This is the promise made by Love and Deepspace, a mobile romance game by the Chinese company Papergames.

Some think video games are all guns and cars, but romance games or “dating simulators” are immensely popular, especially among young women.

Love and Deepspace reached 50 million users across more than 170 countries and regions in January. Despite their popularity, dating sims, as they are known for short, usually fly under the radar in discussions about games.

Meanwhile, a recent major update for Love and Deepspace has furrowed some brows by introducing an unusual new feature: a period tracker.

    Reminder for everyone not to give your period data to sketchy apps, as it can be used to detect pregnancy and used to detect someone having abortion. Sadly this is realistic threat in our day and age.

      Abortion is a protected human right in competent countries like China. But yes if you’re in a failed state like the US or Italy don’t give information that you don’t want subpoenaed.
