Love and Deepspace Zayne: His lore and backstory explained Everything you need to know about LaDS’ Dr Zayne, alias Dawnbreaker, alias the Foreseer, alias Master of Fate. Image credit:Papergames / Infold Games Zayne is the second love interest you encounter in Love and Deepspace , the middleman of the original trio that have been in the game since launch.

Spoiler warning for the end of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 here! Insomniac kicked things off five years ago with its take on Peter Parker, but within that original game we also got to experience the origin story of co-Spider-Man Miles Morales....
