Just a few months after Sylus made a big entrance in Love And Deepspace, the developers introduced the eagerly awaited fifth love interest: Caleb, the charming guy from the hometown. Unlike other love interests, Caleb was revealed well in advance of when players can actually pursue him as a romantic partner or ally in combat.
If you’ve played through at least Chapter Four, titled Under Twilight, you might already be familiar with Caleb. After his unexplained absence, you may be curious about how he fits back into the storyline. But don’t worry! We have all the details you need to welcome Caleb back to Love and Deepspace.
This article contains minor spoilers for Chapter Four of Under Deepspace and Caleb’s primary storyline chapter, Homecoming Wings.
Who Is Caleb?
Caleb is a childhood friend of the main character. Following the Chronorift Catastrophe, both he and the MC were taken in by Josephine, whom they affectionately refer to as their grandmother. Although they aren’t biologically related, they grew up together under her care. Caleb is a skilled deepspace pilot working for the Deepspace Aviation Administration and is the fifth love interest available in Love and Deepspace.
How To Unlock Caleb
Caleb’s arrival in the game parallels Sylus’s introduction in many aspects, including when he can join the player as a companion. However, players will have the chance to get to know him much sooner than they did with Sylus.
To unlock Caleb’s character, you must finish Episode Three, titled Vanishing Skyward – Empathic Interrogation. After completing the episode, you’ll receive a notification indicating that you can now interact with Caleb at the Deepspace Cafe, through memories, during dates, on the player’s cellphone, and in combat scenarios.
Even if you haven’t unlocked Caleb fully, you can still collect memories related to him from the permanent Wish Pool, Xspace Echo, along with any limited pools featuring his memories. Once you’ve unlocked him, you can start experiencing your collected memories.
After you complete the episode and receive the notification, you can start building your Affinity with Caleb. You can enhance your Affinity with characters through various activities, such as going on dates and participating in Playtime interactions.
While it’s possible to unlock Caleb before finishing the main story, we suggest playing through at least Chapters One to Four of the main storyline before diving into Homecoming Wings.
For a more cohesive storyline experience and to fully immerse yourself in the game, it’s best to go through all previous storyline stages, including the main branches for Sylus, Xavier, Zayne, and Rafayel.
If you’d rather not catch up on all those chapters, there’s no need to worry. You’ll receive a summary of the key plot points from earlier chapters when you begin Episode One, titled Infiltration.
