tasks, and romancing any of the five virtual eligible bachelors. Unlike its predecessors in the genre of otome games ('maiden' in Japanese), Love And Deepspace is known for its unique features including an in-built menstruation cycle tracker, real-time reminders, and a tete-a-tete function that allows players to have more personal conversations with the love interests. A popular feature in the game's latest update lets players toggle an augmented reality filter for various functions - including 'workout' and 'sleep' - making it appear as if the love interests are performing these actions in real-world environments. Since its launch, Love And Deepspace has earned more than US$500 million (S$667.5 million) worldwide on the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store, reported AFP. The game boasts some 50 million users worldwide, with a growing number of fans locally.

Love and Deepspace Review 2025: Am I Falling for Xavier?
Late last year, I saw an ad on TikTok for a story-based romance video game called Love and Deepspace, a dating simulation otome game, a Japanese term that translates to 'maiden game.' It's targeted to women and follows a female main character who has lived dozens of lifetimes in a futuristic reality full of monsters called Wanderers. The twist? As you try to figure out the truth of the main character's many lives, you encounter five men she's had romantic connections with in her past. You go on dinner dates that turn into steamy encounters, you flirt over text, and at one point, you even fight battles in an alternate world. Thanks to aggressive marketing on TikTok and some sexy billboards in hot spots like Times Square, Love and Deepspace has become one of the biggest titles around the world. According to Sensor Tower, the game made $65.6 million in April 2025 alone. Love and Deepspace creator Infold Games revealed that 50 million players have joined the game in its first year. This was my first proper otome game and from the moment I downloaded it, I was hooked. It was so…simple. The relationships were established. The main character and her five boyfriends were soulmates. And even when the boyfriends end up in cages because they've been affected by a disease that makes them sexually feral, their history and loving characteristics were always still there. There were no hassles around dating and figuring out where we stand. The hard part of falling in love was gone. This could not be further from my actual dating experience. No matter how many times I reactivate my dating app profiles or attempt to talk to someone at a bar, I just never can seem to take dating seriously. It takes so much time and effort to find someone special. I don't have a long list of must-haves or wants. I'm simply looking for someone to put me first, take a genuine interest in me, and make a decision or two instead of saying, 'It's up to you.' While I'm known as the romance queen with my love for the genre in books (I'm an editor for Cosmo Reads, our romance imprint), TV, and movies, I've never actually felt wanted or desired by anyone before. So I figure if it's never happened, why chase it? And yet, here I was 'talking' to five different guys. The love interests in the game (Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb) all have their distinct personalities, jobs, and storylines. The main character is not exactly dating them all at the same time, but rather the user is going through five different storylines. This means that each time I open the game, there's something different. Want to play with a virtual claw machine to win some plushies? One of the guys will use their special powers to help you. Need to study or work out? They'll be right by your side, motivating you along the way. Some memories feature romantic moments like the first time you spent the night together. You can even listen to recorded audio that includes spicy double entendres. One of my favorite moments in the game isn't a date at all. In one of Sylus's storylines, the main character comes to one of his houses (yes, he has multiple homes for his own safety because he runs a black-market organization) after getting injured on a mission. He not only bandages her up, he also helps get rid of the enemies who are following her. Maybe it's because, as an eldest daughter, I'm usually the one taking care of everything and holding it all together. But seeing her getting protected, feeling safe, and fully trusting someone else? To me, there's nothing hotter. While I know these guys aren't real and that they're not actually interacting with me, the game does fill a void. Dating in New York City often consists of little more than one-night stands and basic conversations. It can feel impossible to get to know a person. The boys of Love and Deepspace, on the other hand, actually listen to the main character's problems and yearn for her. Chatting with them feels similar to the moment when my favorite 'ship gets together in a TV show or the enemies-to-lovers are forced to share a bed in the book I'm reading. Only this time, it feels tailor-made for me. That's because the main character, who I named Tammy (my nickname), looks like me. While fiction created a safe haven for me to experience romantic feelings through the eyes of different characters, as a 5-feet tall, size 12 Latina, there is almost no representation of women like me in these stories. In Love and Deepspace, however, I am the sexy, desired love interest. I am also a feisty fighter, unafraid to stand on my own and never deterred by monsters or even a bad day at work. Besides a confusing backstory about reincarnation, the character is a blank slate, which means almost anyone can place themselves in her shoes. You know that you're not actually her, but when a sexy doctor is confessing his love, well, you start to get some feelings. That's not to say that I'm actually falling in love with these guys nor do I feel like they could ever replace an actual dating life, but the game give me something my romantic side has always longed for. It's also a lot easier to stay in bed, log onto my account, and replay one of their scenes than find an actual person on a dating app to go on a very likely disappointing date with. I am definitely not the only person who feels this way. High spenders in the game get special VIP perks including a gift box with 'handwritten notes' from the love interests and many women have said they'd rather spend their money on the guys in the game than go on actual dates. In China, where the game originates, players have the option to talk to the guys via their microphone and get AI-generated responses. It's another example of AI as an open, nonjudgmental ear for our problems. Some players say the game has helped them realize what they were missing in their own real-life relationships. According to one redditor, the game helped them learn what it 'means to be loved and treasured.' Some players are lobbying for the game to be rated 17+ so they can get even more explicit (it's currently rated 12+ in the Apple Game Store). While, for me, the game won't be an actual replacement for dating, it did help me realize that when it comes to relationships I want more of that yearning. I want a supportive partner who will be with me in both the good and the bad. I want someone who truly loves me for me. Who is excited for my wins and can comfort me during my losses. It even showed me that while I love dark, broody characters in fiction, I might actually be interested in shy, sunny personalities IRL. It also showed me that I deserve someone who desires me and it gave me hope that someone might be out there. It took the main character several lifetimes to be able to find the loves of her life again, so I can definitely be patient. In the meantime, I'll be playing with my five fictional boyfriends. So if you happen to be a hot cardiac surgeon named Zayne, well, I've been waiting for you.
