Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star is a captivating visual novel created by the young author Lorenzo Redaelli. This semi-autobiographical dark romance explores the complexities of an abusive relationship, idealization, and intimacy through an immersive storytelling experience. Players are invited to navigate a summer filled with dysfunctional love, characterized by branching narratives and unexpected twists that keep the journey intriguing. The unique mechanic of selecting different senses to engage with your boyfriend adds depth to interactions, revealing his personality and past in a profound way. As you uncover layers of his character, you will question the dynamics of your relationship, which is often likened to a binary star system—rare and beautiful yet unstable. The game features a rich narrative supported by variables like “submission” and “interest” that fluctuate with each interaction, allowing for multiple endings and tailored experiences. Additionally, Milky Way Prince boasts stunning character art influenced by artists such as Suehiro Maruo and Masaaki Yuasa, alongside meticulously crafted 3D environments inspired by Robert Wilson's stage design. Complementing the experience is a baroque electropop original soundtrack lasting over 30 minutes, enhancing the emotional depth of this thought-provoking game.
